Re: An invisible fuzzy amoral mindless blob, aka God
I am wondering if that is not straight out of Carl Jung? Years ago Italian, physicist Paula Zizzi wrote a few papers on cosmological networks. Also, what it really proves to be, and what we 'want' it to be. In another forum, I presented an essay by physicist, Sean Carroll (happy atheist), and it's paralleling, computer scientist, Ed Fredkin, on physical laws or actions descending from an area beyond the physical universe. Known, from Fredkin, as "Fredkin's Other." and known from Carroll, as "Conscious Agents." On the other hand, Torgny, it may have zero to do with your unconscious. -Original Message- From: Torgny TholerusTo: everything-list Cc: John Clark Sent: Sun, Dec 25, 2016 3:40 am Subject: Re: An invisible fuzzy amoral mindless blob, aka God 2016-12-25 03:07 skrev John Clark: > On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 9:56 AM, Bruno Marchal > wrote: > >>> >> usage says that "God" means an immortal person with >>> supernatural power who wants, and deserves, to be worshipped. > >> > >> > That's the Christian use >> .
