Thanks, Professor. You musings about God having a mother using logical consistencies is similar to what mathematical biologist and author, Clifford Pickover does frequently in his books, both fact and fiction. Perhaps God's Mother was a Boltzmann Brain? Ah! Another mystery infused with a mystery.
Mitch My liking that God has a Mother should not be taken too much seriously, and is related to my liking attributing the feminine to even numbers, and a the masculine to the odd numbers, and then it is a remind that the one (1) is enclosed by the most terrible female in the arithmetical platonia, the number 0 (death, annihilation, nothing), and 2 (life, division, separation, distinction, creation). We tend to believe that God is male, because we forget that the ONE came from the ZERO (by the successor operation of course). :) Bruno -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Marchal <marc...@ulb.ac.be> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sun, Apr 20, 2014 2:20 pm Subject: Re: cannabis, cancer and mechanism, and climate.

I didn't capture this in your recent book. OK. I might give a longer response some day, but I have to go and will just refer to both the sane paper (easily accessible, and it contains both UDA and AUDA), and the relation with (neoplatonist) theology is in the plotinus paper (pdf) http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/publications/SANE2004MARCHALAbstract.html (HTML) + http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/publications/CiE2007/SIENA.pdf (PDF).

Apparently in comp God might have a Mother, and it has to be a Goddess, but take this with the usual amount of grain salts :) -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Marchal <marc...@ulb.ac.be> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sun, Apr 20, 2014 7:40 am Subject: Re: cannabis, cancer and mechanism, and climate.

The one that you truly believe in, based upon all the study and contemplation you can put in. Not bet upon any arbitrarily, rather search and find faith. To me, god is a non-answer. Where did god come from? Good question. Apparently in comp God might have a Mother, and it has to be a Goddess, but take this with the usual amount of grain salts :) But God, nor his Mother, should ever be considered as an answer. As answer that is the usual authoritative "don't ask, don't search" attitude, i.e. the God of the gap, maintained by those who want you to believe in their view on reality, and prevent you to search and question them. God is not an answer, nor a justification for any act, even the most good one. At least not in any public way. Bruno So far the only ontologies that don't seem to merely push the question back a step are ones like Bruno's comp, Russell's "theory of nothing" or Max Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
