"The difference between philosophy and religion is the difference between speaking and listening... Philosophy is man's search for God; the Bible is the story of God's search for man. Philosophy is words flying up; the Bible is the Word sent down. Ecclesiastes is the only book in the Bible in which God is totally silent... God is only the object of his quest, not the subject." -- Peter Kreeft, Three Philosophies of Life
Revelation comes down, speculation goes up. We thrust our guesses into the air like a bottle rocket or we receive our answers from above like the rain. Ecclesiastes is a Word from God about what it would look like if He kept silent. If He made the world and then lost track of it in one of His miscellaneous drawers in His heavenly mansion.
