Language, which compresses the infinite existence of the present into a finite narrative of limited reason, is a revolution against the divine, the construction of an individual’s tower of Babylon.
Perhaps the creation of written language itself was the beginning of original sin, when we began tainting God-given reality with our own narrative, when tales of Abraham were split into separate stories of the Bible, Torah, and Quran. When Satan introduced the apple in the Garden of Eden, perhaps it was language, a tool for deception against self and others, the false confidence handed to us humans by Satan that we are able to know things other than what’s presented in front of us.
Our ability to talk of the past and the future enslaves humanity in shackles of regret and fear, introducing the false concept of time that shines light upon death. God promises infinite life, the absence of death to those who believe. Language, and its children, logic and reason, is the root of time which arranges events one after the other until we reach death. All branches of imagination regarding the self leads to death, it is the one certainty underneath all presumptions. Therefore, infinite life, and God, cannot exist within reason. Infinite life exists outside the realm of language, back in the Garden of Eden.
Heidegger suggests that guilt, our infinite debt, is the result of our finitude, our fundamental condition to negate infinite possibilities through choice. This debt, interpreted as original sin by the religious, is materialized by reason through logical inference. With the introduction of language, humans pridefully attempt to deduce reality, the gift from God which is infinite by itself, into a set of finite propositions. By rejecting the gift of reality, we owe back the infinite possibilities that we failed to capture and call it the "absurd".
On Moses's return from Mount Sinai he saw the Israelites worship a golden calf, a false god created by man. We have not escaped our foolishness. In order to deal with our impatience within man-made time, humans worship man-made knowledge in our race to know the unknown. The fundamental problem is not in science. It is in our belief of science as ultimate truth that place reason on the same echelon as the divine. "No one can serve two masters" (Matt. 6:24). One must regard logic lightly to embrace truth and infinite life.
