<< I could imagine the Tooth Fairy, but we are discussing what a LIKELY God or Gods could do.>>
I guess where I am, with my limited comprehension of QM, is that as a person who finds no Gods "likely," and understands all Gods to be products of the imagination, I really can't see why it isn't as valid to postulate (imagine) a God who knows all about what to expect from atoms and particles as it is to postulate a God who knows all about everything just short of those itty bitty things, or a tooth fairy. A tooth fairy is no more strange a concept, though it's one less comforting to those in need of comfort, than is that of a God who made things as they are and could make things better but doesn't and yet is supposed to be called "benevolent," and worshipped.
<<it is possible to imagine a God not bound by such limitations. Which, I think, is what E was getting at.>>
X is right, that's really what I was saying. It's all imaginary.
Though the idea that philosophical determinism has been blown out of the water by quantum mechanics is really interesting. I wonder who accepts this as a notion and who doesn't. Among philosophers, or schools of philosopy. |
