I'm thinking of the end of religious idiocy on ATS.

It won't happen, nor will will ATS ever be free of the religious nut-jobs.

So I put it out there that your point doesn't bear water.... yet.

The Para.

True. But so does every other god.

Haha, yes! And also doesn't exist, and also is Satan in disguise, and also is really going to torture everyone once they get to Heaven. All of these nasty things and infinitely more playing out somewhere in space and time!

And all coming to a theater near you!

And that can happen, too, man.


Look up "imagining the 10th dimension" if you haven't already seen it. It explains what the 10+ dimensions are in popular theories of quantum physics. It just so happens that these physicists are not only assuming time is variable, but entire sets of universes are variables. The final dimension is actually just the sum of every single possible variation within every single possible universe, using every single possible set of laws to create those infinite universes. They can be isolated within their own space and time completely from the infinite other universes.

Once you start wrapping your head around some of these ideas you see it is really no different. The same path, only infinitely long. It figures. It's not as if the universe has nothing better to do than exist and diversify for the sake of experience anyway. Hell, even people do it on a small, human scale by making so many movies about so many crazy things for our own entertainment and self-discovery.

Great! It means that I, you, he/she, we created everything by thinking about it. The whole Multiverse (God included)!

That would be hilarious. We could get two of the greatest minds in history together, tell them to imagine entirely opposite concepts, and then BAM! The universe implodes!

Edit:
To actually add my thoughts to this idea... I think the OP is on the right track in that if you can conceptualize something, it isn't impossible to exist. Just because I can wish I lived in a world where pink unicorns run around drinking pink waterfalls in a land of pink candy (and who doesn't? ), it doesn't mean that world exists somewhere. This idea is applicable to art, creation, design, etc. An artist visualizes something in his/her mind, and then creates it. It doesn't necessarily actually exist somewhere. That would defy all logical thinking, and we don't wanna go BACKWARDS in our learning experience!

There are infinite infinities. It's a mind bender but Truth. We are more divine and infinite that we can even imagine... yet. And to think time is an illusion. Infinite infinities is all happening at the same moment. All Knowledge is available to us in an instant if we simply open ourselves to the possibility.

I had a sudden and spontaneous Awakening to Infinite Awareness, Universal Knowledge, the Mind of God, Buddha under the bodhi tree, Jesus' I AM, etc. last year. This 3D experience has just about run its course. Again, I use time because it's our collective reference point right now but not the Ultimate Reality.

Nice post, thanks.

And to think, it's already happened! Mind bending is fun.

I like where you are trying to go with your ideas, but I don't agree.

I would say just the opposite. That, everything is an illusion & the only real thing that exist is God. So, in my opinion, anything that can be imagined is just part of the illusion.
Quantium Physics says that matter is a thought, that it isn't real.

We are, simly put, God trying to forget that we are God. The Hindu refer to the Lila, the Ultimate Reality, and the Maya, the illusion or false reality. The Lila, omnipotence, really takes the fun out of Being.

That sounds like the old "Infinite Monkey Theorem" postulated by Arthur Eddington back in the 1920s.

The "Infinite Monkey Theorem" states that a monkey typing on a keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely be able to type the works of William Shakespeare.

Which is to say that when talking about "infinite" amounts of time or infinite numbers of situations, anything becomes possible.
