A good reason not to believe in God
#10
RE: A good reason not to believe in God
(February 18, 2011 at 9:23 pm)theVOID Wrote: Essentially, the more information that exists in either scenario the lower the chance of it being true, in this circumstance both explanations either exist spontaneously or as a matter of brute fact - This places them on equal footing. Next you look at the amount of information required to describe the states of affairs demanded by each scenario, under naturalism you need very little information to describe a quantum fluctuation, some imbalance and a feedback loop, under the theistic scenario you require much more information to describe everything that is at t0 - Including the knowledge this deity possesses.

What if that "least amount of information" to describe everything IS God?

The information would be "omniscient" in a sense because it contains all the information about the state of the universe at t0. So, could that be a definition of omniscience?
