Below, I'm paraphrasing from memory a couple of passages:
On the subject of the persecution of the 'Bani Israel' Children of
Israel by Pharoah, such that the male children were being killed and
females kept alive, It reads that it was a great trial from God.
At another place, it reads that know that whatever happens to you,
good or bad, it is all inscribed in a decree before we bring it
into existence. This is so that you do not despair of whatever
passes you by, nor exult over ...
There is a lot going on all over the world that one would like to
wish away, but it helps to understand that all things / events /
circumstances are trials, temporary and transient. In this life,
nothing is a reward or punishment, rather everything is a trial, and
an opportunity to do good deeds through helping those in need.
Reward and Punishment are concepts associated with the Hereafter,
and are of a permanent nature.
I can make sense, but in the machine's theory, some truth there need
to remain silent, as they will look like nonsense for some people. It
is of the type "only going without saying".
No, he didn't say "Oops!", God exhorts us to reflect and ponder!
Are you open to doubt your theory? Or some points in your theory?
If not it means you stay connected to the incommunicable part, and you
take the risk of saying to much, and fuel disbelief, even and
especially when not wrong.
And, btw, what is your position on computationalism, because this is
an hypothesis shared by many here (if only for the sake of the
argument). Would you accept that you or some friend get an artificial
digital brain? Have you think about this question? Have you an idea of
the consequence for consciousness and physical realities, and for the
possible theologies?
I don't defend the idea that comp is true, but comp makes possible to
use computer science and mathematics to formulate the questions, and
put some light around.

Well, for the Mandelbrot sets zooms, I hope you can access a bigger
computer with a larger screen.
