Long before our God began his creations, he dwelt on a mortal world like ours, one of the creations that his Father had created for him and his brethren. He, with many of his brethren, was obedient to the principles of the eternal gospel. One among these, it is presumed, was a savior for them, and through him they obtained a resurrection and an exaltation on an eternal, celestial world. 8 Then they gained the power and godhood of their Father and were made heirs of all that he had, continuing his works and creating worlds of their own for their own posterity—the same as their Father had done before, and his Father, and his Father, and on and on.

Has nothing to do with the perceptions of man? ... Do a Google search on ‘the Copenhagen Interpretation’. I find it odd that you would so nealry quote deBroglie yet not understand how perception and the collapse of the wave function are intertwined.
This is from LDS.org. Anyone want to defend it?
How the hell did I get on your ping list?
TAKE ME OFF IMMEDIATELY.
People on Other Worlds may have put you on the list
Whoever has me on your ping list: TAKE ME OFF NOW!!!
It sure seems to be that all the FR mormons would be on here high-fiving each other with the indication that Mitt will step up to "save the Constitution"...and get stepped on by Obama in November.
I shall. Heaven is watching this race, They all (God included) do not want another non-Christian as President.
“Oh?
GOD seems to have used non-believers in the past to get His will done!”

You could of been nice. A loving reply, you choose it.
After today’s news, unless there is a surprise He will use a non-believer.
You think about everyone, at one time, they were someone’s sweet innocent child.
“What did I do wrong; not to get one of those?”

I am with you on this Elsie, struggling with a teenager who
is questioning, rejecting the faith at present. My sister
and I have been praying a novena for our sons.
You were on Resty’s ping list on her profile page before she got zotted. Cut and paste is a wonderful thing.
Who is “Resty”?
I don’t recall ever getting any ‘pings’ from him/her.
At any rate, please take my name off your hijacked ping list.
Thank you,
panaxanax
Nowhere did I say that it was.
Take me off your ping list, please.
Restornu. Remember her? She sent out a lot of pings to the list and you were on her list.
Now why aren’t any of you Mormon defenders actually DEFENDING THE ARTICLE??!?!
It is a copy of Resty’s ping list. She made the mistake of keeping it public.
It has everything to do with the perceptions of man.
Thank you for the link. I have only a minimal grasp of it. Mainly because it makes sense that there is a limit to how small something can be.
OTOH there is no limit to how big something can be. Our Creator's "universe" could be a centillion to the centillionth power larger than our "universe(s)".
I sometimes feel claustrophobic.
I am merely trying to express the idea that nothing of the Creator is of our universe(s). The Creator caused our universe(s) and the laws of physics to exist. The Creator can manipulate our universe and perceptions -- as a video game programmer does.
What the Creator had done made us and all that we perceive possible and on and on for as long as the Creator wants -- but only in our perception do we and our universe(s) exist. (Small comfort for someone suffering, I know.)
Thus nothing of ours exists in the Creator's "universe" anymore than video characters' world can exist in our universe except as electrical waves in a computer.
Some have formed religions casting our Creator as man-like and of our universe(s). They wished to do good and many have done very well indeed.
If I were on her list, and she is no longer here, why do you insist on adding me to YOUR list? Not at my request, for sure. So take me off it, Ignatz.
"confirming God to be the energy source behind the Universe. . . 'That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a Superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God' -- Albert Einstein"
Superior reasoning power revealed in the incomprehensible universe did not come from some stupid movie. I do not have the eloquence of a scientist but I certainly was not describing a movie.
LOL, stir up the nest.
It’s not MY list and I pinged you because as a Mormon defender I thought you might be interested and willing to defend this article, especially since many LDS claim the “Church” never taught the doctrine.
It is what I do best, ‘zilla.
