Pondering — ‘A Constant Churn of Ideas’

Interesting enough are the implications that Drew Coffman discusses in ’A Constant Churn of Ideas’. Relevant to his point is the discussion — long thought over by many — of what came first, the chicken or the egg?

The egg is solely dependent on the nurturing of the chicken, but the chicken had to hatch from an egg. A long chain of uncertainties flows in both directions — and as for mankind, we are not capable of discerning the implications that either direction encompasses.

In the scientific method, a question is posed, hypothesized, experiment is conducted, results are concluded, and an observation is made. We are able to digest that which revolves around the terms agreed upon in physics, but what Coffman is suggesting is solely metaphysical — beyond physical explanation. A metaphysical idea, something beyond what we can calculate as humans. For that, thought does reign over the person. But wait — the human manifests the idea.

The human decides whether or not to “churn.”
