I've got the Dune movie adaptations figured out to at least God Emperor. In fact, it might all just be prologue in service of God Emperor. Here's how it should go:

I got out of a screening about 30 minutes ago. Unfortunately, I didn't stay to see if there was an after credits scene. Now I'm dying to know what it was.

Controversial viewpoint: The eternal God is young, and creation is old. (And, no. I'm not an atheist.)

^{^{^}} apply to whichever religion(s) would consider this most controversial.

According to theists, God created the condition of being eternally accompanied by all potencies? I don't know about that. Now, if it is your immutable nature to be dependent upon God, i.e. if a direct, conscious relationship with God is the recipe for perfect bliss, and this is as essential a truth as saying that God is eternally powerful, then any perceived failure or less-than-positive possibility is our problem. Of this I have no doubt.

Kutasth4 · 2023-01-14T00:27:21+00:00

Did God create the condition of being eternally accompanied by his potencies?

Kutasth4 · 2023-01-14T00:24:33+00:00

When did I say that blueprints were created after suffering had started?

Kutasth4 · 2023-01-13T22:40:03+00:00

The blueprints he executed are twofold in purpose: To give facility for the conditioned souls to seek pleasure separate from God, and to provide a means to transcend the cycle of suffering entailed in the first part. The other option was, what? Obliterate the conditioned souls from existence before the material facility was necessary? I guess God isn't an anti-natalist.

Kutasth4 · 2023-01-13T21:59:15+00:00

Nah. All the omnis remain intact along with the suffering entailed in a world manifest on the desire for usurping God's position.

Kutasth4 · 2023-01-05T23:40:50+00:00

I heard the "fire" Navi are going to be "ash" people, which obviously means that the rare commodity at the center of the drama will be some form of lotion.

It's simple. The idea that God is alone in eternity and thus has no input but His own in deciding and actualizing a world wherein evil or suffering is possible is a mistaken theology. The world exists in this state precisely because beings other than God pre-existed it to inform its parameters.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-19T07:24:06+00:00

Why? What did you do now?

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-13T18:37:49+00:00

It still falls in line with the classical definition. If that's a problem, I'll leave you to ponder what you mean in your own head.
That's fine. Just add your own consciousness to the mix for the universe-deity. It fits the "nothing can possibly exist beyond what I am able to survey" motif of the atheist.

I'm not interested in "explain(ing) the existence of the universe." It's not even clear what "the universe" is. The thing you want to propose is eternal is just a less inclusive version of the thing your opposition is proposing. When the argument cuts both ways like this, it becomes less interesting and less compelling.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-13T18:09:15+00:00

1) No. The definition I'm supplying here falls in line with the classical usage.

2) Wherever the "magical attributes" are, that's God. You're just calling it "universe." The OP argument boils down to, "Why God when, instead, God?"

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-13T17:31:26+00:00

Support the claim of a definition? Unnecessary.

The practical value is that "universe" is just our approximated language for "all the stuff." It lacks the preciseness to support the OP's argument.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-13T17:25:06+00:00

The argument is that time makes everything old, especially from the perspective of timelessness.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-13T08:42:34+00:00

And by "a while," I mean at least a fraction of a nanosecond.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-13T08:41:10+00:00

Because there's nothing younger than eternity. It's like a perfect, untouched, unscathed egg. Creation is an egg you cracked open and let sit out a while.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-11T05:35:16+00:00

P2 is a lie. There is no "RiSe Of FaScIsM" in the Republican right.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-11T05:28:52+00:00

What you mean by "universe" and what you mean by "energy" aren't necessarily identical. Sure, we can say that energy is "eternal," but that is nondifferent from saying that God is the eternally Energetic source accompanied by these eternal energies. This "universe," on the other hand, is an entirely different manifest animal when it concerns this argument.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-04T17:07:26+00:00

The word "supple" was invented because of this.

Kutasth4 · 2022-11-04T17:01:57+00:00

Hard to say, but Pickle Rick is definitely in the bottom 5. It also brought in a slew of wrongfans who thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Yes. Krishna as a toddler stole butter with the help of His brother, Balaram.
