(March 25, 2015 at 5:50 pm)Pyrrho Wrote: A perfect being would have no need of anything, as it would be sufficient in itself. Creating something implies the desire to create, and a desire implies that the thing in question lacks something that it wants. Otherwise, it would not create anything. Lacking something that it wants shows imperfection.

So, a perfect being would never create a universe, as it would be sufficient in itself.

You are presuming the creation event was an intentional act.

Great Green Arkleseizure
Quote:Their legend has it that the universe was sneezed out of the nose of the Great Green Arkleseizure, and they thus "live in perpetual fear of the time they call 'The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief.'"
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
