Suppose God created a universe, but completely removed himself from it and erased all traces of his existence.
- How closely would that universe mirror the one we live in (assuming we live in an anomalous universe)?
- Could you ever tell the difference between the two?
- What would be different?
- What would cause one of the subsequent creations to acknowledge his existence despite observing no evidence thereof?
- If you were him, would you ever break your silence to confirm your creation’s beliefs?
- Is that what happens at death?
- What would drive God to create such a universe?
Suppose God created a universe and left a wide variety of evidence of his existence.
- How closely would that universe mirror the one we live in (assuming we live in a God-created universe)?
- Could you ever tell the difference between the two?
- What would be different?
- What would cause one of the creations to deny his existence despite observing evidence thereof?
- If you were him, would you ever break your silence to disprove your creation’s beliefs?
- Is that what happens at death?
- What would drive God to create such a universe?
Suppose the universe came into existence on its own.
- How closely would that universe mirror the one we live in (assuming we live in a anomalous universe)?
- Could you ever tell the difference between the two?
- What would be different?
- What would cause one of the subsequent creations to believe in the existence of God despite observing no evidence thereof?
- Could this universe ever become capable of creating other universes?
- Would those creators become Gods?
- Has this already happened?
