Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity

The Models of God

                We now know that God is the Eternal Something.  Therefore, we know “who” created the universe.  Now we need to figure out “how” He did it and “why”.  What I have determined is that after you know the “how” it is pretty easy to figure out the “why”.  However, in order to know the “how” we must first understand more of who God really is.  How can we know more about who God is?

                In order to better understand something, usually a model is required.  For example, scientists use a model to explain how DNA works.  This is the double-helix model.  A person would have a truly difficult time understanding anything about DNA without this model.

                So what model can we use to understand God?  In order to have a decent model that we can use to understand God we need something with higher intelligence.  God is obviously the highest of all intelligences, since He is all knowing.  Therefore, we can only use that which has the highest intelligence we can find. 

                And so, I will use two models.  The first is a computer.  The second is a human being.  Since humans are the highest intelligence we have, and computers can rival human intelligence (even being able to beat them in video games if you put their challenge levels on difficult) these are obviously the best two models that we can use to understanding God better.

                I will start with the computer because computers are built by humans.  Since humans did not build themselves, it is hard to use humans as a model.  We don’t know everything there is to know about humans.  Since computers are built by humans we have the ability to completely understand how they work.  However, I do think that once we start examining computers and relating them to God, and to humans, I think you will soon find that we will understand a bit more how humans are truly made.
