Are any of those planets really more or less improbable than a dragon planet, since we're positing the existence of planets on the other side of the universe where human fiction miraculously accords with reality?
Should a person have to know about them to know..in effect, anything (as this example can be repeated with absolutely any proposition)?
While we're on the subject of the universe..and things on the other side of it. Could anything actually be omniscient if it didn't know what was happening right here on this side of the universe, right now? Seems like it's "knowledge engine" whatever that is..would have to move quite a bit faster than the speed of light to inform it of what I'm thinking right here..if it was on the other side of the universe (in addition to being able to read my mind...ofc). Anywhoo, these are the continuity errors that keep me, personally, giggling about gods.
Uh, what? I specifically said the gods we know of as described in religions. There can’t just be a Thor planet and then it makes all the shit they say happened true. We literally live in the planet where they say this shit happened. We can investigate.
