Theists and atheists debate whether God exists. But about what God are they arguing? There's enormous variation in the kinds of Gods that populate world religions. Philosophers, too, add radical ideas of what God might be like. How to make sense of the menagerie of gods? A first step is to appreciate the landscape of diverse and unusual gods.

I have to agree with Robert: there are lots of ways God could intervene and not mess up Natural Law. I really like the idea of panentheism, though, for a bunch of reasons. It sounds consistent with Incompleteness -- no matter how sophisticated our models, there is always something more, even those initiated by the most well-defined, most restrictive axioms. Our view of God and universe is nothing but a model -- a map, not the territory.

This is one of my favorite episodes or interview excerpts. Because it homes in on the relevant. I am repelled by discussions which leave some consideration out and endlessly circle actual core issues. This was a breath of fresh air. Thank you 🙏🏻 🥰🙌 However as a disclaimer, I have built a wholly new paradigm which allows me to clearly see and know what god actually is and how it connects with what we call reality at every level. 😂 🤷‍♀️ So, in other words, I see much more meaning in what is being said.

An excellent interview, very engaging from start to finish.. Try as I may, I can't get behind panENtheism, BUT I'm certainly agnostic when it comes to SOME versions of pantheism.. The idea that the cosmos could be a vast information processing "Machine" seems more likely to me than the construct that this fine gentleman imagines.. MAYBE the universal wave function could be thought of as God..?? If that's so however, AND there's some sort of godlike intent involved, why would the universe be so chaotic, violent and destructive?? Peace.

(7:30) *RLK: **_"I want to try to find truth, not what makes you comfortable."_* ... It's interesting to see RLK and his many guests trying to figure out what's going on in these CTC videos (what we represent, why we are here, why anything exists at all). The TRUTH is that all of the puzzle pieces can be neatly assembled in a 2021 book titled *"0"* that our modern, bot-based technology won't allow to go mainstream. ...What good is it for humanity to seek the answers to life's most complex questions while erecting unsurpassable barriers for whatever answers may emerge?

OK, I'll bite. Your video of images matched to rad beats got me. I have been perceiving existence as polarity of +1 and -1. Are you implying the polarity is +1 and 0? I recently had a discussion on reddit (chat) with someone arguing that position. To me, the zero state/ lack of activity is the womb and the positive and negative polarity is our world. In a Trinitarian sense, God is the void, God's Son is the "matter" spoken/vibrated by the void and God's Spirit is formless breath/ energy. If I am speaking to a similar aspect of your book, how does my metaphor differ?

​@@guywhoisnotbob *"Your video of images matched to rad beats got me."* ...KZfaq's automated bots took down the video even though every segment was pulled from other KZfaq videos. It was deemed *"too violent for community standards"* by KZfaq. Amazon KDP's automated bots also refuses to publish this same book. Support emails stated that the author's name *(1)* _"may be too confusing to their customers."_ Even CTT's own comment thread has automated input filters that prevent me from posting certain words, links, or phrases. Yes, even on a channel that's dedicated to '"discovering the truth" will screen and censor our information. Ironically, all of this bot-blocking is discussed in the final chapter. *"Are you implying the polarity is +1 and 0?"* ... No. *0* and *1* (Nonexistence and Existence) represent the most rudimentary state of Existence. Anything prior to this most basic of all possible juxtapositions cannot exist. ... Polarity doesn't emerge until much later. *" God's Son is the "matter" spoken/vibrated by the void and God's Spirit is formless breath/ energy. If I am speaking to a similar aspect of your book, how does my metaphor differ?"* ... You have a personality that is more open to differing views than most, so you'd probably understand this book better than most. However, yours and my thinking are different. You are taking the accepted, historic understanding of a metaphysical God and rebranding it with the many new discoveries of modern science. In my book titled *"0"* there is no God in the way that we have it defined. ... Everything is connected (even atheism and theism). Humans represent the tail end of a 13.8-billion-year evolution of Existence (information) seeking more information via conscious exploration. There have been 6 different information-seeking "Recursions" (including the one we are in right now) that demonstrate how Existence has been pursuing a single piece if crucial data. It's not some unimaginably complex mathematical formula, metaphysical revelation, or an unobtainable state of knowledge. In fact, it's the same information humanity has been seeking all along. *The big question is:* What if Existence has already discovered this information via the life experiences of billions of _Homo sapiens_ ... but we're too self-focused to realize that this has already happened?

(Spinoza's God? ) Did Einstein believe in God? Yes. He defined God in an impersonal, deistic fashion, but he deeply believed that God's handiwork was reflected in the harmony of nature's laws and the beauty of all that exists. He often invoked God, such as by saying He wouldn't play dice, when rejecting quantum mechanics. Einstein's belief in something larger than himself produced in him a wondrous mixture of confidence and humility. As he famously declared: "A spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort." When asked directly if he believed in God, he always insisted he did, and explained it once this way: "We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws." . ~ by Albert Einstein (from Time Magazine) April 5, 2007

The only way i can explain it is by story development. At all of this can be looked at as stories with all sorts of developments with the stories determin what is going to happen. The god element in all of this would be a sort of story machine in which all this takes place afaik.

Theism, pantheism, panantheism, all assume that there is a hidden mystery and if we believe their stories, the mystery disappears. In other words, they assume the story is complete and we see only the parts mot covered by supernatural mysteries. What about if the story is not complete? We are witnessing how consciousness becomes aware of mathematics so that mathematics becomes alive in classrooms, online courses, journals and conferences. If you must have a supernatural thing that transcends time, that is always true, that is eternal, not made, not created, there you have it: mathematics. It needs to become alive in us. Dinosaurs never knew elliptical curves.

I like it, god as relationship. We have a language for this - mind and heart, god as mind may be perfect but impotent, God as heart is limited to the relationships that can be known. E.F. Schumacher expresses this in his four fields of knowledge, self-inside, other-outside as direct (mind knowledge), and self-outside, other-inside as indirect (heart knowledge). To the heart, the only real thing we can give the world is our own integrity, to be whole with one's own word, which gives away "power" that the mind tries to maintain. Love arises from that vulnerability, which is expressed in our ability to give of ourselves, and relationship gives the knowledge to better know what sort of giving is helpful and what is not. Jesus took it to the limit, giving his own life, to take away the mind's suffering, that our past sins can never be undone. Jesus says we can start again today and raise ourselves past our past selves, and it is possible because of God's grace.

Think of the life of Kyle Rittenhouse, teenager who took it upon himself to "protect" a city from rioting, and ended up killing two people, and now he's been raised as a right-wing hero, proof that guns are good and allow us to protect ourselves and our possessions from people who would destroy. What sort of relationship with God can he have, where the world must be divided between good and bad people, where good people can shoot and kill bad people and self-justify that they had no choice. Science and materialism can't touch his moral dilemma. His yet underdeveloped conscience has a tough battle head, and he has no incentive to feel the pain of what he's done, and now has a culture that defines it as good. Only religious language can help him face that, and religion can be just as good at justifying violence than facing a wounded innocence when you take a life out of fear.

Panentheism is an interesting idea. But if god can transcend the world, then that is still more “existence.” So, it seems to me that it would revert back to pantheism. The idea of pantheism would include this transcendent part of god. Say if you think all things are physical, and that some aspects may not exhibit physicalism like consciousness, it may just be that the “physical” stretches further than you thought. Maybe the physical can include the mental. So, in the same sense, the transcendent part of god is still a part of the whole existence of everything. It is pantheism with levels.

Although the view expressed here does not bolster or summerily shoot down any notion in what my own view is of the devine. I can say that I looked upon his image and was overcome with peace and fear a terrible fear of not recieving his eternal love. For that I felt shame. Shame that I precieved something so beautiful that there is only one word to discribe it..(God) and I let the notion go of his exsistence only because I do not see him in everything that I view here on this planet, Universe, or anything eles for that matter. But, I realise that I carry him with me where ever I go on this planet, Universe, or anywhere in between. My vision has always been baised of what (We) create him to be. As it is different for you then me and vise versa. Most times I put all the burden of what is wrong with this planet at his feet or cross or throne. With all the sickness that afflicks the children and old alike, as well as the treatments that are given in some cases, and seeing those friends or loved ones go through all that, hopeing for a favorable outcome but preparing for the inevitible, as with all things under the Sun. I my view is just skewed. But at the same time (We) have alot of goodness, love and Grace that hold back if only for a bit, all the bad. Even the faintest of light vanquises the darkness and chases all the bad away. So I get reminded from time to time about this novel vision of divinity and for the most part I'm okay with it, although I still can't make out the whole image. I just need to let my eyes adjust to that bright lighr.

Let me try and ask ourselves a thought provoking question: What would an external, alien, unbiased (as far as possible) watcher or listener think about this admittedly sophisticated discussion? My suspicion is, she would ask herself: "What the heck is this entity called God meant to be, why do they even use this word, isn’t it all about the structure of the universe? Why are they so much focused on a hypothetical being (called God) who governs the whole world - is it just the anthropic analogy that some superhero must exist to hold the world together? Poor human beings… not willing to be self-responsible…" ❓ Occams Razor: Pantheism (even without theism) is simpler than Panentheism, no outer entity needed (as sad as it sounds, but probably true). Human bias eliminated. 😀

When you “experience” God you will look at the world differently and never be able to comprehend it in the same way you did before, science isn’t able to explain the unexplainable, God will make you question everything you ever believed. Anyone who thinks God fits into a “human” theory will be unable to accept God and will deny the power because if can’t be explained by anyone field of study: science theology psychology philosophy etc.. think of God as an Alien being and then try to make that work in this world..because technically that’s what HE is..God can do things that we cannot and with every generation he creates knew challenges for everyone to try to figure out.. and he will change the rules and the laws that we think are unchangeable .. compare Quantum physics, string theory to the theory of general relativity and you will see how God will play with your mind..

I agree, God would not violate the laws of physics. But we don't know all the laws of physics either... Angels, for example, can accelerate time. The Universe Mother Spirit has powers of anti-gravity. And the Divine Father is not omnificent, he created a whole host of celestial beings to delegate tasks to, like creating local universes of time and space to his Paradise Creator Sons, like the one who incarnated as Jesus. The Master knew all about the universe, because he created it. And yet, he put all that power in a sort of blind trust, while he grew up as a man. Apparently, to be divine, is also to be humble. Way Cool!

So, this is how gods are made. If the current explainations don't do it for you. Well, just make your own Frankenstein theology that fits your expectations. 🤔

You are allowed to use the correct, traditional pronoun, because the “traditional” view is THE view. There is no adjusting it to fit into current times, that would be a different religion then. There is no shame in saying “himself” in this context. These “t’s” are really ruining everything, making nonsense for no reason.

This is a prime example of the "human wisdom" that is foolishness to God.

Religion has already set us back 2000-years. How about some credible evidence upfront prior to fabrication of more mythical dogma.

He concepts GOD is it anti Science. GOD atributies true concept is necessary proof. Spinoza GOD used geometry to proof HIM. Guys are, so pedantic. He minds concern GOD are weird words.Possibilities show up existence GOD requires honest mind.

Another attempt to reconcile religion with science. They know science removes the need for god. This is an strained attempt to keep god relevant.

Light is not fast E=mc² is wrong We couldn't have see sun if light is fast. Even we never ever have able to imagine about stars if light is fast forget about to see stars too. When sun rises sun light/photons takes 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach from sun to earth. When sun light reach earth our eyes directly sees sun. Sun light travel by taking second second distance. By travelling second second it able to reach up to earth at 8 minutes 20 seconds. When it hit our eyes after 8:20m our eyes directly observed sun. Distance of sun from earth and earth to sun is equal. Our eyes should have see like light travel if light is fast. Our eyes should have see like light travel . Our eyes should see second second distance and only could have see sun. Our eyes shouldn't have see sun at ones if light/photons is fast. Our eyes should have open up to more than 8 minutes 20 seconds when light hits by sun to see sun. Our eye should have open continuous up to more than 8:20 when light hits eyes to see sun. Even one blink eyes should not have see sun. One blink should have unable to see sun. We wouldn't have see sun like we are observing now if light is fast. About Stars are far about to see and imagine if is fast. We never have have observed stars in life if light is fast. To see moon also we have take more than 2 minutes time to see too. To observe moon too our we face to face our eyes more then 2 minutes continue without blink too. Light is not fast.

Absolutly WRONG. Distance Sun light are so millions. Light from SUN is coming Earth fastest. Please per attention. Einstein theory was proof while you comments over his theory wasnt.

there's an Up and Atom video that just arrived that describes this very well I think, the speed of light remains the same and the circumstances change, or something like that :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLuno7KItM2Ulp8.html

@@maxwellsimoes238 I'm saying wrong. Yes wrong. Light fast is wrong. If light is fast we never would have able observed sun. If light is fast than we have able to observe only few distance at ones. We just have see like light travel Distance distance per second. . Yes we should have see like light/photons travel.
