Re: Re-How complex is God
I believe in the beginning God created everything perfect. Due to the first man willfully disobeying God we have been devolving every since.
So a perfect man willfully disobeyed God?
Does that mean that if you are striving for perfection in the eyes of God, you should attempt to do the same thing?

But once you admit that ther is an eternal uncaused somthing which is more than all the finite parts and upon which they are dependent then you have acknowledged what the theist argued all along - God.
How does a "something" become a God in your mind. Why does an "eternal something" have to be some kind of being, or thinking entity? Because you want it to be?
We know from revelation that He is Eternal and Creator.
You know? Or you believe? You shouldn't confuse faith based beliefs with knowledge. Where did this revelation come from? An oracle? A mystic? Perhaps a seer or a self-appointed prophet?
These are no more reliable sources of knowledge than a gypsy with a crystal ball, or a new-ager doing tarot cards.
