Musing on the Divine

[aussiedave]

Okay, so premise: a god (or gods) exist.
Pipe down at the back, atheists. This is a mental excercise.

Second premise. One religious model of the universe from the Earth's history has been correct in all particulars.

Third premise. Only one religious model of the universe to date has been correct

My personal favourite was the ontological proof: if God is perfect then He must exist, since nonexistence would be an imperfection. Awesome.

I'm going to jump across to your LJ in a minute. Hope you and Roj are well.

'Fraid not. I believe you and Sophie will be representing the Jhereg at that particular party. Sure you'll be elegant ambassadors.

You coming to the Jhereg Event?

[aussiedave]

Good, yeah. Very busy. Not much time for LJ, I'm afraid. :)

How's you?

Branches

How about a branching universe theory where what you personally believe causes a branch in the universe to ensure that you personal view of god is the one that applies ?

Well, absolutely. Or a Gaimanesque/Pratchettesque mess where *all* the gods coexist with no regards to logic. The sun is Phaetos' burning chariot *and* is being rolled across the sky by a colossal dung beetle.

But the question wasn't about what you or I think the absolute truth is. It was a thought about what the appropriate course of action would be if the hypothesis were right.

How you doing anyway, son? Haven't heard from you in a bit. Roke keeping you chained to your desk?
