I'm going to repeat this for the 3rd time on this thread: Minds are a property of brains. Until you can demonstrate the brain of the universe, there's no reason to posit a mind, let alone the possibility that mind can control matter.
What you're doing is assuming that minds can be separate from brains with no evidence to support this assumption. You then claim that minds can control matter, also without any evidence. Extending these assumptions to fit your description of god, the existence of whom you also have no evidence for, takes your claims to ridiculous extremes.
Until you can provide evidence, your position amounts to nothing more than baseless assertion based on unevidenced assumptions.
You never though about it, Rik, did you?![]()

Ben, you may be guilty of argumentum untilurblueintheface, but no one has told Rik more plainly what he needs to hear. If only he could separate out his personal fantasy life from the marketplace of interpersonal ideas. Or better yet, write a comic book. Then he could share his ideas in a setting that didn't just beg for evidence.
