For someone who is not a traditional theist, it occurs to me that you can extrapolate from this a model where god is a random world generator whose only impositions are constraints related to logical possibility. This gives rise to the full multiverse of possible worlds.<BR/>Best regards, <BR/> - Steve EsserStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851240963321295307noreply@blogger.com
