Comment on "God works in mysterious ways" basically means "this doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm gonna ignore it"

I dunno’ I like to view that part as many do eith their creations. Does a builder not like to see their project standing at the end? Does a programmer not like to see their program work?

Both should know exactly what will happen (especially the programmer), but there is both satisfaction and a necessity to get it actually running.

Of course, that’s anthropomorphizing God and projecting, but then that’s 99% of religion, so…

We were made in His image, according to the 3 biggest religions. And most take that to mean that, other than the power he wields, he is like us.

  The three biggest religions are based on the same b.s. I’d count the statement as perpetuated by one text that got copied like homework.

Well to borrow a bit from the rest of the threads here, just how much baby cancer is in the builder’s project or the programmer’s code? The difference in perspective between an all powerful all knowing being knowing fully what the entirety of the outcome of their creation vs our speculation of the outcome of our works is probably incomparable. Would there even be a difference between experiencing the spectacle of the universe verses perfectly knowing it as an all knowing being? That might be an interesting philosophical question.

  Yea definitely. I unironically think that IF there is truth to it, it’s more likely in a perceiving spacetime as easily as we look at a tree or a cloud, but… well, taking such a concept through physics is pretty difficult. There are some fun holographic type of ways to represent spacetime as an object to be played with from the outside, but the math is far beyond me to verify and expand on. It was a TED talk, so the votacity of it might be questionable, too. lol
  
  So many other ways to represent spacetime don’t make it very obvious how to control things through time as desired or otherwise control time.
  
  Hell, maybe it’s simply a philisophical statement that humanity will get wise enough to easily predict further and further in to the future, like climate change, and watching the sun’s cycles vs other stars, etc.
