RE: A COSMIC MULTI-PLAYER GAME - My interpretation of the book of Genesis

While I do not wish to denigrate or in any way diminish or demean your beliefs, I understand you to be seeking rational and constructive criticism and comment on your post, so I will undertake a minor point.

"...he has all the means at his disposal to become aware of his thoughts."

I suggest that this is demonstrably not factually correct. It is easily shown that from the standpoint of science, we are utterly nescient as to the nature and cause of our thoughts. It is also blatantly apparent that we do not exercise such control and means that have been proposed, and not yet falsified, that we have managed to ascertain. I could go on at length, providing examples of ways in which we misconceive of what consciousness is, our grasp of what it is, where it comes from, and etc., ad nauseum, but I will not because it's not important to my point nor useful to you and your purpose in posting.

I will just say that we are incompetent to discuss higher states of being when we can't even categorize or characterize the lowest states of being, or even our own state of being. We are utterly and blatantly incompetent to make judgments as to the character and composition of God, gods, ourselves, or even worms, fish, or biofilms. We can make a few carefully worded characterizations of our physical world, of our bodies, and the bodies of such creatures as we have long and insightfully studied, but there are almost no definitive statements we can state factually regarding spirit, consciousness, or mind.

We, and I mean anyone and everyone, can but speculate.

Thanks!
