The Limits of Human Knowledge

Two articles I came across today are fascinating for what they say about the limitations of scientific and philosophical inquiry to really capture how intricately our Creator made us, both as individuals and as social beings (imaging inter-trinitarian relationships in personal relationships).
It's baseball season again, and here is an article about computer simulations in baseball, and the reality of baseball. Significantly, the writer indicates that while statistics can predict to an extent what will happen, they cannot take into account the stress and emotions of a real game--and are thus extremely limited.
In another article David Brooks ("Philosophy's End") grapples with the interplay between reason and emotion (what Jonathan Edwards called "affections") in ethics and morality. Many philosophers since Greek philosophy have regarded morality as a matter of reason and rational decision-making, and emotions as unpredictable and uncontrollable (by reason, that is); contemporary philosophy finds it more complicated than that, and find that emotions (affections) play a much bigger part in moral decisions.
Scripture sheds light on what these philosophers miss. Moral virtues and vices grow out of affections and reason. Love for God and neighbor are foundational--and include both reason (what glorifies God? What does good for my neighbor?) and affection (passionate affection for God's glory, and hatred for what undercuts it; passion for what is just, and therefore good for my neighbor, and hatred for what is unjust). To be sure, we struggle to attain both the knowledge and the affections that we need and ought to have and experience; these the Spirit works in us. We long to be made more holy. But no doubt we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
