i like his explanation. Scientists too use metaphorical language to explain things like electron "spin" and "orbitals" and black "holes."
This is what Lote Tree said in another thread
My view as I have said previously in different threads, the encounter between man and divine never have been a logical encounter because God is beyond language and reason. Even Prophet Muhammad did not reach out to the heavens for the revelations but rather he descended to the very core of his soul in a "meditative trance" to meet his maker. And because God is beyond language and reason then any information that we obtain from this encounter will always be a "rationalised" version of this encounter. That is why you get the burning bush, angels etc. because language and reason is not equipped to describe the ineffable reality of God...
