    Yeah, he was a follower of Copernicus. I wonder if they have expressed regret concerning the Copernicus case.

    God isn't one physical form. That's why some say "God is formless."

    What reasons do you have to believe in absolute free will?

    Up to them. But if God only formless and can’t have a form, we can’t speak of the omnipotence of God. Anyway, I didn’t say that God has only one physical form.
    I see no fun in creating an absolutely predictable world. I could expect such a boring thing from something like a robot, not from God. Unpredictability is what makes life so marvelous. If we can’t do something unpredictable, then we are terribly restricted, and it is impossible to say that God loves us.

    Yes.

    Yeah, I was just adding my thoughts.
    So you can't love something that feels what you do, even though you know how it will act?

    This is an impossible situation. Everything is able to unexpected behavior, it’s very hard to deny a gift of God. Although many people now are trying to be as predictable as possible because of the business or similar matters, the unconscious doesn’t allow them to reach the limit. The unconscious has such a drastic tool for returning people to the natural as serial nightmares :) Let alone total boredom.

    So it mostly depends on your view. As Heraclitus once said, everyday you see a new Sun. Though it is still the same, probably :)

    this was the most interesting part to me.... how what turned into the current church felt that the Gnostics were heretics and a threat, because they felt that spiritual knowledge came more from within than from authority figures/priests, that it threatend the whole formalized, mechanistic setup of a church. And how some 30+ gospels were chucked from being included in the Bible (gee, I wonder who has copies of most of these tucked away from prying eyes, hrmmm)
