I should add that my beliefs are wholly non-denominational: very little in pop religion or spirituality matches any evidence I have. But yes: it/we are intelligent by *choice* and that's how we *stop* the violence. We can unlearn "evil" and get our Garden back, so to speak. 1/2
Ex: I'm garden-esque "innocent" literally: I commit no crimes, break no commandments, practice the virtues. The opposite is also observable, in the churches and in government, and the more they want their sin the worse THEY get, but not me. And note they want god powers but hate science. Lol. :)
I would be really curious for the evidence you have for what you believe. But So far the what seems very "cool story bro" I'm also curious about how you know this. Followed by the why should I believe it Commandments,sin are like the term blasphemy to me. Tools they use that I don't acknowledge
I won't belabor it, in short: observing natural things like Pi, the periodic table, and orbital mechanics reveal (to my mind) what might be described as "one long joke". I asked "if there is omniscience", then went looking where I thought most likely to find it: science. Fine-tuned universe theory
I have much to say later about the idea that our local area is fine tuned for us. But Douglas Adams and Sean Carroll easily handle the idea that the universe is in any way fine tuned for us. With one universe to observe our data points are weak. For all we know the constants are linked together.
I'm familiar. All around *is* mercilessly lethal, except this very comfortable place, save for tech. #temetics Again, I don't want to proselytize, so again short answer: "time" is a "spatial" dimension and there are more than 4, e.g.: you make "sideways" timeline selections every day. I see in 7.
Very comfortable place? Hardly. Feel free to expand your concepts. A rational mind awaits the answers
> comfortable Well, if you omit the men with guns ruining it for everyone else.
And the cold. And the hot. And most of the wet. And the earthquaky part. And parasitic part. And the real tall part. We don't need to blame people for a great deal of the terror of this planet and existence on it.
I've been to and survived all, if you do not actively seek extremes it's all pretty cushy IMO. All we need to live loooong lives is available in nature, literally grows on trees. That's not a proof of a creator, but does suggest that ~2/3rds "good" I mentioned. It's not 50/50 when intelligent.
And it's hardly impressive that we find ourselves in a part of the universe that permits our forms of life basic existence. Wouldn't it be more impressive if all around us was toxic/poisonous/uninhabitable life yet we survived. Instead we fit our little pond on a little rock in a big area, for now.
And the idea that this planet is fine tuned for us is absurd and as an actual tuner of a kind its somewhat insulting. Big rock crashed into us and we got a moon Ice rocks crashed in for water Big rock destroys almost all life to create a niche for a rat to monkey transformation to happen Fine-tuned?
Nothing you cite is false, it's just time linear and limited to a 4D concept/description mostly by our language conventions. $.02
Or reality. What are these 3 other dimensions you speak of and can you connect others with them?
They're just dimensions: one new finite infinity for each, see: matrices in math. A thought experiment. You decide to drive to a rando hotel tonight. At 11pm your XYZ coords are different than if you had not, while T is exactly the same. For this to happen there must be 1 more... 1/2
dimension (5) available to result in two different 4-space outcomes. "Selection of value" is a 5D "time-like vector" and not all result in continued cognition, if you drive off a cliff the higher D potentials ("ranges of motion") cancel and yer dead. But select a 5D that results in life you live.
