Indeterminism in mathematics
#4
RE: Indeterminism in mathematics
I'm not an expert on Indeterminism but from what I've gathered through online research, it fits right into the definition of God. God is not created, He is not caused by anything. Isn't this what was meant when He said "I am the alpha and omega"? He just "is" as He told to Moses, "tell them I AM sent you".

In one of the articles I read that brought up "the butterfly effect", it only further describes how time does not apply to God. To God, the future is the present. The study talked about how as human beings we are not omniscient, meaning there is no way for us to have all the data to predict accurately the future. We may have enough data to make good guesses but not perfect, accurate predictions of the future. Thus, we move along on a timeline gathering such data. Whereas God, who is omniscient, has ALL the data, thus already knowing what's ahead, thus the future is no longer "future" but present. While we have to wait to get there.

Anyways, very philosophical stuff we're delving into here.
