God's existence--A different approach
#21
Eos Wrote:You're wrong again, because in your example attempt the world you created was in fact a subset of your own.

You can't create something too alien because you simply haven't got a frame of reference to begin to do so with.
You're constrained to think of the physical laws of your own native universe as the building blocks available to you and would have to really, really try to come up with alternatives and keep it cohesive.

Go ahead, try to define an arbitrarily different reality, rather than one that makes minor modifications like 'people can fly'.

But I am not an infinitely powerful and intelligent god. Nor am I a nonsentient phenomenon in a reality with no disorder.
You are again assuming that the trigger, and its entire milieu, are so similar to a human in our world, that they are limited to what you feel is reasonable to expect of a human with super powers (or technology).

Consider the famous game of Life. Do you think the entities living in it could deduce anything at all about the programmers that made their world? Except for a certain familiarity with the concepts of "birth" "death" "crowding" and "loneliness", absolutely nothing. And what those concepts mean to the Life-entities is utterly different than what they mean to programmers. Actually it would be rather amusing to see what kind of "God" those entities would come up with.
