How can God not know everything? If not, he'd be just like me, and believe me, I'm no God. To Him it's like breathing. God can't help but know everything.

>>God being omnipotent and omnipresent, knows everything that has happened and will happen. God never changes, thus truth never changes. To God our life is just a flash. Future has already happened.

Every 100,000 years a tiny dove comes by and brushes it with its wing until finally after millions and billions of years the marble is worn away. To God the time it took for that earth sized solid marble be worned down to nothing is but a split second. To infinity time doesn't exist. It's always the present.

>In my paper there is somethign that represents everything that has happened, and everything that will happen. It is called Fundamental Nature, which is why I asked if you are equating God to FN. It makes sense too. In fact when I think of the Jeudo-Christian view of the world with God in Heaven and Man on Earth I find it describes exactly the relationship between Fundamental Nature and nature.


I will read your paper thoroughly tonight when I get the chance and get back to you.

Work as if you don't need money
Love as if you've never been hurt before
Live as if this is your last day to live
Dance as if no one's watching
