Why Would God Hide?

[Chas]

Indeed my secret must be so closely guarded that even I haven't got the faintest clue what you're dribbling about.

No change there, then.

well hypothetically let say mid-way thru the universe’s timeline around 6 bya, nothing but rocks, then suddenly there was a thought. From a naturalistic point of view that would seem to be the highlight moment so far. Just what was that thought (speculation) or is the secret still secured ?

That doesn't even make sense. Consciousness is a property of brains, and brains are a product of evolution.

Okay snowy, let's try something.

According to xtianity, there was supposedly nothing but void for quadrillions of years. Then one day for no reason at all, this void decided to grow a brain, turn into a god and start thinking about making a universe. How did this brain survive long enough in the void to evolve into a god and where did it get its god powers from?

If you can't answer, then clearly the question is a stumper.

Scientific knowledge is possible only within the 4 dimensions of our space-time-matter-energy universe which began 13 bya. Before that or what the universe is expanding into is non-dimensional of which there is no knowledge except through revelation. So, there no void or zillions of years before; void = space, and years = time. Everything within this universe is subject to the laws and dimensions and is constrained by a single dimension of time, where time cannot be stopped or reversed, and as such must have a beginning. If God is the causal agent that brought the universe into existence, He is not constrained or controlled by the cosmic timeline; hence, doesn’t require a beginning. Also, His capabilities are at least ∞^7 greater than any entity or the universe itself that's ushered along the universe’s one timeline.

"of which there is no knowledge except through revelation"
Congratulations. That may be the first reasonably accurate claim you've made.

Except you need to replace 'revelation' with 'imagination'. Revelation, like faith, is entirely inside your head.
