A *god* (minuscule G) is an immortal sapient being who is still finite
at any given time. Whereas *God* (majuscule G) is the infinite sapient
being.

As physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler noted, "Any
cosmology with unlimited progress will end in God." (See Anthony
Liversidge, interview of Frank Tipler, "A Physicist Proposes a Theory
of Eternal Life that Yields God", Omni, Vol. 17, No. 1 [Oct. 1994],
pp. 89 ff. [8 pp.].) This means that, e.g., any form of immortality
necessarily entails the existence of the capital-G God, in the sense
of an omniscient, omnipotent and personal being with infinite
computational resources. This is mathematically unavoidable, for the
reason that any finite state will eventually undergo the Eternal
Return per the Quantum Recurrence Theorem. This is very easy to see by
considering the simple example of two bits, which have only four
possible states (i.e., 2^2): hence, once these four states have been
exhausted, states will have to recur. What that means is that any
finite state can only have a finite number of experiences (i.e.,
different states), because any finite state will eventually start to
repeat.

Thus, immortality is logically inseparable from the existence of the
capital-G God, since mathematically, immortality requires the
existence of either an infinite computational state or a finite state
which diverges to an infinite computational state (i.e., diverging to
literal Godhead in all its fullness), thus allowing for states to
never repeat and hence an infinite number of experiences.

Consequently, transhumanism--if the goal by that position is
immortality--is inherently theistic, not only in a lowercase-G god
sense, but also in the capital-G God sense.

Interestingly, this also means that the existence of biological
evolution, far from demonstrating that God is unnecessary, is in fact
a logical proof of God's existence *unless* one posits the additional
postulate that there is a limit to evolution. Yet there is no logical
limit to evolution other than infinite complexity; and there exists no
empirical evidence that evolution is finitely-bounded. Thus, to
believe that evolution has a finite cut-off would be to hold a belief
without evidence, and thus it would be an irrational belief.

The concept of man being gods and becoming ever-more Godlike is simply
traditional Christianity, going all the way back to Jesus's teachings
(e.g., see John 10:34), that of Paul and the other Epistlers, and that
of the Church Fathers. In traditional Christian theology, this is
known as apotheosis, theosis or divinization. For many examples of
these early teachings, see the article "Divinization (Christian)",
Wikipedia, Apr. 14, 2015,
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Divinization_%28Christian%29&oldid=656379874
. Though this traditional position of Christian theology has been
deemphasized for the last millennium.

Indeed, the words "transhumanism" and "superhumanism" originated in
Christian theology. "Transhumanism" is a neologism coined by Dante
Alighieri in his Divine Comedy (Paradiso, Canto I, lines 70-72),
referring favorably to a mortal human who became an immortal god by
means of eating a special plant. For the Christian theological origin
of the term "superhumanism", see the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd
ed.), the first appearance being by Henry Montagu, 1st Earl of
Manchester, in his Al Mondo: Contemplatio Mortis, & Immortalitatis
(London, England: Robert Barker, and the Assignes of John Bill, 1636).

Moreover, Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology is a proof (i.e.,
mathematical theorem) demonstrating that sapient life (in the form of,
e.g., immortal superintelligent human-mind computer-uploads and
artificial intelligences) is required by the known laws of physics
(viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and
Quantum Mechanics) to take control over all matter in the universe,
for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and
for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both
processor speed and memory space) to diverge to infinity as the
universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point.
Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic component of the
Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of
Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in
physics, of which TOE is itself mathematically forced by the aforesaid
known physical laws. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and
extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.

The Omega Point final singularity has all the unique properties
(quiddities) claimed for God in the traditional religions. For much
more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it
uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described
in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses
the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:

Don't blame me for your own imbecilic asininity. I never put a gun to
your head and ordered you to behave in the manner of a brain-damaged
cad. Rather, it is your own erroneous Weltanschauung which lead you to
act in such an intellectually-debased way.

However, I have provided the intellectual tools in which to ameliorate
your error. My below articles explain to people (1) theological ethics
and soteriology in a comprehensive and logically-coherent manner; (2)
how the known laws of physics prove God's existence while
demonstrating the exacting and extensive consilience of the New
Testament with said physical laws; (3) the nature of God in light of
said physical laws; (4) the End Time, the Tribulation, the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ, the foundation of Heaven on Earth, and the
universal resurrection of the dead in light of said physical laws; and
(5) the End Time in light of the history of the globalist oligarchy's
self-termed New World Order world government and world religion
agenda.

Item No. 1 is important vis-à-vis salvation for those who maintain
that they already believe in Jesus Christ's Godhead. Items Nos. 2-5
are important in letting atheists, believers in other religions, and
nominal ersatz "Christians" know that God as described by the New
Testament does exist and that the New Testament is true. Items Nos.
2-5 are additionally important in giving believers in Christ a much
deeper understanding of God and of the End Time, so that they may be
strengthened in their faith during the extreme horrors to come and so
that they will not fall for the deceptions of the Beast governmental
system.

My following articles distill all of the most important aspects of
veridical human knowledge into a comprehensive, coherent and unified
whole: from theology, physics, science, ethics, legal theory,
political theory, economics, sociology, epistemology to history.

No, liar - it was grammatically correct.

WHAT "THE INFINITE SAPIENT BEING", IMBECILE?

You begged the question by presuming it at the start of your mindless
nonsense.

You used the definite article, not I.

And dishonestly adding the "is" to the question changes its meaning
completely to the pretending one is granted.

But then you always were thoroughly dishonest.

But since the premises are trivially false (biological evolution is,

The fact that there are no examples of reptiles in transition stages to
birds, or mammals in transition stages to flying mammals, etc, alive today is
evidence that something (like God) had deliberate influence on evolution.
Otherwise why would it no longer be working as it did in the past?

The fact that there are no examples of reptiles in transition stages to
birds, or mammals in transition stages to flying mammals, etc, alive today is
evidence that something (like God) had deliberate influence on evolution.

However, there is no reason to invoke one apart from pre-existing
religious belief, and it is just plain stupid to do so outside their
religion.

That's your guess, and you obviously have great faith in your guess being

No faith is needed when there is scientific evidence, of which there is
plenty. But obviously you don't have any evidence for your supposed god
character, otherwise you'd be showing it to us.
Beliefs, opinions and 'holy' books are NOT evidence.

And if he even had a high-school education elsewhere than the US, he

It's not evidence for anything.
LOL...it's amusing to think that it could truly not be evidence for
anything...LOL...hilarious!!!

Interestingly, this also means that the existence of biological
evolution, far from demonstrating that God is unnecessary, is in fact
a logical proof of God's existence *unless* one posits the additional
postulate that there is a limit to evolution. Yet there is no logical
limit to evolution other than infinite complexity; and there exists no
empirical evidence that evolution is finitely-bounded.
Even if one granted those premises, there is no empirical evidence
that any kind of God has, in fact, evolved yet, so at best they would
suggest that such a thing is possible, not prove that a God exists.
But since the premises are trivially false (biological evolution is,
in fact, constrained by chemistry and physics), that's a moot point.
But as the rest of my post which you here reply to, yet cut out,
demonstrates, the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of
Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) actually
mathematically force the universe to diverge to infinite computational
power,
Nonsense. As Pauli would say, it isn't even wrong.

So far from physics constraining evolution, the known physical laws
actually logically force the universe to evolve to infinite complexity
and infinite intelligence.
Nice job moving the goalposts. What has this assertion to do with
*biological* evolution, which is, as I noted, constrained by chemistry
and physics
The fact that there are no examples of reptiles in transition stages to
birds, or mammals in transition stages to flying mammals, etc, alive today is
evidence that something (like God) had deliberate influence on evolution.
Otherwise why would it no longer be working as it did in the past?
What a load of garbage.Evolution is happening all around us.

I've noticed that atheists never feel they need to support their claims, or
give any indication that they have any idea what they want people to think they
think they're trying to talk about.
Athiesm does not involve making any claims.
Big mistake. Atheism professes NO God despite all the evidence. Agnostics say
they don't find the evidence convincing.

What "evidence" was the proven serial liar lying about? He keeps
claiming there is evidence but has never attempted to provide any.

Just like all the other theists who have made the same claim.

Again, what "evidence"?

The proven serial liar keeps getting both atheists and agnostics
wrong, even though he has been corrected over and over again.

We are part of the world beyond his religious paradigm, and its tenets
don't even apply to us. We cannot be described as if they did -
including its god.

Puke tells the same old lie about us, to us, just as he has been doing
since the 1990s because he is too stupid to think outside his
religion, in the real world where his god is a belief just like Zeus,
Odin, Krishna, Mithras and all the others - not an actuality.

Being open-minded is merely the willingness to consider
evidence, not the willingness to accept claims without any.

That's strong atheism, though as we see many if no most atheists want to
deny it even exists. Then we have weak atheism which involves not having a
belief, though I have yet to encounter someone who says they're a weak atheist
that behaves like one. Having no belief would involve considering the
possibility that God does not exist but also considering the possibility that he
does. I've never seen any of these atheists give the slightest bit of evidence
that they're capable of considering the possibility that God exists. Even after
they claim to be able to I have never known even one of them to provide any
evidence of it.

You proved me correct by displaying your own shame of strong atheism. Even
though you yourself clearly appear to be a strong atheist you're not only
ashamed of your own faith but obviously ashamed that strong atheism even exists.
True as that is, you're also far too narrow minded to be even the worst of weak
atheists.

Interestingly, this also means that the existence of biological
evolution, far from demonstrating that God is unnecessary, is in fact
a logical proof of God's existence *unless* one posits the additional
postulate that there is a limit to evolution. Yet there is no logical
limit to evolution other than infinite complexity; and there exists no
empirical evidence that evolution is finitely-bounded.
Even if one granted those premises, there is no empirical evidence
that any kind of God has, in fact, evolved yet, so at best they would
suggest that such a thing is possible, not prove that a God exists.
But since the premises are trivially false (biological evolution is,
in fact, constrained by chemistry and physics), that's a moot point.
But as the rest of my post which you here reply to, yet cut out,
demonstrates, the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of
Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) actually
mathematically force the universe to diverge to infinite computational
power,
Nonsense. As Pauli would say, it isn't even wrong.

Post by James Redford
So far from physics constraining evolution, the known physical laws
actually logically force the universe to evolve to infinite complexity
and infinite intelligence.
Nice job moving the goalposts. What has this assertion to do with
*biological* evolution, which is, as I noted, constrained by chemistry
and physics
The fact that there are no examples of reptiles in transition stages to
birds, or mammals in transition stages to flying mammals, etc, alive today is
evidence that something (like God) had deliberate influence on evolution.
Otherwise why would it no longer be working as it did in the past?
What a load of garbage.Evolution is happening all around us.
He's also just plain wrong about transitional fossils. Archaeopteryx,
anyone?
Present your quotes of me mentioning fossils, or be revealed as a blatant
liar. I have mentioned Archaeopteryx in the past and the fact that there aren't
a lot more examples is support for what I pointed out.
There are a lot more examples.
Why can't you present a lot of them?
Post by Chris F.A. Johnson
Do a little research.
I'm doing research by challenging those of you who claim there are a lot of
examples to present a lot of examples. So far the research shows VERY CLEARLY
that you're lying and don't have any idea at all what you want people to think
you think you're trying to talk about. That's a much better way of doing
research than to try to support YOUR claim FOR YOU. LOL....the very idea of
doing that for you is HILARIOUS!!!
When discussing ["There are a lot more examples"] ...it's up to _you_, "mur", to be
informed -- not for others to teach you.
I've noticed that atheists never feel they need to support their claims, or
give any indication that they have any idea what they want people to think they

Athiesm does not involve making any claims.

Redford is an in-your-face, certifiable lunatic who reposts the same
unsolicited, mindless nonsense here with monotonous regularity.

He imagines that Tippler's nonsense is established science and uses
that as a starting point for even more mindless nonsense.

But Tippler assumes there can only be one particular outcome from an
infinitely branching set of futures.

Even though this makes its likelihood vanishingly small.

Redford then plucks a second particular outcome from his arse in
another infinitely branching set of futures beyond Tippler's imaginary
omega point.

So we have infinity^2 zeroes after the decimal point.

that any kind of God has, in fact, evolved yet, so at best they
would suggest that such a thing is possible, not prove that a God
exists.
WHAT sort of evidence/proof do you think there should be,
WHERE do you think
it should be, WHY do you think he should provide it, and WHEN do
you think he should provide or should have provided it if there is
a God associated with Earth?
The exact same objective evidence that persuaded _you_ that your
supposed god character exists.
There is none and it makes sense that there is not. That's one of the basic
starting lines atheists can't get as "far" as.
Thanks for admitting that you believe in your supposed god character
without a single scrap of evidence. <full sentence restored>
It's obvious and even an atheist should be able to figure it out
without having to have it explained.
I've a lovely bridge that I'm trying to sell.
Provide the verifiable evidence or again be revealed as a liar by your own
ineptitude.
You first, liar for god.

You certainly can type words.

One day, you might even learn to convey useful meaning with them.

In the meantime, please kindly FOAD.

Many thanks!

Don't flounder.

He's certifiable.

He posts the same cut'n'paste. unsolicited insanity regularly, and for
some reason expects it to be taken seriously.

He then follows it up with another round of much the same insanity.

Does he honestly not understand why he gets the same reaction every
time?

Although "honest" is word I wouldn't normally use around wither James
Redford or the other equally mentally ill "Scientific proof of God"
troll. George Hammond.

immortality--is inherently theistic, not only in a lowercase-G god

The fact that there are no beings in apparent transition from reptiles to

Post by James Redford
The concept of man being gods and becoming ever-more Godlike is simply
traditional Christianity, going all the way back to Jesus's teachings
(e.g., see John 10:34), that of Paul and the other Epistlers, and that
of the Church Fathers. In traditional Christian theology, this is
known as apotheosis, theosis or divinization. For many examples of
these early teachings, see the article "Divinization (Christian)",
Wikipedia, Apr. 14, 2015,
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Divinization_%28Christian%29&oldid=656379874
. Though this traditional position of Christian theology has been
deemphasized for the last millennium.
Indeed, the words "transhumanism" and "superhumanism" originated in
Christian theology. "Transhumanism" is a neologism coined by Dante
Alighieri in his Divine Comedy (Paradiso, Canto I, lines 70-72),
referring favorably to a mortal human who became an immortal god by
means of eating a special plant. For the Christian theological origin
of the term "superhumanism", see the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd
ed.), the first appearance being by Henry Montagu, 1st Earl of
Manchester, in his Al Mondo: Contemplatio Mortis, & Immortalitatis
(London, England: Robert Barker, and the Assignes of John Bill, 1636).
Moreover, Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology is a proof (i.e.,
mathematical theorem) demonstrating that sapient life (in the form of,
e.g., immortal superintelligent human-mind computer-uploads and
artificial intelligences) is required by the known laws of physics
(viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and
Quantum Mechanics) to take control over all matter in the universe,
for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and
for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both
processor speed and memory space) to diverge to infinity as the
universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point.
Said Omega Point cosmology is also an intrinsic component of the
Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of
Everything (TOE) correctly describing and unifying all the forces in
physics, of which TOE is itself mathematically forced by the aforesaid
known physical laws. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and
extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.
The Omega Point final singularity has all the unique properties
(quiddities) claimed for God in the traditional religions. For much
more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it
uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described
in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses

Thus, immortality is logically inseparable from the existence of
the capital-G God, since mathematically, immortality requires
the existence of either an infinite computational state or a
finite state which diverges to an infinite computational state
(i.e., diverging to literal Godhead in all its fullness), thus
allowing for states to never repeat and hence an infinite number
of experiences.
Something would have to preserve the sense of self of the
individual, and
somehow retain the sense of identity. From my position it seems
God would have to do that for himself and any other beings he
chose to do it for.
Post by James Redford
Consequently, transhumanism--if the goal by that position is
immortality--is inherently theistic, not only in a lowercase-G
god sense, but also in the capital-G God sense.
Interestingly, this also means that the existence of biological
evolution, far from demonstrating that God is unnecessary, is in
fact a logical proof of God's existence *unless* one posits the
additional postulate that there is a limit to evolution. Yet
there is no logical limit to evolution other than infinite
complexity; and there exists no empirical evidence that
evolution is finitely-bounded. Thus, to believe that evolution
has a finite cut-off would be to hold a belief without evidence,
and thus it would be an irrational belief.
The fact that there are no beings in apparent transition from
reptiles to
birds today, and very few fossil examples, is evidence that God
influenced evolution. The same is true for the lack of transition
species of all other types.
How do you know that?
It is in itself.
Is that meant to mean something?
Only to people who don't have faith that it doesn't mean anything.
To them it raises questions about what it does mean.
Thanks for admitting that you post nonsense.
I usually don't mind pointing out the obvious for you people, even
when there's between very little and no chance that you'll ever be
able to comprehend much less appreciate it.

there exists no empirical evidence that evolution is
finitely-bounded. Thus, to believe that evolution has a finite
cut-off would be to hold a belief without evidence, and thus it
would be an irrational belief.
The fact that there are no beings in apparent transition from
reptiles to
birds today, and very few fossil examples, is evidence that God
influenced evolution.
So you don't believe in evolution
Prevent your supposed evidence of that.

Most odd.
You can't comprehend the basic possibility that God infuenced
evolution.
Other people can.
What god would that be? The one you admit that you have no evidence for?

The fact that not one of you atheists have ever presented any idea that's
more intersting than "no" doesn't encourage me to look forward to reading what
any of you have to say about the possibility of God's existence and influence
because I know what it's going to be in advance. You may try to used different
words to express the same horribly restricted idea over and over and over and
over and over..............................but it's always the same. And it's a
possibility that I take into consideration also, but I consider MORE
possibilities than the one you people are restricted to. Then I also go on to
consider WHY you people are so horribly restricted, and also the fact that most
of you are ashamed to admit your own belief.

Thus, immortality is logically inseparable from the existence of the
capital-G God, since mathematically, immortality requires the
existence of either an infinite computational state or a finite state
which diverges to an infinite computational state (i.e., diverging to
literal Godhead in all its fullness), thus allowing for states to
never repeat and hence an infinite number of experiences.

If there's a God associated with Earth it's obvious that people have
different beliefs about him and refer to him in different ways. You for example
have great faith that he doesn't exist and refer to him as "what god".

I'm not persuaded that God does exist. Like you I consider the possibility
that he doesn't. But unlike you I can also consider the possibility that he
does, which is involves much more thinking than you're capable of in your tiny
little mental comfort zone. You like to think that you're capable of giving as
much thought as anyone else, but if you could you would. It's only because you
can't that you don't.

What sort of evidence are you imagining? So far not a single one of you has
been able to imagine anything respectable at all. None of you can imagine what
you think there should be, but you all think there should be something more than
there is. That absurdity is evidence to me.

It's because you can't imagine what you think there should be, or where you
think it should be, etc. Not one of you can imagine anything respectable. You're
convinced something should be somewhere, but have no idea what, or where, or why
it should be wherever.

Every one of you has PROVEN what I'm pointing out to be correct. How do you
think you're "teaching" anyone anything when you're entirely clueless about what
you're attempting to "teach" and can't pretend you're not even when asked
directly about it?

The FACT that none of you have any idea what evidence you think there should
be, or where, or why it should be available, but you ALL have faith that
something should be somewhere for some reason...LOL...is evidence of something
like Satan having influence on human minds. Your position is so idiotic that
only a very few people who are incredibly stupid should ever be in it, not lots
of people most of whom don't seem to be THAT incredibly stupid. The position is
so absurd it raises the question of what causes so many of you to come to be in
it.

possibility that he doesn't. But unlike you I can also consider the
possibility that he does,

What have I told you about that?
No answer.

tell you again?

What have I told you about that?
No answer.
