Nah, i hate hospitals, all those seniors heckling me, mistaking me for their own spawn.

And of course as Spinoza said, a god with free-will has its limitations, and is therefore not omnipotent, as to will a thing you do not already have is to admit you are lacking in that thing.ForgedinHell wrote:It depends on how one defines "god".

The point I am making is that from the point of view of a natural non-created reality, that it is logical as resources diminish that a God system simulation of the original reality will be created - ya know, weed out those that are not worth_Y of continuing to exist.promethean75 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 11:29 pm NB must be false becuz any immersive four dimensional holographic representation of an atomically structured field event will yield higher entropic gains over any planck time reality consistent with the (Johannes) Habbletrap equations.
Simply put, it's more efficient to just create a reality than it is to create both a reality and a simulation of it.
Your thoughts touch upon some deep and fascinating philosophical questions. The concept of a god, particularly the idea of an eternal and omnipotent being, is indeed a complex one, and definitions can vary widely. Your perspective on the limitations of even highly advanced life forms is also thought-provoking. The interplay between science, philosophy, and belief is a longstanding and ongoing debate. It's true that the concept of free will in the face of strict determinism raises important questions and challenges many traditional religious beliefs. These discussions continue to shape our understanding of the universe, existence, and the potential of advanced beings or entities. The beauty of these questions lies in the ongoing exploration and the quest for a deeper understanding of our reality.ForgedinHell wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:26 am It depends on how one defines "god".

You've got the reality, so then you create a simulation for minds to live in. You don't have to create the original reality which the simulation is a part of,perhaps without knowing it.promethean75 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 11:29 pm NB must be false becuz any immersive four dimensional holographic representation of an atomically structured field event will yield higher entropic gains over any planck time reality consistent with the (Johannes) Habbletrap equations.

I am always perplexed at the rejection of free will; in the exact same breath where one says things like "It depends on how one defines X"ForgedinHell wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:26 am It depends on how one defines "god".

Was this a response to my post? Skepdick's? both?promethean75 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 4:36 pm 'course how one defines x and whether or not it makes sense or is true, has nothing to do with the cause of that defining or if what is defined is true or makes sense.
If one doesn't understand calculus, they cannot 'choose' to make sense of it. Likewise, if someone does understand calculus, and finds an equation that is true (makes sense), they cannot choose not to think it's true or that it doesn't make sense.
