LJ Repost from 2004 on God

Q: Could god make a rock so heavy that he couldn't ever lift it?

A: Duh! Of course he can! Dude can do whatever he feels like.

by definition, any supreme entity would have to be supreme, right? So, he/she/it would precede time, live outside of space, and think outside of logic. If God is supreme, then it is possible that time, space, and logic are not. (Humor me.)

What if he got sick of it... just plain bored, or just plain random. What if he felt like growing a conciousness? he would. How long would it take? The question is irrelevant. He exists outside of time. Where would he grow it? Everywhere.

How would he grow it? However he grew it...

Everything inside of it, leading up to its culmination, would be slaves to his whim.

He could invent silly things like quarks and leptons, and make up arbitrary numbers like 3e8 and everything would have to obey. What the hey- how about three spacial dimensions and unidirectional time? Logic and other a priori stuff is just part of the game. We get a headache
when we try to reason about a priori knowledge because we run on it, just like we live in 3D.

So the theory goes like this: We are part of the organic precursors in god's whimisical attempt to grow a physical body and an omnicient conciousness.

whether or not He has anything to do with morality... I'll get back to you on that. I think the answer is also in the definition... otherwise, the Euthyphro question becomes a brick wall.

This of course does not mean that I've given up on my theory that all terestrial life was designed by some crazy alien geneticist... all these meta-philisophical ranblings still don't touch on how aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases got evolved on a planet bound by logic.
