I just mean that I don't see how that is possible because its totally absurd and very complex and improbable indeed.
How could something be simple but be capable of doing all the things something really complex could? MAN that's complexity.
That's like you being equally as intelligent and able to function if you only had ONE brain cell in your brain.
Or the omnipotent crazy God of the OT - doing all that shit in the bible when he was nothing but a minute simple particle!
Ultimately simple but infinitely complex? Capable of doing all that when you're that simple? That's confusing - but I'd say - THAT'S COMPLEXITY. How the hell would that work?
Oh - and being fully conscious and omnipotent makes something very complex because that would be very very very improbable indeed to come about by chance. At least that's the way I understand it.
Just as the human eye is very, very, VERY unlikely to suddenly POP right into existence just by utter chance. It had to evolve very gradually indeed; over a massive period of time.
