What God is to the Universe is what your mind is to your body

Yes. You insinuated that before the scientific theories behind electomagnetism were developed (initially by James Clerk Maxwell), it operated in a much different way than it does now. You are massively wrong on this, as discovery of how something works doesn't alter the way in which it works, it alters our understanding of how it works, changing our understanding from a false one to a true one. My point stands, you don't understand science, you don't understand reality.

Quote:Can you give me any plausible mechanism for how electromagnetism came into being out of the unified state during inflation?

Not being a cosmologist who studied the big bang (I'm trained in accounting, not in any of the sciences) I can't give you an explanation. But I'm sure a google search, or a half way decent science text book would give you one if you are curious*.

Quote:I didn't settle for "goddidit" I worked to find out exactly how. I'm will to bet my "how" has far more predictive and explanatory power than yours.

Well then why are all your posts an elaboration of the goddidit conjecture? Why else are you trying to denigrate science by strawmanning it? If you look like a theist, swim like a theist and quack like a theist, a reasonable assumption is that you're a theist.

Quote:That's nice dear, why don't you get off the internet and go play tea time dolls with her.

She doesn't play with dolls. She's more of a fan of hurling, and I can't hurl. I'd gladly play with her, but a) it's now past her bedtime and b) showing you up as the ignorant, illmannered buffoon that you are is much more fun.

Quote:So you agree, electromagnetism is a basic component of mind.

Not what I said and you know it. What I said is that any electromagnetic field or pulse (or other electromagnetic phenomenon) affects the brain in the same way as any other system which uses electrical impulses to operate. Anyway, how would the brain being electomagnetic help your goddidit conjecture, prey?

*I doubt it says Croker. You strike me as the kind of idiot who falls for the first glib talking snake oil salesman who then proceeds to scream blue murder at everybody who points out that that chancer just emptied his bank account.
