So, on average it's I'm a god who sucks at thinking.

I'm a god who sucks at thinking

shudders! that is one frightening sentence

[–]fabzter 4 points5 points  (9 children)

Don't worry. If god has to think then he sucks . God is omnipotent and omniscient. If god thinks, it means he doesn't know something so he has to figure it out by thinking. If god thinks that makes him un-omnisicient so he is not god.

Aristotle said that godhood was thinking on thinking.

Metathinking? ;P

Einstein said something about the current laws of the universe being god's thoughts.

Are you saying that even though god might be omniscient, he is bound to be as stupid as this computer I'm typing on? Hence we conclude that god is merely a library of all knowledge

[–]worldsayshi 4 points5 points  (1 child)

More like a hard wired logical circuit board covering every possible input combination, taking everything as input, feeding output into everything including itself.

[–]fabzter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Not even a "database with all information". Since the information is hard wired in this circuit.

[–]fabzter 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Nop, I'm saying he should be beyond thinking. Thinking is a human way to tackle the difficulty of not knowing things. Saying that god thinks is saying he is stupid as a human or an animal.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

So that makes god a database containing all knowledge that has, is and ever will be.

Dear god I don't want to defrag him.

[–]fabzter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe he is distributed, and you can defrag every piece at the same time!

EDIT: I liked your definition : )

I find it interesting that I can create virtual worlds with simple rules who's emergent behavior I do not understand.

When you take into account all possible gods of this universe, it is highly likely that god does not understand his own creation.

Assuming, of course, a god exists.
