This conversation interests me a great deal (which is an understatement). I can hardly wait for a point at which I can participate.
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when
called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.

Im pretty sure that you must have a confused apologetic understanding of god. The bible is very clear about that fact its not mistaken.

But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God. – Matt. 19:26
For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. – Luke 1:37
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The bible doesnt limit gods power to logically possible. The very nature of Resurrection is illogical. Death has no logical reversal.

Yet system restore and reversible computations are logical? Tongue

Btw, I think that Ryft is the best theist for these kind of philosophical debates. I know that he has done this before with intelligent replies. But we'll see how it goes.

Please clarify your point. Are you equivocating death with computers? I can only understand your point if your are totally untrained in computing and assume the same of me.

EDIT: Are you assuming im a theist?

No, I don't have any empirical evidence. It's a philosophical idea which has a connection to quantum mechanics.

Also, I actually do believe what I said in the other post, but at the same time, with a degree of skepticism as well because I don't know if the universe is really a quantum computer. Tongue
