In a fictional world in which the seemingly supernatural occurs, realistic liberal religious believers may regularly be stereotyped as having no answers. But even in that context, a minister who believed in miracles would have no better answer than the one that is always offered: \u201cGod did it\u201d, followed by specious claims to know
why<\/em> God did \u201cit\u201d, and perhaps even how<\/em>. But confidence<\/em> that God is involved (a confidence, at any rate, which many religious believers, whether liberal or conservative, may well share) is not the same as knowledge<\/em> about God\u2019s involvement or what it means. When it comes to the latter, acknowledgment of our ignorance will probably lead us to greater understanding than denial of ignorance<\/em> is likely to.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

I hope that in the future,
FlashForward<\/em> will get beyond stereotypes and depict the complexities of human religious responses to crises, to the unknown, and to that which slowly becomes known and understood. In the mean time, we\u2019re certainly being told an enthralling story.<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/images3.wikia.nocookie.net\/flashforward\/images\/b\/b6\/Alda_Hertzog.jpg\")
<\/a>Of course, we have hints in the show that such a perspective may be correct \u2013 that the event, however bizarre, may have human involvement and scientific explanations. <\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-3488988897580743020?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\")
