Thank you so much for your outstanding essay-post, dearest sister in Christ, and thank you for your encouragements!

I also really enjoyed the excerpts from Barr's article! The book does indeed sound like a feast.

Plus for some strange reason I have some deep-set, maybe intuitive idea that "random development," via the general situation of contingency in nature, is what introduces novelty and change in a natural system, preventing it from becoming completely "static" — which to my mind is practically indifferentiationable from the physical realization of thermodynamic entropy.

Seems to me that things would be rather dull if every event could be predicted.

Nevertheless, if there were one more expanded dimension of time - an observer from that perspective could accurately say to an observer in our 4 dimensions (proceeding on a time line) precisely what will happen next.

Yes, I see that, too. Bring on Paul J. Wesson's Five Dimensional Relativity and Two Times!

Thank you so much for your kind words of support, dearest sister in Christ — and for your excellent essay/post!

Which is why I beleive Christ had ot become man to experience our limitted viewpoints (As well as agreeign to be our propitiation) so that we could not say that God doesn’t understand how we feel. (I think that is osmewhere in the bible- or somethign to that affect)

Brings to mind Time Travel... say... if only in your own (earthly) life.. would be an interesting study.. To see many of the "random" events that happened to you.. might not end up being quite so random.. But precise events guided and guarded by the Holy Spirit or even a "guardian angel" or both.. And that many/most events in your life were precipitated by things your forebears did or didn't do.. i.e. like being born in China or the United States.. or other ugh!.. things/choice's made..

And the choise's made by you or not made by you guaranteed certain outcomes.. and those choise's locked in certain outcomes.. Same could be true of things that happened to your race, your family, your marriage, your children, your job(s), your diet, your qualia, your birth/conception/up bringing, your home life, your mistakes..

Time Travel of your life (at some future time) could be a study in blessing or curse determined by your own choise's.. chosing generational cycles or breaking those cycles.. My guardian angel (if I have one) must surely have a challenging job.. I should be dead (right now) many times over... Could be I have a very good angel.. that knows me better than I know myself..

Could be that NO human life is dull if all were known about that life.. All the intriques, dramas, people, and events in that life.. Its possible that not much is random in a human life.. but definite reasons for all the events.. Even reasons you are born in a particular situation, tribe or state..

If Adam and Eve were a reality.. How did one get born in a remote Amazonian tribe in South America?.. Could be a gripping story that journey..
