How does being eternal explain God's sentience, or his sense of creativity, and beauty?

Question

A thinking mind can't be a stagnant energy, or an energy of random chaos, there must be intracasy and complexity to 'gods' design. If no one designed gods mind, and fine tuned it to be complete with rationality,knowledge, emotion and concept of morality? If it wasnt caused or designed is it that way by freak accident?

Answer 1

it doesn't explain his sentience



god just is and he is eternal

he is a spiritual being

Answer 2

It makes it a moot question- it's their last out.



"God is eternal, but even the universe is finite, so god is beyond the universe."



Okay...whatever to that.



If all of creation was caused by something outside the universe, in a multiverse type existence, then what? "God" could be as intelligent as a mouse who just stepped on the wrong miniature white hole in the multiverse - and everything really is an accident.



Take it a step further and you could hypothesize that what we do in the future starts our own big bang in the past. (because there isn't a past or future like ours as far as the multiverse goes. So, we are god. Or maybe it we are the fourth ripple down the line, and "god" is a guy taking a dump in a universe that created a universe that created a universe in a universe that we exist in. (Did I get that 4 levels away?)



Anyway, long answer made short - it's a cop-out.

Answer 3

If one could self-exist, why not two, three . . . infinite?



If there was beginningless beginning, how could beginningless beginning get to this point in time, based upon infinite regression?



If god is infinite, infinite means covering all and encompassing all, then there should not be anything outside of all. How, then, are we apart from him? If we are a part of him, punishing us is punishing himself!

Answer 4

It is pure luck that god is god, unless:

1. Some other god created him, or

2. Other beings, similarly situated, chose not to create stuff.

Answer 5

Oh, Honey, you can't know the mind of God dear. It's beyond our parameters. Please don't fret. It is what it is.
