Samiya is doing abit of Dawa, which is propagating his faih. No problem with this, as long as we acknowledge it. Most here, seek to propagate atheism-which also, is considered tolerable by me. As to questions of creation, I would add Steinhart's 4 minute Youtube lecture on Conway's Life. Well worth watching indeed. Clarity, via math and computer science.

Even of God is an emergent process-mind, I would like for us to ask Him questions. Such as- 1. How did you come up with the idea for life? 2. What are we doing wrong, as a species, and can we do anything about it? 3. Do You need any help, assistance, from our specie? I am also good with Dawkin's god-like entities that may inhabit the universe. If God exists, as a mind, I have long, thought, Dawkin's would be a great interiewer, as he's a logical guy. Dawkins, I mean. On God, Himself, I have also long-wondered if God could have emergenced as a Boltzmann Brain (I think Hugo hates this!), perhaps, THE Boltzmann Brain, after an infinitude of time + space. If this Wiki doesn' sound like PFM (an electronics teacher once said) 'pure freak'in magic!," then I don't know what does? Here is a Plus Math's article 2013. https://plus.maths.org/content/dreaming-dream If we want to get deeper in the weeds, on this, there is a paper out a few years ago, by physicist Don Page that's a bit of fun "For God so loved the Multiverse.." -----Original Message----- From: Brent Meeker <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, Feb 2, 2016 2:31 am Subject: Re: Cryonics punched cards and the brain On 2/1/2016 10:54 PM, Samiya Illias wrote: > Yes, I'm indeed grateful to God for being born to Muslim parents which > did make it easier for me from my earliest years to experience Islam. Experiencing it is one thing. Believing it is another thing...a very sad thing that a child should have her head filled with tribal superstitions and her critical capacities stunted. Perhaps contemplating the number of Nobel prizes awarded to Jews and atheists compared to Muslims will help.
