Think of one instant. It is just a point. There is no before and after in it.

Doesn't that mean that He could not do consecutive tasks, like decision and act?

Purpose, useful, etc... Consciousness does something. It cause something.

I agree. I agree.

I don't understand you. Can we agree that God is timeless?

There cannot be any sequence in a timeless state since the state becomes ill-defined. In this case God is decided and undecided in a timeless point.

I think we can understand timeless.

Yeah. God as a person does not exist.

You are either timeless or temporal. There is no other option. Timeless means that you are not subject to time. What do you mean with "God transcends ...

It doesn't matter how many assumption we have. Assumptions must however be coherent.

I agree with what you stated. That however is not a answer to question of this thread.

That is also an interesting question. Perhaps we needed very high level of intelligence to live in poor condition that we used to live. Now we are ric...

I don't think that the sense of self is create in order to allows us to perceive the world. That is off topic so lets please put it aside. I agree wit...

What do you mean with useful?

Deleted.

Because I think there are many mutations are needed in order that we have illusion of free will. The illusion of free will is carried by genes because...

Could consciousness be causally efficacious? It is mere illusion.

Illusion cannot have any functioning.

But all you mentioned is not possible to be done with single conscious process. For example, what is error and how we could distinguish it consciously...

That is a separate premise.

I doubt this. Think of Hell.

So what is the point of consciousness?

Well, I have to say that I am amused and confused.

So you entirely believe that conscious activities have no role in our lives?

I think that the probability for a neutral trait drops by time and become insignificant in a course million years for such complex phenomena, illusion...

Well, the another software is laws of nature. If we accept that then we see that there is either tension between laws of nature and conscious decision...

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with my comment? I don't understand your comment. Do you mind to rephrase?

Yes, I agree. But you then have the tension between body and consciousness which this leads to improbable situation. This was subject of another threa...

I think we need consciousness for adopting our subconscious mind to a stimuli so subconscious mind can perform a specific task automatically and prope...

They weren't frightening. They were ok to me.

So you believe that the feeling of free will is an illusion but it exists just because there is a stimuli for it?

I am male but I captured some demons' semen outside my body. It happen to me twice. The first was performed by Satan and the second one by a Friend/Br...

Worst than that, there could be a life after death!

Atemporal thing cannot communicate.

Why should evolution grant consciousness if there is no use of it? This is subject of another thread that I am going to open.

Searching for the meaning.

That is the issue that I am stressing too. Have you ever observe that you decide that you move your hand somewhere and your hand moves elsewhere. Our ...

My question is simple but it is puzzling. Did you get the puzzle?

Please read this post.

Yes.

Yes, they were individual I have never seen before. I don't understand this: "Out of body and near death experiences share a category with hallucinati...

We know that decision and consciousness are real. My hand goes where I decide and I am aware of that. No, I am saying that materialism is impossible i...

The problem that I am trying to highlight in OP is exactly due to existence of material and consciousness.

I mean the chance of finding an electron is bigger in a place that the wave function is bigger. Well, Schrodinger equation has two parts, left and rig...

God knew that they would fail. Why he should test them? I don't think that the story is a metaphor either. What is the message which in this story can...

I understand what you are saying here but the question is why should you try to fix the problem if you couldn't really help it to happen? It is always...

We are talking about self-punishment for what we have done. Is that right considering the fact that we couldn't really help it? Moreover what really h...

Or perhaps the better conclusion is that there is no God with foreknowledge since otherwise we are dealing with a paradox.

That is not correct. We always do what God knows and there is no conflict between God's knowledge and free will unless we are informed and wish to do ...

I think we are embedded in a physical state which we can be approached with others. I can stay in this state as long as I want if I am allowed. I am a...
