Why do some physicists deny the existence of god while believing in the multiverse? Unless they are doing it for ideological reasons like hot wheels over here?

Let's assume infinity exists.
This does not mean that God has to exist.

Now you may say
>But God has infinite powers
Well he could... or could not. We do not know whether he has infinite powers or not. In the sense that God can still be God, but with a finitely large number of powers. He could have so many powers that he wouldn't even be able to use them in the universe's life time. But he would still not have infinite powers.

But yes I would say it has an intelligence, infinite ones. We are a form of its intelligence, since we would be considered a part of it.

>> No.11991268

But infinity 'can' be defined. God cannot. So infinity is not the same as God.
Maybe infinity is a subset of God?

That's true for God. But infinity is just a mathematical construct. It has no character, no emotions, no morality.

We're getting more into theism and some philosophy. Just remember that, even the best of physicist cannot definitely say one or the other. There really is no prove, just speculations.

Its a mathematical one. And I don't wanna argue whether it's a feature of the universe or a model.

Niggs cannot see when you or me suffer. But God is supposed to be omniscient and omnipresent. So he definitely knows when you or I suffer.

>>11991336
We don't have access to anything other than mental constructs. There is no reason to think that infinity is less valid compared to something like a carbon atom. They are both mental constructs that we gain via sensory information and then label.

>> No.11991385

A carbon atom is not a mental construct. A carbon atom definitely exists. Are you talking about how we define a carbon atom? If yes, then that's a mental construct.

Infinity definitely exists as well. It falls out naturally from many equations that explain the universe.
There is no difference between our definition and the thing in itself when it comes to our perception. We do not have access to things in themselves, only the appearances of things in our minds.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if infinity is real, everything physically possible is real, which doesn't necessarily include god

Who said it did? Just because we do not have theories to explain the origin, does not warrant you to definitely state that the universe had that specific origin.

>Many theories in physics have mathematical singularities of one kind or another. Equations for these physical theories predict that the ball of mass of some quantity becomes infinite or increases without limit. This is generally a sign for a missing piece in the theory, as in the ultraviolet catastrophe, re-normalization, and instability of a hydrogen atom predicted by the Larmor formula.

I pity the godbois who seek the truth about the lies and inconsistencies that they have been exposed to throughout their lives from since their birth in some cases.
I however, do not have any sympathy for unintelligible babble from idiots who wish to justify their beliefs through any means possible by presenting their beliefs in a supernatural being as something that has any bearing on reality in any shape or form.
Belief in your supernatural being is incompatible with science and fuck off with your stupid ramblings.
