Murray's passage contrasts what he calls "the main
web of life" (permanent life) with "the historical
evolution of life" (progressive life). And similarly, in my
lecture script, I contrast the Greek
words kairos (timeless moments in time)
with chronos (clock-time). Now, using the language
of Murray's passage, tell me two of the examples
Murray gives to characterize permanent life (the
opposite of progressive life).
One example that Murray gives to characterize permanent life, which contrasts with progressive life, is the application of mathematical laws. According to Murray, permanent life operates under mathematical laws that remain constant and unchanging. This contrasts with the historical evolution of life, which is characterized by progress and continuous change.
Another example Murray gives to illustrate permanent life is the concept of eternal truths. He describes how permanent life is governed by eternal truths that do not fluctuate with time or circumstances. These truths provide a stable foundation for human existence and contrast with the dynamic nature of historical evolution.
