It stands to reason that a being that created order from chaos and gave form to the unformed would plausibly enjoy creating a universe that was internally consistent.
I don't understand why the universe needs to be mysterious or inconsistent to be created. I don't understand why it can't be (or at least seem to be) billion of years old for that matter.
- MR4D 9y agoI think you nailed it. To me, God is about the question of “why” and science is the question of “how”. That being said, I think God has to be a programmer - it’s the most efficient way to create something huge (the universe), while being predictable, and therefore knowing “everything”. The universe is just a huge - ok, really, really huge - state machine. And the programmer who wrote it can predict it’s state at any point of time.
