Deity Existence

[Vasu]

I've never considered/heard of the multiverse theory being applied to a deity-debate. Interesting.


Very true, except probably for the last part. Things God doesn't approve of happen all the time in this universe so I suppose you could say it has no bearing on other universes as well.

Let me put it in another way. In this universe, I might murder someone. In another, I might not. So does god punish me or reward me? Because it's all me, it's not U1 me and U2 me.

I would guess that every universe's avatars are dealt with appropiately. The one that killed would be punished, the one that didn't would not.


A universe is created every time a choice is made/for every probability. Makes sense that what it ends in is different too.

[Vasu]

But then what about what Hrae said? By saving a life, he's causing a death in another, so why are we all not guilty of murder?

[Ivramire]

How can one be punished for what another in a seperate universe has done?


Our avatars can still technically be called us, but what makes a person is not only their characters and memories but their decisions as well.

[Ralath]

So... what...? There are multi-verse Heavens and Hells? There are multi-verse Gods?

...Christianity isn't a monotheistic religion..?

Say. Wut.

[Ivramire]

I frankly think that they aren't compatible. The people writing the bible obviously didn't account for a possible multi-verse.


Interesting concept though.

[Vasu]

While what you say is true, this is all "fitting on" as it were. It's obvious, as you said, that the people writing the Bible didn't even consider the possibility of multiple universes. Suddenly, there's a way to explain the inconsistencies in the Bivle, and you can't say "therefore multiple universes exist, because it's compatible with the Bible."


I know nobody said that, but it's a ridiculous conclusion to jump to.

According to what i know about the multiverse theory, for a universe to split, there has to be an equal chance for all paths. I.E. if you flip a coin in this universe, in the parallel one it came up the opposite side. Therefore, for your theory to be correct, there would have to be a 50-50 shot for Jesus existing or not, or for Moses and the 10 commandments, but there more likely than not wasnt, so your theory is kinda moot, if im correct.

Anyway, i may be wrong, all i know is from the video we watched on it in science and the after-video discussion we had though.

The multiverse concept is so nebulous right now, we might as well be discussing how many angels are dancing on the head of a pin. Certain data fits the model, but nothing coming anywhere close enough to be conclusive, much less the ability to pinpoint how the other universes are created, probability or not.

I've never heard of the 50/50 thing. Is there any writing or a link for it or is it purely the impression you got? (Yes, I read the part I quoted)


I don't think anyone seriously considered the multi-verse angle but only that it was very interesting to consider the whole question through the possibility of it being real. So many implications...


Or we could go back to the God lifting impossible stone thing.
