[s]There is nothing valid about the argument so I'm not sure what should be used against me .

About How a transcendent God could operate within a finite universe or outside time , you can watch intellectuals like Alvin Plantinga , Craig Williams explain on Youtube or read their books . Williams Craig even wrote a book about it in the 1990s , even Platinga wrote in the 70s about this . Twenty to 40 years later an atheist still does not get it . Blame the atheist not theist .[/s]

That is exactly the implications exposed in the OP which is in direct contradiction with the ideas of theism as I showed.

In theism God operates within the universe, fights battles and all - For this to be so God must be a person within this universe if God transcends this universe then God cannot perform actions as a person within this universe.

The transcendent argument contradicts theism but can be reconciled with Deism in a broad sense

In theism God does operate within the universe. God rather operates and influences the actions much like in the movies when we see telekinesis at work. I can control someone via suggestive thought or even make the person act totally irrational and mentally unhinged all via telekinesis without being in the same room or location with the person or being influenced by the persons environment.

There was a story in the bible which talks about Jesus and the storm. When he was in the flesh and spoke to the storm and it was still the comment from the disciples was "what manner of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him".

Does the wind have ears? Does the sea hear? So how then did they understand his command and obey?

If this were to be a movie we would say telekinetic projections achieved this feat and as God this cannot be impossible.

God does not need to be a person in this universe in order to function and he cannot be limited by his transcendent nature. There is nowhere that transcendency suggests limitation.

A divine being can walk through our realm without being affected by it. It's like this. Since we are using movies to discuss this let me bring in another movie ability which is known in science fiction and it is called A FORCE FIELD.

A force field is an invisible barrier of force which does not allow anything that is outside it to affect it but it can affect everything else. Now imagine that force field to be as thin and as close to the skin as a sheet of paper. This would mean that whoever has it on can directly influence everything in his environment but the same environment cannot affect it. IT IS IMMUNE TO ITS ENVIRONMENT.

A lot of what we need to logically analyse the immanence and transcendency of God is already in application either in real life or in movie scripts.

We now have spontaneous thought, telekinetic projections and a force field in play in your movie and this is guaranteed to be a smash hit as far as science fiction goes grin wink

Oh and by the way Johnydon22 since the characters in your movie do not even know they are simply characters and do not know they are being influenced by the movie maker this means they have absolutely no idea about the actions of the movie maker even beyond his movie making.

This also means that this movie maker cannot do anything wrong since his movie characters are unaware of his actions but only respond to a script so their awareness and knowledge is limited to this script.

Change the script, their awareness alters as well. So can an unaware movie character who simply follows a given script chastise his producer when he already accepted the reward or wages for his role?

This character can choose not to play certain scenes but when they choose the scene they want then they get the just wages attached to that role. Would you then blame the producer for meeting his own side of the deal which is to pay for services rendered? grin

I agree with you, totally. My point is that theists do not concede in the face of logic and reason.

They use "logic" and "reason" in defending God, in making commentaries about him. But the most ridiculous aspects of their bullshiit are made "immune" to rational bullets by being said to transcend the domain of logic and reason.

They're practically removing you from the sane zone and demanding that you take a step into the madhouse - where you won't be safe.

Use this valid argument against KingEbukasBlog, and you'll see what I'm talking about. grin

Re: Personhood And Transcendency (personal God Outside Time) by AgentOfAllah: 3:20pm On Oct 05, 2017
johnydon22:


Let me explain then.

Spatial dimensions XYZ + T must equal the speed of light as a constant.

This simple mathematics is the mechanism behind relativity.

XYZ+T=C

The faster you go on XYZ, T must adjust to still sum the total to C

So the faster you go on XYZ, the slow T becomes so the sum will equal C.

That is why in relativity time slows down the faster you go

I hope you understand its application to known laws of physics now.
Oh, I see! Your words describe the time dilation implication of relativity. My bad, your mathematical representation of it threw me off. To preserve the integrity of physical units, it is more appropriately: X2 + Y2 + Z2 = c2dt2.

You have steered away from my original analogy, my analogy on the OP referred to already released movie and in particular one that you are watching on your device.

So for we to assume a pre-released still under production then we are into a different assumptive premise all together than becomes non-sequitor to the original analogy.

If you are watching Hobbit on your phone and I am also watching Hobbit on mine. Its different plains (universes) we both are holding different dimensional plains in our hands, different universes.
I understand that I steered away from your original analogy, but I don't think I have digressed from your conclusion, which was that we cannot interfere with the fate of our 2D subjects. The new premise is supposed to demonstrate a different path through which interference can be achieved, so as far as your conclusion is concerned, it is very sequitur! Potentially, this transcendental god may also be able to change our fates without having to personally interact with us.

Presently, your argument is essentially of the form:
A (3D observer of widely circulated 2D videos) ⇒ B (3D observer transcendent of 2D world)
&
A (3D observer of widely circulated 2D videos) ⇒ C (3D Cannot interfere with 2D world)
∴ Conclusion 1
B (3D observer transcendent of 2D world) ⇒ C (3D Cannot interfere with 2D world)

And my argument is of the form:
D (3D observer of one copy 2D videos) ⇒ B (3D observer transcendent of 2D world)
&
D (3D observer of one copy 2D videos) ¬ C (3D Cannot interfere with 2D world)
∴ Conclusion 2
B (3D observer transcendent of 2D world) ¬ C (3D Cannot interfere with 2D world)

The problem is conclusions 1 and 2 cannot both be correct because they contradict each other.

Note my statement. You cannot exist or act as a person within a time and space you transcend.

Keyword: Person.

You may pause, fast forward and rewind a movie but you sitting on that couch cannot be a person inside that movie even if you are watching a movie you are part of .
Yes, I agree that you cannot exist as a person in the lower dimensional world. But your initial statement that god cannot intervene in our time is what I was challenging. I was showing that it may be possible that a transcendental god can, in fact, edit our time and fate at will, without us noticing.

Can ScienceWatch and KingEbukasBlog also argue logically as their Christian brother (butterflyl1on) and stop derailing this beautiful thread? I cant seem to find anything intelligent that KingEbukasBlog did except for posting links and YouTube videos which are not in tandem with this discussion.

We all can be one on this very thread (whether Christian, Muslim, traditionalist, atheists, agnostics and others). This topic is about terrestrial and extraterrestrial and the dimensions they operates in and to also find out if there is/are interference between the various dimensions.

Pls don't let us derail.
