So You Can Design A Better Universe Than God Did! by malvisguy212: 4:58am On Oct 24, 2021
Okay. Here is your chance to design a universe that is better than the one we live in. Many people claim that the poor design of our universe and/or God's involvement or lack thereof results in a universe that is unacceptable. In order tobpresent a thorough model, please address all the following issues:

1. Will the beings you create be equal to you or
less powerful?
2. What degree of free will will you allow to those
beings?
3. How will you prevent those beings from hurting
you, each other and their creation?
4. What will you do with those beings who break
your rules?
5. What laws of physics will you use?

I encourage you to "think outside the box." The universe you design does not have to be similar to our universe. Change the laws of physics. Think about gravity, thermodynamics, matter,energy, etc. Think about the beings who you create. How will they interact with you and each other (you don't have to use the five senses that we have)? My goal is to get you to think deeply about the issues of free will and love and howthose issues are affected by the physical laws.

happy Sunday.

grin The finite mind of man cannot yet fathom the mysteries of our universe, let alone create one that is better.

1. I will create beings less powerful.
2. The issue of free will depends on how powerful I am. If I already know the future, like a video clip, they can't have free will at the same time. When I already know how the movie will end.
3. I will create them with materials that nothing can hurt within their universe. They can't hurt me since they are less powerful and dont even know where I am.
4. This depends on what my purpose for creating them is. The problem with us is that religion pretends to know why God created the universe. I will make them in a way where rules aren't necessary. They won't be able to commit sins and yet be happy.
Let's look at a scenario where there is rules, I will make sure everyone personally knows what I want not through some other human beings who claimed to be prophets that have died thousands of years b4 I was born. I will time to time appear to them, dont worry about how, I am God. In their dreams when you're age 7. I will always flash both heaven and hell for u to see those that are there to give u enough motivation to decide what u gonna do.
5. Law of physics? A universe where there is no volcanoes and hurricanes. You mean God cannot do that without a trade off. Let's forget the evil among us, what about natural disasters, you mean God cant avoid creating them and still keep the universe in balances. There is something he cant do. You guys give us a limited God when u want to and a limitless one when you want to.

@ Sirsesan
your account is lame , you did not give reasons why a god might create spiritual beings at all. 1,2 and 3 look like a copycat from this universe.

I have no problem with the universe as it currently is, personally.
If I was God I wouldn't really be involved with it, I'd sit back with my popcorn and watch as things unfold. I'm neither good nor bad, I'm just making different universes with different properties to see how they turnout any humans or sentient creatures that come up are just a result of that universe playing out. No hell or heaven, if they worship or believe in me or not, is not my concern.
Just my thoughts.

To answer your questions, in my universe.

1. They will be inferior. For any sentient intelligent beings, Not at first, but they will have the chance to grow, learn and evolve in time to be my equals.
2. Absolute freewill, I don't see the future so I never know what's going to happen.
3. I don't, it's going to be hunger games out there, I just wouldn't design them with an impulse for violence,(that is if I cared enough to design them, and they are not just a emergent property of that universe) they can hurt anyone or themselves should they wish and not unless they ascend to my level they can't really touch me.
4. It is up to those creatures to create rules for themselves and punish their offenders, but if I cared enough, I'd be borrowing from Buddhism and make a the cycle of karma and reincarnation, If you hurt others, your punishment is to reincarnate as a lesser lifeform (animals, insects) when you die, and you have to live through the food chain, before returning to an intelligent being once again to have a second chance. If I can't be bothered to care, they can all at least attain total peace after death.
5. Not unless I'm God I won't know, did God create this universe like this purposefully, or was this the only possible way he could had created the universe, with its current laws.
Anyway for the fun of it, maybe a flatland world, in a 5D universe, just because I can.
