I am the living Universe (please discuss)

[emanon]

Basically this is my theory.

I created this Universe and everything else using a source of infinite energy called Brian.

Brain exists outside space-time and so eventually evolves into a higher life-form made up of all of energy.

Please discuss...

So you're the one responsible... I want to lodge a few complaints about quality control. Just because you are so high and mighty doesn't mean you should just ignore the little folks! Either cough up some serious home improvements or I'm going to start a new religion with you on the bottom of the social ladder as a slum lord!

An advanced stage of the Messiah Complex, you are just schizophrenic

A while ago I found a white rock, I declared it God. It was very powerful and I attributed every good thing in the world to it. It did not eat, drink, or sleep. It was God...I threw it down and broke it.

Well, while I could take the road that others have taken here, I'm not going to point out the seemingly egotistical nature of this idea. I'm just going to ask you how something could possibly exist "outside of space-time". Think about it, "outside" denotes a position, and position is judged according to the spacetime dimensions.

 

[emanon]

Everyone's a critic...

Well really. I was Scizophrenic DSR a few years back, and that is how I worked it all out. Well actually it does not have to be me personally, but maybe me, or some other monkey did create the Universe from infinite energy?

If you watch star trek then it is not that difficult to imagine, given an infinite amount of time and energy, I am sure something could be created to get the job done.

Then all you need to access that 'something'.

Example:
Computer: Tea Earl grey.


Or maybe it was
One Universe, expanding without end...

You really don't see that there is nothing at the end of infinity, and that there is in fact no end to infinity (which rules out acting on an idea that would take infinite time)?

This is too sloppy defined to be called a 'theory'.

Hmmm. Well at least you have humour, this theory about life of Brian...

I just want to know two things; is Brian the name of the Brain, and, do you know the Mind?

 

[emanon]

Proof?

Well surely you are living proof that Brian (the living Universe) exists, unless of course you are telling me that you do not exist. In which case I am wasting my time replying to your question.


Brian is the living Universe, as I just said, made up of the sum of all living organisms over all time. You have seen the infinity symbol used in maths in such cases, I am sure.

Now imagine a way of looking at Brian outside time.

Do you get my drift?
Or am I dealing with high school sheep only?
Bah-bah...I am just kidding...you are goats aren't you?

I know things you don't; therefore you have it backwards.
Thus: I created this Universe and everything else using a source of infinite energy called Ivan. QED

 

[emanon]

You would need to explain further, but I can assure you that his name is Brian. Maybe you created a parallel Universe by mistake?

You are all wrong. My parrot created God(s), all universes and some of souls, Adams and Eves, and Pepsi-Cola. He did that when he accidentally swallowed infinite space-time vacuum from a white hole (parrot found this hole in my back door, about 2" from bottom of door).

Hehe, and the funniest part is, this makes just as much sense as religion!

I completely disagree...it makes far much more sense.

Alexander:
Again, your Universe is either a parallel Universe or else it collapsed.

It took me three attempts to create this one (Universe) so it is not surprising you lot are getting confused.

If you look at the energy signiture of a photon you will find my copyright mark embedded in it's quantum well.

However, to confirm this, you will first need to develop a way of measuring tiny discrepencies in the energy flow. currently the only system capable of doing this are brains.

Religion is a social club, I am only a member of the Automobile Association, so really, I do not join clubs, as a rule. Well apart from when I was at University, and then I was a club whore...

I enjoy your banta, it is quite interesting. Although the alternate Universe theory is a little iffy.

Let me just add that when I say, 'I' created the Universe, I mean to say that I started it off. It sort of creates itself, you just need to initialise it.

It is no different from fertalising an egg in that sense.

I am a proud father...

Although Einstien appears to have allowed you monkeys to tear it's fabric using FISSION, which is an infinite reaction and so will, over time destroy my baby, so really I am quite sad and annoyed with you lot.

Some theists, observing that all 'effects' need a cause, assert that God is a cause but not an effect. But no one has ever observed an uncaused cause and simply inventing one merely assumes what the argument wishes to prove.

It's been awhile since algebra. Please tell me what the "parts" of an equation are called. I know they are not "elements" of an equation...but what ARE they called?

I want to know so that I can frame a simple question properly. Thanks.

And yet what if our essence (soul) lived on unto Eternity? Then wouldn't that imply there was an Eternal Creator (in essence) who created us?

Not necessarily. It could mean that the Universe ITSELF has a "Spirit"... of which OURS is a part (if, indeed, "spirit" exists). (See PM)

The same problem exists with or without a creator. Since we are here, it would seem that one way or the other the problem is moot.

Physicists say twelve dimensional superduperhypersurface;
Theologians say God. What's in a name?

now now . I only meant that one way or the other, the problem appears to have a solution. The paradox of who created God, which by the definition of God is no one, is supported in kind by the problem of where everything came from; even without a God?

That works also.

 

[emanon]

And who created the "Creator"?

This is a little difficult to explain but I will use a mathematical shape to help you get the idea.

Imagine an infinite mobiastrip.

This is effectively what moving outside space time looks like, mathematically.

You get to see all points on the strip, which itself is continuous. There is no start of 'creation'. Just infinite time.

I hope that helps.

Which is why I say that "God" as an external entity is EXTRANEOUS to the equation. If the Universe ITSELF is eternal then It doesn't need a "creator".

AND , if the Universe is actually "a living, conscious Entity that's responsive to all of Its parts"...then the EXTERNAL "God" would ALSO be "out of a job"!

Now, I'm NOT saying that the Universe is (or MAY be) "God"...the al-knowing, all-seeing "Creator". I am saying that the Universe MAY BE "an eternal Entity of energy" with NATURAL FORCES and INGREDIENTS in Its "closed" (tho expanding and contracting), cause and effect SYSTEM!

As to "why" we "should" be discussing such things: perhaps the Universe gives rise to sentient beings for this very purpose...to understand ITSELF.

Who knows?

 

[emanon]

Historically the energy, or life giver is given the position of God.

But I never mentioned any God(s) because I do not believe in them/it.

The Universe was born from Brian Brane, the infinite energy source. There maybe other things like Brian but it is unlikely that they will ever be detected, but there cannot be ruled out.

Natural forces? Well the forces that exist in this Universe allow it to expand indefinitely, IMO. Other Natural Forces would create a different environment.

My view of the Universe is that all the matter expands in all directions. Gravity is the effect of clumps of matter retarding space. See The Dilber Future by Scott Adams for a laymans view on this theory.

If my premise is correct -- that the Universe is a living, conscious Entity -- AND, if "spirit" exists as well, then, yes, it would be "within" every part of the Entity...just as I say consciousness may be.

But if the Universe has a "spiritual" component (in addition to physical and mental), do we have to call the aggregate of the spiritual "substance" "God"?

"God" is a loaded word...with all sorts of suppositions and embellishments "weighing it down" (for me).

Why not just call the Universe a living, conscious and SPIRITUAL Being that EVOLVING with -- and through -- the rest of us (and everything else ). Instead of "praying"...why not just "communicate"? Instead of "worshipping"...why not just "appreciate"?

Why do we, as a species, overdo the "hero worship", becoming transfixed on personalities, stories and rituals that, IMO, distract from our "relationship" with our "Source"? Any clues?

But that was my point . If the Universe is "eternal" then It doesn't need a "creator"...and adding "God" doesn't solve the problem of "creation"... it (the concept) just adds another layer.

The within of the without is "the life," it is the spirit, it is the essence and, it is conscious(ness).

The reason why God might appear to be the "Great Outsider" is due to our "external perception," for which reason we fail to realize that God "resides within," the within of everything, even the within which is without (i.e., our range of external perception).

In other words, if we weren't so caught up in our "external existence," we would realize that God does not reside without, but within, in which case God becomes the "Great Insider."

As for this hero worship thing, I think it's due to a lack of maturity, or perhaps a sense of having no control (hence certainty) over one's life. Neither do I think we need to put people up on pedestals, even God Himself! ... as God is not looking for sycophants.

We know the origin of a child, we know the reasoning behind the formations of celestial bodies (some of them). Why propose that the universe exists in a finite time, and it has something created it which is infinite?

You're just adding more onto the equation because you can't yet solve it in it's simplistic form!

THIS UNIVERSE may or may not be finite. Remember the universe is not (any longer) considered to be everything...

A universe is now properly definied as the entirity of a closed system.

There can and most likely is more than one universe. There is no reasoning behind there being only one.

The term universe has been redefinied, and also the term infinite might need to be. One universe (a closed system) can be inifinite, yet we could still have more than one infinite if we need to change the term to work without multiverse concepts.


So saying (by itself) that the universe must have had a creator defies rationality. You've solved how the universe came, but now you need to solve why God came.

And furthermore, any answers you give to solve the God problem could just as likely solve the Universe problem and eliminate God.

 

[Duom02]

God is merly a metaphore my friend not to be taken so seriously... Most refer to her these days but are more or less meaning the reason for creation... don't pick at peoples indvidual words so much...

 

[RSM1000]

God is merely a metaphor?

Would the world agree? I doubt it.

If one is going to use a word to mean something other than what's widely accepted, one needs to let others know.

Just like your new big bang theory, you didn't tell anyone it was your theory, and thus it looks to us as if it's wrong.

Unless defined, I'll assume God as being God!

 

[Duom02]

*Cough* That theory was in the THEORY DEVELOPMENT forum if you look in the theorteical physics section and click the sticky for new posters you will see that you put your own theories in theory development now let that sink in for a minute.

Now as to the god being a metaphor most literary anylists agree that most religion including god isn't meant to be taken at face value. For example adam and eve eating the apple, Now was that about them eating an apple or having sex. if you ask most people around the world they say an apple but then you inquire more and they'll figure out what it really meant. Now if you were discussing this on any other form i wouldn't jump to god being a metaphor but this is meant to be a detailed discussion which you can't seem to handle. Most people around the world don't know much about algebra 1 but they do here as do many seem to think god is at least partially a metaphor.
