age contra!
But now you must go against that conclusion.
"...result in a counter action we are not going to like."
You really think He is a malicious God, and an evil demon?
Sorry y'all if I was the one who turned the thread to philosophy instead of Physics. I would much rather it be physics. I dont think it was me and it was probably inevitable. Anyone got more on string theory and the article cited?
Not malicious, but selfish.God is whoever he is, so our wishes or stories Don't matter. The intelligence created in our particular box either passes the test or is cast aside. Intelligence is such a chaotic thing that getting it right is all but unpredictable, so what better way than to create a box where it emerges naturally and pick from the examples that you liked. By the way I read all the posts after I posted, not before .
I still like string theory because gravity popped out of it without any tinkering. Why else would Physicists spend 30 years chasing something like Abe's white whale?
