This is the video someone shared to me on Facebook, and from it I got hooked on Mr. Deity. I love this one and it will always remain one of my personal favourites. I have bought the DVD for seasons 3 and four. More, more I say!
God made every part of universe and everything in it dependent upon others, so that none could exist without the other ; time cannot exist without space or matter, similarly space cannot exist without time and matter and matter cannot exist without space and time and this triple alliance or triangle or interdependence is the *general relativity.*
@GypsyLeah Do scientific discoveries and knowledge cause such a scientist to conclude that matter, *unknowing and unperceiving *, is his creator and that of all beings?
No?
Then how can the duped atheists and some of the scientists delude themselve and *believe* that hydrogen and oxygen, electrons and protons, should first produce themselves, then be the source for all other beings, and finally decree the laws that regulate themselves and the rest of the material world?
@1tabligh You need to stop thinking in terms of 'creators' and 'decrees' and 'sources'.
The universe is a big place and we're still on the path to understanding it. Inserting some kind of god as an explanation for things doesn't get us anywhere because it isn't an explanation. I'd rather investigate reality and find out how it really works.
How could some of the scientists permit themselves to make a claim that would necessitate knowledge as extensive as the scheme of the universe, when their knowledge of the total scheme of being is *close* to zero, when confronted with a whole mass of unknowns concerning this very earth and tangible, lifeless matter, let alone the whole universe?
God and not "misterdeity" destine matter and energy to be dissolve into time. He so arranged and consolidated these factors - matter, time and space that the intensity of their diverse and opposing properties was reduced....., to have their existence relative to and dependent upon time, thus giving matter time, and therefore,space a continuum that one cannot exist without the other two.
What is called science by the *science-worshippers* of the present age and regarded by them as equivalent to the sum total of *reality*, is simply a collection of laws applicable to a single dimension of the world. The result of all human effort and experimentation is a body of knowledge concerning a minute bright dot comparable to the dim light of a candle-surrounded by a dark night enveloping a huge desert of indefinite extent.
All praise is due to ALLAH, the Lord of the Universe.
@1tabligh No one who is truly scientifically minded would claim that everything is known. Nice straw-man. On the other hand, YOU claim to know something that science somehow doesn't, but you have no evidence to backup any of your claims. You are just asserting things that you have no way of knowing are true.
And besides, everybody knows that He-Man is the true Master of the Universe.
Your delusion that science has put out the notion of God is purely *rhetorical* and has nothing to do with logical method, because even thousands of scientific experiments could not possibly suffice to demonstrate that no non-material being or factor exists.
Your delusion is nothing more than a *fanatical* illusion based on unproven theories.
@1tabligh You're imagining things. I never claimed anywhere that science has "put out" the notion of God. I am establishing that if you want a positive claim to be accepted, then you need evidence to support that claim. There is no evidence for the existence of god, so no reason for me or anyone to belief it also exists.
But if this Allah guy really existed, I am quite sure that He-Man would be able to beat the snot out of him. He has got one half of the power sword and a badass battle cat!
@Petrander I would discuss this issue if you can marshal well founded cogent arguments, which I will admit, otherwise you have no right to interpolate without a ken for polemics with your the snot out ...a badass battle cat!"
It does not behove you to talk in the strain that you do! Never use any impropriety, nor retort aggressively.
I thought you are very forbearing, dignified, reasonable and of mature intellect. But you are harsh and touchy. You dont't listen to my talk
@Petrander very attentively. You should invite my arguments, so much so that when I have exhausted my armoury and I think to have silenced you, you, with a brief resume, stultify all my reasoning and dumfound me, so that I am left without a plank to answer the arguments of your personage. If you are of this company, then talk to me in the same strain.

Stupid brainless cuckoo atheist with asinine mind!
@Petrander And this is what the ATHEISTS fail to understand and in their misguided blindness and *bewilderment* they are like the blind people groping right and left not knowing the purpose for this Universe, and unaware of the underlying ingenuity, they might begin to reprimand the architect of the Universe in their offensive rage, whereas, as a matter of fact, the fault lies with their own inability to see.
@Petrander This analogy holds good in the case of those who deny the creative factor and the argument in favour of Divine Design. Failing to appreciate the merit of their provision, the perfection of creation and the beauty of design, they start wandering in the wide world, *bewildered* by their inability to grasp with their *brains* the underlying causes and principles. Mankind is perplexed and bewildered, blind, infatuated in their perverseness, following their devils and spectres.
@Petrander They have eyes but do not see, they have tongues but are dumb, and do not understand. They have ears but do not hear. They are happy in their contemptible degradation. They presume that they are well-guided. They are diverted from the rank of *rational* beings. They feed on the vegetation of' polluted dirty people. They deem themselves safe from a sudden visitation of death and the retribution of deeds. Alas! How ill fated are these people!
@Petrander They became disbelievers, and because of a deficiency of their knowledge and *puerility* of intellect, began quibbling inimically with Truth, so much so that they denied creativeness and claimed that all this universe was meaningless and vain, without any ingenious design on the part of a Designer or Creator ALLAH - a purposeless non-entity without balance or poise.
@Petrander "And the parable of those who disbelieve is as the parable of one who calls out to that which hears no more than a call and a cry; deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they do not understand. "
The Quran 2:171
Surely the vilest of animals, in God's sight, are the deaf, the dumb, who do not understand.
@1tabligh Dude, I did retort your argument. That you only read the bottom half of my comments is your own stupid problem.
And I am highly offended by your implication that He-Man would be outmachoed by this "Allah" *whatever* of yours. Does he perhaps have a power sword? Or a Battle Cat? Hah! I don't think so! Did you perhaps ever see them in action? Of course not! Verily, I say, then you cannot prove me wrong! Not with a thousand of experiments could you prove that!
@Petrander Views such as these derive directly from a system of thought centered on materialism; within it, everything is defined and delimited with reference to materialism.
To interpret materialism in such a sense is in the final analysis strictly meaningless; it would be a superstitious notion involving the perversion of truth, and to regard it as scientific would, in fact, be *treason* to science.
@1tabligh Materialism? Yeah, I know what you mean. Mattel and Roger Sweet earned tons of money with the He-Man and the Master of the Universe franchise, acquiring loads of material goods to their private possession. Another proof of the truthfulness of their message. Although I have to admit, this whole "Allah" franchise worked out pretty well for Mohammed too in very much the same way.
BTW I am still waiting for your evidence, while you waste time blabbering besides the point.
@Petrander Even if the followers of a religious school of thought had no proofs for their claim, to conclude firmly and forcibly that non- being reigns beyond the sensory realm would be a non-scientific choice, based on imagination and speculation.
@1tabligh I never claimed that god(s), leprechauns, unicorns or a teapot in orbit around Venus don't exist. YOU are making the claims here, and if you want your claims to be accepted by me or anyone, you better come up with some evidence for them.
And BTW: He-Man does exist. Just ask Roger Sweet. Your dismissal of my claims of this "Allah" being any match for the mighty He-Man is pure speculation. Unless you arrange a death match between the two, you have no proof.
@Petrander Some people try to propagate this *fantasy* in the garb of science and to present their choice as having been dictated by scientific thought. In the final analysis, however, the denial involved in such an assertion is unworthy of science and philosophy, and even *contradicts* empirical logic.
@Petrander When the experimental sciences demonstrate that the elements and natural facrtors cannot exert any independent influence and do not possess any creativity; when all of our experiences, our sensory feelings, and our rational deductions point to the conclusion that nothing occurs in nature without a reason and cause and that all phenomena are based on an established system and specific laws, when all of this is the case, it is surprising that some people turn their backs on
@Petrander scientific principles, primary deductions and propositions based on reflection, and deny the existence of the Creator.
Now, too, in the age of science and technology, when man has found his way into space, a considerable number of scientists have a religious outlook as part of the intellectual system; they have come to believe in the existence of a creator, a source for all beings, not only by means of the heart and the conscience, but also through deduction and logic.
@1tabligh Well, likewise in the case of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, their influence is growing. Affecting millions of young minds in the 80s, YouTube is now brimming with clips bringing forward his message. And you still have not answered my challenge of who'd win in an all out bitch-fight: He-Man or "Allahaha"?
BTW I heard that Mohammed was Allah's partner on earth or something and that he could ride a flying horse. Just so you know: He-man's battle cat has horses for lunch!
@Petrander If man, through the application of scientific instruments and criteria, cannot perceive the existence of a thing, he cannot deny its existence simply because it is incompatible with material criteria, unless he disposes of some proof that the thing in question is impossible.
@1tabligh Well, then how can YOU deny the power of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!? There are many who believe that he, together with She-Ra and Man-at-arms conjured up the world as we know it. Unless and until you have actually visited Castle Grayskull and tested his strength, how can you deny that your Allah must be a sissy compared to him? And I tell you another thing: At least He-Man wasn't a pedophile like Mohammed. Okay, perhaps he was gay. But, hey, who am I to judge? Or you?
@Petrander We discover the existence of an objective law from within the totality of phenomena that it is capable of interpreting. If, then, the establishment of scientific truth is possible only by means of direct sensation, the majority of scientific truths will have to be discarded, since many scientific facts cannot be perceived by means of sensory experience or testing.
@1tabligh Dude, it's really quite simple: If you're just gonna ignore my arguments and talk gibberish back, so will I. And as long as we're not restricted to only accepting as fact, statements that actually can be supported by evidence, I will repeat my assertion that He-Man totally outmachoes this "Allah" idol that you are worshipping. You cannot disprove that, because you will need to find proof for it first! HAHA! So where's your proof of Allah at least having a battle cat or something.
@Petrander Before he enters the realm of science and knowledge with all its concerns, man is able to perceive certain truths by means of these innate perceptions. But after entering the sphere of science and philosophy and filling his *brain* with various proofs and deductions, he may forget his natural and innate perceptions or begin to doubt them. It is for this reason that when man moves beyond his innate nature to delineate a belief, differences begin to appear.
@1tabligh Or perhaps you have never heard of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe? And you call *me* ignorant? Don't you know that this was revealed interdimensionally from the orb in Castle Grayskull to Mattel designer Roger Sweet in 1980? To spread the good message of He-Man among a young audience, he then created the cartoon series and merchandise.
Verily, those who are ignorant of these truths could just as well throw themselves into the arms of Skeletor and his evil minions!
@Elune137 das ist kool ! ...then i´ll meet you and the meat there.
Maybe ahead of time we´d better take time to make a deposit in a compound interest bank account so by the time we get to Magrathea we´ll have enough money to pay for the fabulously rich cost of it all...
We´ll speak again another time, because now it´s way past my bed time
@ksmoker27 Well, my first thought is that you've gone from the general to the specific. Plus, if you're talking about a particular definition of God (Aquinas' definition, for instance), then there are not a thousand ways in which God can exist. There's only one way, in fact. What think ye? Make sense?
@misterdeity You might be right. I kinda suspect that there is problems with this way of assessing probabilities, but haven't put my finger on it yet. Feels a little bit like Anselm's ontological argument to me--like we're taking things or entities which we can conceive of in our heads and thinking that they have any bearing on what really does or can or might exist.
@ksmoker27 Right. But that's why it works with the Universe and not with God (at least I think). The Universe is not something of which we conceive but don't have any empirical evidence. God is exactly that.
Nothingness, too, is something of which we can "conceive" (or at least imagine we can conceive), but once again have no empirical evidence -- even before the big bang.
@misterdeity I like that. That’s a great point and an important distinction—positing the existence of known entities is definitely far more intellectually responsible than positing the existence of entities for which we have no evidence (are you about to break out Russell’s teapot on me? :) ), and so maybe, as you say, the argument works when talking about the universe (something we know does and can exist) vs. when talking about God (something we don’t know exists or even can exist).
@ksmoker27 I also like the idea of thinking about “nothingness” as something for which we have no evidence (or, perhaps, as something we cannot say, with any empirical evidence to back it up, at least, is even possible).
@ksmoker27 Actually, the argument works (sort of*) because we know there is something (us, the planets, stars, etc., or even just yourself if you're a solopsist) as opposed to nothing. We do not know if a god, or gods, exists. (Additionally, as Mr. Deity pointed out, you need to first have a definition of god.)
*I will grant, however, that the argument is not great without first having the presumption that something does indeed exist.
But if you follow the line of reasoning that "there are an infinite number of ways in which something could exist, but there's only one way in which nothing could exist, therefore it is likely that God exists"
Then you would have to conclude that EVERYTHING that could possibly exist, does exist. (unicorns, fairys, ghosts, and such) So that argument fails.
That was genius. Wish I wrote it. But then I wouldn't have seen it. So to have seen something i wanted to have written, i actually didn't need to write it; that way i can see it, but not write it. Glad you took care of that for me.
this whole conversation has me confused, it's still great though. it did lead me to the bible in Hebrew where Genesis starts with the word Beresheat, which doesn't have an exact equivalent in English that I can think of. thing is, the word is far more finite than "in the begining" as that can be construed as start of creation, the Hebrew word actually indicates nothing before that, Beresheat is the start of everything. essentialy what's going on is: God just popped into existance for no reason
@Arday60 Actually... according to my Oxford translation, even the bible doesn't state creation "ex nihlo" it's more of an order out of chaos type creation. This everything out of nothing is just a neat little stance that apologists who don't understand the book they worship like to take. As is usual, they're wrong even about their own book
@Samuria11 to my knowledge modern Old Testament books in Israel are based as much as possible on the Dead Sea Scrolls. so assuming this particular passage was found (which is likely, the condition they were found in was very good) then it's an "ex nihlo" as the Hebrew would indicate. also, the word in Hebrew is Bara when he creates something and has the meaning of creating "ex nihlo". as the modern Hebrew version is closer to the original language and text they are likely more accurate.
@Arday60 I'll have to take you word on them using the dead sea scrolls as I'm not sure of that. But as for the creation myth, apparently Genesis 1:1-3 is one sentence. When it's read like that you can see that is wasn't a creation ex-nihlo.
Well you could rewrite your all knowingness cutoff to not know anything about anything so that you THINK your creating everything from nothing because you don't know that there is something. You could also create a cosmic clock that doesn't work and then have Timmy fix it and call that time. So, in other words, you could have a nothing within everything turn into everything so that the people know nothing about everything that isn't something that was nothing- gaaa, I give up
For nothingness to exists, an absolute lack of something is a requisite. But if Deity, Larry, Timmy and R&D already existed, how can the state of a void be created since they are already something.
@misterdeity It is indeed - an unsolvable and yet inextricable mystery. I suppose "Mr Deity and the Void" is meant to help to resolve the problem a little.
@misterdeity I know that... it's just a theory... I guess I mean to say that in order for something to be infinite it seems logical it would be circular or spherical if you were to define it as a shape... of course it's beyond our capacity to experience time in that way. We are in time, so we cannot ever view time from the outside, but it seems logical that time might look like a sphere when viewed from the outside.
@misterdeity "4 dimensional closed manifold" is the jargon i think - but yes, a finite unbounded system, can be imagined as the surface of a sphere but in more dimensions..
@MaxwellsDaemon I used to be a finite unbounded system. Just look at me in season one of Mr. Deity (EP 4). You have to cut the carbs. And thanks for the info. I thought there was a term for it.
Time an illusion? Hmm what ever happened to atomic moments? The brief phase of immobility in which during this 1/64,000th of a second all cosmic action stops. Each moment is separated by quantom leap, in which the next atomic moment begins a new phase of existence. Am I wrong in believing this is the single smallest unit of time? To our eyes which process things at about 20 frames per second (actually more but its simplified by our brains) motion seems continuous.
Boy, you nailed it. Those are probably to two biggest influences, and obviously my timing and delivery are complete rip-offs of their amazing skills. I also love Groucho, Bob Hope, Alan Alda, Mary Tyler Moore, and the entire Python group (and John Cleese in particular). Today, the comedy God I worship most and with the greatest frequency is Ricky Gervais.
REALLY! OK, maybe I shouldn't compare because yours is so far into the future. My husband (I am a widow) loved you and still does (he told me so) because he thinks anything that makes me laugh so hard in this time of transformation is a good thing! Keep up the great work! Know any intelligent beings in my neck of the neighborhood? I am a free Being, ahh, but I'm not cheap, no fishes and loaves, thank you!
Best bit since Louise & Costello's "Who's on first, What's on second and I don't know is on third. This one and the Let there be Light episode are the best!
i need to start watching Mr. Diety sitting down on the futons so i don't hurt myself falling off my chair. or sitting on the toilet. New all-time favorite!
Plus, you don't need a perscription for laughter. That means the FDA doesn't have any control over it. Imagine what it would mean if the FDA did have control over it, so let's keep laughter over the counter.
Once when I was late to work, I tried to sell that illusion thing. Very few people get that. But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it (as CQ used to say).
hey...imma send u some cash..i gotta have this continue...sir..its great....we need more religulous things such as this...im workin on my own...be on the look out for it
@misterdeity i don't know, why are you not surprise...d?
but seriously, your earlier shows were funnier, this one just seems to stick to one bad joke and replays it over and over again. I suppose my main compliant is that this video isn't subtle. you need more subtly
This is probably my favourite episode so far.

@Petrander Some people try to propagate this *fantasy* in the garb of science and to present their choice as having been dictated by scientific thought. In the final analysis, however, the denial involved in such an assertion is unworthy of science and philosophy, and even *contradicts* empirical logic.

@Petrander When the experimental sciences demonstrate that the elements and natural facrtors cannot exert any independent influence and do not possess any creativity; when all of our experiences, our sensory feelings, and our rational deductions point to the conclusion that nothing occurs in nature without a reason and cause and that all phenomena are based on an established system and specific laws, when all of this is the case, it is surprising that some people turn their backs on

@Petrander scientific principles, primary deductions and propositions based on reflection, and deny the existence of the Creator.
Now, too, in the age of science and technology, when man has found his way into space, a considerable number of scientists have a religious outlook as part of the intellectual system; they have come to believe in the existence of a creator, a source for all beings, not only by means of the heart and the conscience, but also through deduction and logic.

@1tabligh Well, likewise in the case of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, their influence is growing. Affecting millions of young minds in the 80s, YouTube is now brimming with clips bringing forward his message. And you still have not answered my challenge of who'd win in an all out bitch-fight: He-Man or "Allahaha"?
BTW I heard that Mohammed was Allah's partner on earth or something and that he could ride a flying horse. Just so you know: He-man's battle cat has horses for lunch!

@Petrander If man, through the application of scientific instruments and criteria, cannot perceive the existence of a thing, he cannot deny its existence simply because it is incompatible with material criteria, unless he disposes of some proof that the thing in question is impossible.
1tabligh 6 days ago
@1tabligh Well, then how can YOU deny the power of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!? There are many who believe that he, together with She-Ra and Man-at-arms conjured up the world as we know it. Unless and until you have actually visited Castle Grayskull and tested his strength, how can you deny that your Allah must be a sissy compared to him? And I tell you another thing: At least He-Man wasn't a pedophile like Mohammed. Okay, perhaps he was gay. But, hey, who am I to judge? Or you?
Petrander 6 days ago
@Petrander We discover the existence of an objective law from within the totality of phenomena that it is capable of interpreting. If, then, the establishment of scientific truth is possible only by means of direct sensation, the majority of scientific truths will have to be discarded, since many scientific facts cannot be perceived by means of sensory experience or testing.
1tabligh 6 days ago
@1tabligh Dude, it's really quite simple: If you're just gonna ignore my arguments and talk gibberish back, so will I. And as long as we're not restricted to only accepting as fact, statements that actually can be supported by evidence, I will repeat my assertion that He-Man totally outmachoes this "Allah" idol that you are worshipping. You cannot disprove that, because you will need to find proof for it first! HAHA! So where's your proof of Allah at least having a battle cat or something.
Petrander 3 days ago
@Petrander Before he enters the realm of science and knowledge with all its concerns, man is able to perceive certain truths by means of these innate perceptions. But after entering the sphere of science and philosophy and filling his *brain* with various proofs and deductions, he may forget his natural and innate perceptions or begin to doubt them. It is for this reason that when man moves beyond his innate nature to delineate a belief, differences begin to appear.
1tabligh 3 days ago
@1tabligh Or perhaps you have never heard of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe? And you call *me* ignorant? Don't you know that this was revealed interdimensionally from the orb in Castle Grayskull to Mattel designer Roger Sweet in 1980? To spread the good message of He-Man among a young audience, he then created the cartoon series and merchandise.
Verily, those who are ignorant of these truths could just as well throw themselves into the arms of Skeletor and his evil minions!
Petrander 1 week ago
So it's either:
All things originate from some willing being (something-from-nothing).
Or there is an infinite regress with an inherent quanta (something-always-has-been).
Something-from-nothing assumes how, but is illogical.
Something-always-has-been is logical, but does not assume how.
So either "choose" to be logical, or not.

Timmy: "Plus, we don't actually know if nothingness is even possible. It's certainly not probable."
Mr Deity: "Well, why, because...?"
Timmy: "Because there are an infinite number of ways in which something can exist, but there's really only one way in which nothing can exist."
I'm not sure about that argument. Consider the following:
"There’s a thousand ways in which God could exist, but only one way in which God cannot exist, therefore it is more likely than not that God exists."
ksmoker27 1 year ago
@ksmoker27 Well, my first thought is that you've gone from the general to the specific. Plus, if you're talking about a particular definition of God (Aquinas' definition, for instance), then there are not a thousand ways in which God can exist. There's only one way, in fact. What think ye? Make sense?
misterdeity 1 year ago
@misterdeity You might be right. I kinda suspect that there is problems with this way of assessing probabilities, but haven't put my finger on it yet. Feels a little bit like Anselm's ontological argument to me--like we're taking things or entities which we can conceive of in our heads and thinking that they have any bearing on what really does or can or might exist.
Thanks for the response, and love the show!
ksmoker27 1 year ago
@ksmoker27 Right. But that's why it works with the Universe and not with God (at least I think). The Universe is not something of which we conceive but don't have any empirical evidence. God is exactly that.
Nothingness, too, is something of which we can "conceive" (or at least imagine we can conceive), but once again have no empirical evidence -- even before the big bang.
misterdeity 1 year ago
@misterdeity I like that. That’s a great point and an important distinction—positing the existence of known entities is definitely far more intellectually responsible than positing the existence of entities for which we have no evidence (are you about to break out Russell’s teapot on me? :) ), and so maybe, as you say, the argument works when talking about the universe (something we know does and can exist) vs. when talking about God (something we don’t know exists or even can exist).
ksmoker27 1 year ago
@ksmoker27 I also like the idea of thinking about “nothingness” as something for which we have no evidence (or, perhaps, as something we cannot say, with any empirical evidence to back it up, at least, is even possible).
ksmoker27 1 year ago
@ksmoker27 Actually, the argument works (sort of*) because we know there is something (us, the planets, stars, etc., or even just yourself if you're a solopsist) as opposed to nothing. We do not know if a god, or gods, exists. (Additionally, as Mr. Deity pointed out, you need to first have a definition of god.)
*I will grant, however, that the argument is not great without first having the presumption that something does indeed exist.
AtheisticLiberator 1 year ago
@ksmoker27
But if you follow the line of reasoning that "there are an infinite number of ways in which something could exist, but there's only one way in which nothing could exist, therefore it is likely that God exists"
Then you would have to conclude that EVERYTHING that could possibly exist, does exist. (unicorns, fairys, ghosts, and such) So that argument fails.

this whole conversation has me confused, it's still great though. it did lead me to the bible in Hebrew where Genesis starts with the word Beresheat, which doesn't have an exact equivalent in English that I can think of. thing is, the word is far more finite than "in the begining" as that can be construed as start of creation, the Hebrew word actually indicates nothing before that, Beresheat is the start of everything. essentialy what's going on is: God just popped into existance for no reason
Arday60 1 year ago
@Arday60 Actually... according to my Oxford translation, even the bible doesn't state creation "ex nihlo" it's more of an order out of chaos type creation. This everything out of nothing is just a neat little stance that apologists who don't understand the book they worship like to take. As is usual, they're wrong even about their own book
Samuria11 1 year ago
@Samuria11 to my knowledge modern Old Testament books in Israel are based as much as possible on the Dead Sea Scrolls. so assuming this particular passage was found (which is likely, the condition they were found in was very good) then it's an "ex nihlo" as the Hebrew would indicate. also, the word in Hebrew is Bara when he creates something and has the meaning of creating "ex nihlo". as the modern Hebrew version is closer to the original language and text they are likely more accurate.
Arday60 1 year ago
@Arday60 I'll have to take you word on them using the dead sea scrolls as I'm not sure of that. But as for the creation myth, apparently Genesis 1:1-3 is one sentence. When it's read like that you can see that is wasn't a creation ex-nihlo.
Samuria11 1 year ago
Well you could rewrite your all knowingness cutoff to not know anything about anything so that you THINK your creating everything from nothing because you don't know that there is something. You could also create a cosmic clock that doesn't work and then have Timmy fix it and call that time. So, in other words, you could have a nothing within everything turn into everything so that the people know nothing about everything that isn't something that was nothing- gaaa, I give up

For nothingness to exists, an absolute lack of something is a requisite. But if Deity, Larry, Timmy and R&D already existed, how can the state of a void be created since they are already something.

@misterdeity I know that... it's just a theory... I guess I mean to say that in order for something to be infinite it seems logical it would be circular or spherical if you were to define it as a shape... of course it's beyond our capacity to experience time in that way. We are in time, so we cannot ever view time from the outside, but it seems logical that time might look like a sphere when viewed from the outside.

Time an illusion? Hmm what ever happened to atomic moments? The brief phase of immobility in which during this 1/64,000th of a second all cosmic action stops. Each moment is separated by quantom leap, in which the next atomic moment begins a new phase of existence. Am I wrong in believing this is the single smallest unit of time? To our eyes which process things at about 20 frames per second (actually more but its simplified by our brains) motion seems continuous.
