The Ectoplasmic Panhellenic Investigation

Thats the name of an episode of "The Middleman" - which I have never watched, however, I am intrigued by the name.


I was quite disappointed in the lost finale. Although it explained alot of things, it didnt really finish on a "cliff hanger".


Still, it was good for sure.


I've been discussing progressive revelation with some folks recently. Their idea is that over time as human understanding evolves, our understanding of God evolves also. The problem with this idea is that their understanding of God can evolve into something that doesnt reflect "what God is".


You see, if God was like "this", and over time human understanding evolves and we now think God is like "--that--", we have a problem. "This" and "--that--" are two completely different things which suggests that "this" was wrong in the first place, which suggests that "--that--", an evolution of "this" is also wrong, which leads to "God does not exist at all".


Progressive revelation should suggest that we comprehend more about what "this" is. As soon as it evolves into "--that--" it cancels itself out.
