Per a Jewish Rabbi’s discussion on NPR the other day, today I am contemplating the known, the unknown, and the unknowable.

It seems that, regardless of our faith, these are three theological and epistemological categories that we would all do to consider.

The rabbi pointed out the danger of substituting one category for another.  For example, substituting the unknownable with what we know.
