Stop me if you've heard this one before.
(If you have, please point me to the discussion? My search for "infinite random universe" yields mostly Hugh Ross, yecch.)
I invite comments on the following questions.
- Is the contention that the whole general mishmash is infinite and random, (including the universe, the multiverse and everything else) falsifiable?
- If not, then is it necessary that that contention forever be included as a possible Truth in any, including theistic, model of reality?
If localized sections of a random series will show apparent order, e.g. 0102030405, and larger sequences of random digits will show larger runs of such apparent order, wouldn't an infinite, though random, sequence, show large, up to infinite, sequences of apparent, though random, order?
My extrapolation considers a multi-dimensional volume whose sole defining parameters are:
- it is of actual infinite extent
- contains qualities which can exhibit what we see as ordered reality
- the values of those qualities are randomly distributed
Theists think too small.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
