This is an ID argument, not a creationist argument. Therefore, I'm not making the assertion that this idea accounts for the existance of the Biblical God.
what's an id argument?
i stated two things. one was that the bible does indeed say that god has a physical body. the other was what god is quoted as saying makes a god in genesis 3.

I don't think the laws of physics would allow this sort of thing.>>
Maybe, maybe not.......that's what I wanted to hear from you guys, if any of you knew of any evidence as to why it would or wouldn't be possible.
BTW, Tipler is the author of The Physics of Immortality. This fantasy deals with superhumans that would have the ability to bring the dead back to life.>>
Give me a little break down on what he has to say.

Gotcha, but the Bible has nothing to do with my idea.

As quick as possible: In the distant future, human computer technology will have developed to the point where we can accurately model the entire universe; at that point, we'll be able to retrodict backwards in time and reconstruct every human who has ever lived. We'll all live forever in the Matrix, or whatever.

no, what argument did i make that was intelligent design? i was playing along with the thread, which is more or less id in some form.
Gotcha, but the Bible has nothing to do with my idea.
we were looking for a definition of god, and i provided the opinion of one source.

I'm thinking a better definition of God would be one that would be universally agreed upon.........which would be a God that was, for all intents and purposes, all knowing and all powerful.

I know you didn't bring it up, but what does this have to do with the subject?

You don't think that the power to reincarnate every human being who has ever lived into a perfect digital paradise is maybe just a little bit godlike?
He was trying to answer how gods might have evolved by making reference to a theorist who predicts that we'll someday all be gods ourselves. I think it's a load of horseshit, though. Maybe you agree?

Would that really be reincarnation? That'd just be duplication.

I don't see how it could produce THE God.........

It'd be duplication of you at exactly the moment of your death. You won't notice the difference, theoretically. Sounds like reincarnation to me.

What God?

i was just pointing out that the bible has suprisingly lower standards for deity.

Sounds like a computer program tricked into thinking it's a reincarnated human to me.
