When humans think about things, can they think about more than one thing at once? At the exact same moment?
Can a human even think that an apple is round AND green at the exact same time? Or does the sensation of green and round happen so tightly together in time that the connection is made very strongly?
Has there been any scientific study of this?
Because in my mind this brings some implications to Omnipotence/science.
The way I see it, we can apply this to everything.
When I look with my eyes, I notice I'm really only focusing on one thing at a time as well, I notice I can't really notice every object on this website at the same time, but rather I see for instance a smiley, then I see the white square I'm typing text in, remember those in short memory, then I see the text and so forth, but most importantly I notice that I sort of am not aware of the text, while being aware of the smiley.
I cannot hold them both in my head consistently at the same time.
You might call me crazy, or you might agree with me, but if I sit down and watch the blue smiley underneath this white text area, I can feel/consciously think about the sequence my brain goes though to process the shapes and colors and symbolism of the smiley, but never at the same time it seems.
So in regards to a creator/god, what would be the necessities in place for his consciousness to be able to process everything at once?
This is very difficult for me to express I feel, because thoughts of determinism, infinity, and infinite digress enters my mind, so I will just put up this thread and see what people say and maybe I'll get a coherent picture of what I'm trying to convey.
Have fun
