RE: The God of Physics

in #pantheism7 years ago

There is always so much depth in your comments =)

The first I will address is your continued miscategorization of choosing to act in a given way as some kind of bondage. Being able to act as we choose to is rather freedom.

I posit a God that has freely chosen not only to act as He will, but to potentiate all to do so. In view of the demonstrable contraindicated actions of many, we see that we are not held in some kind of bondage philosophically, but indeed may act within the constraints of physics at our sole option.

I refute your contention that God is His own slave, as silly.

While attributing to anyone my personal morals is indeed erroneous, it is factual that everyone has morals. The particulars of their 'brand' of morals are variable, yet we see that physics is not variable, and my using the physical laws extant to derive the morals of a creator God does not seem unreasonable to me, albeit certain to result in imperfect understanding insofar as my understanding of physics is imperfect, amongst other reasons.

As to ants and men, I commend to you the work of E.O. Wilson, one of the most brilliant biologists that has ever published, and who spent most of his life studying ants.

Fairness is not a human construct at all. Dogs, octopi, even savage cats consider fairness, and to a far greater degree than is strictly profitable in terms of sustenance. Do research the topic, and profit yourself by revealing the limitations mere economic considerations proscribe.

Justice... Ah! that discussion is beyond me presently. I appreciate your stimulations to give it more thought.

Thanks!
