Having nothing against being disagreed with. Though I'd rather have had that in my last post :) In this one I would like to welcome some other interpretations of Genesis or any other book of the bible.

Alright, let me respond.

Who is "we"? If you say that you know that we humans as a whole are incapable of questioning our own thoughts, then I strongly disagree with you. Since that is a speculation on your part.

but there are almost no definitive statements we can state factually regarding spirit, consciousness, or mind.

Why would one make a "definitive statement" since it shall be a good start to express oneself artistically whenever dealing with spirit, consciousness, or mind?

Apart from that, I would give science a chair but not the entire hall, in terms of human spirit, consciousness, or mind. The other chairs go to the arts and what else one can think of.

Again, who is "we" when you say "we" don't understand our own consciousness. There are ways to do that, and I just took one such path in the post above by providing an intellectual interpretive effort regarding the rich Christian culture (you must know how rich the libraries are, no?).

Even if it were true that consciousness, spirit and mind is not understood (by whom?), that is a fatalistic statement that makes any involvement in how I express myself as a human being, how I choose to understand and interpret my culture, completely meaningless (I wouldn't want others to get discouraged as well). It's as if you were saying that because we have not understood it in full, it's superflous to even try. What horrible silence that would be. Not sure how to understand you here. (Maybe as humans we can be such ignorants?)

Now, I would argue from the other way around and say: Because we try, we find more information about our consciousness and the nature of our cognition.

Questioned differently, where does understanding for yourself come from? Alone from scientific data?
You don't grow up as a kid reading science, are you? First and foremost you play and train your senses.

What about music, painting, sculpting, poetry, music, book writing? All of this can bring you to an understanding of yourself. Do you need a scientific explanation to understand art/music or do you first understand the music and then find out about the scientific explanation?

Another question: Have you yourself tried one of those arts? I mean, in a really tough way, tried to learn one of them? Instrument or painting oder script writing?
From my experience I can tell that I tried. Once, it was a book, and the moment I had around three hundred pages done, I found out much about logic, structure, organization, character creation, coherence etc. etc. - it taught me a great deal about what I thought I knew, and what I indeed knew and was capable of. To become a really good author of a solid several hundred pages, man, you really get something going there.

I agree, it is truly difficult to master a profession but I believe there are fantastic artists and scientists and everything in between in past and present human history. There is competence and there is incompetence, I think that is correct to say. It's incorrect to say that

we are incompetent to discuss higher states of being

I did that right in my text. I am not offended when you found that incompetent. But then it's like you are critiquing a meal, but weren't eating it. Give me a competent interpretation of Genesis and I will shamelessly judge it as brilliant or just crappy or something in between. No offense, see me smiling.

I can't believe you are incompetent in doing it. I would believe though in answering me that you are not interested.

Greetings.
