God: No magic required

April 1, 2014 at 3:22 pm (This post was last modified: April 1, 2014 at 3:24 pm by Rampant.A.I..)

This is the ultimate form of the God of The Gaps argument. And relies on pure hypotheticals:

Quote:A Boltzmann brain is a hypothesized self aware entity which arises due to random fluctuations out of a state of chaos. The idea is named for the physicist Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906), who advanced an idea that the universe is observed to be in a highly improbable non-equilibrium state because only when such states randomly occur can brains exist to be aware of the universe.
