“I was forced to “think outside of the box (universe)” so to speak”......................

LOL. That statement says it all. Can God be contained in a box? No. That’s the answer. Faith in God is a gift, and is not confined by any mortal logic.

For the sake of some stubborn scientists/atheists, however, I applaud his writing.

We can NOT know God in His Essence. Therefore, we cannot explain God by our logic or science.

We CAN—by Grace—know God in His Energies. (Grace is one of His Energies.) This kind of knowledge is more akin to knowing another person whom we love than knowing by logic or through the senses. It may happen, for example, through the Holy Sacraments of the Orthodox Church, or via deep prayer. (See especially the writings of St. Gregory Palamas.)

Michael Pravica’s essay is useful, however, for those of us living in a science-based world, which includes all of us, even Orthodox Christians.

Meanwhile, there are some physicists and mathematicians who are trying to convert quantum theory to a branch of probability, thus eliminating the wave/particle duality, etc. (I imagine that these researchers are atheists, too.) However, in my mind, this divorces quantum theory from observation and experiment, and it thus ceases to be real science.

That's what he said about the Father.

Can God be contained in a box? No.
