If I’m created in the image of God does that give me permission to build my own universe? If I can program a Universe and have taken into account every possibility am I living up to that title of being created in His image? The more I think about programming and God and the world the more I want to make a perfect simulation. I keep thinking about things I can incorporate and I know I could pseudo code it but I doubt that for a while I’ll be able to actually code it (due to restrictions within computers). But who knows.
One thing I can’t figure out is how to program freewill. Intellegence is easy because its just memory. Personality is a tad trickier but it can be done. But how do you program free will? That’s one thing that escapes me.
I also don’t know how to go about the UI aspect of it. My universe will probably just be text based but very in depth. Like to the atomic level. I’ll be starting with atoms inside time and working upwards to individual cells and the laws of physics. I’ll keep posting.
Like really gross. Look at yours. Its probably gross. The crap in the keys. Blah.
I want my rubber keyboard. I don’t know why I don’t bring it to work. its clean. This one’s far from it.
Guess what! We’re all programs. I’ve decided and I’m sure of it. The human DNA takes up 3 GB of space and is essentially written in binary. Its made up of 4 amino acids which can only be paired specifically, meaning only 2 combinations. This is just like binary with its 1s and 0s. So that means that the whole DNA of a human could be said to be a program written in binary. That’s really cool. I’ll post more thoughts on the subject as they come.
Wow. People that have never used a Mac are sooo timid of them. I’m listening to the Tech next to me talking about the computer with the customer and she’s dropping the word ‘Mac’ and ‘Macintosh’ every two seconds! She’s like ‘lets restart that mac computer’. haha. n00bs.
I think I found the layout I want to use for my site next year. I’ll try finish making it and then when I upload it to a host (i’ll look for a crappy free one first to see if I like it) then I’ll post a link. Then i’ll post a link later for the real website when I get the bugs and ideas worked out so that I’m not paying for a domain with a half a website on it.
Anyway. Over and out.

No food and no sleep makes you a hungry grump.
I’ve just realized that there’s a HUGE! difference between the smartest person (people) on earth and the not-so-smartest.
I’m not even talking about people born with dispositions or diseases or problems. Just the people that were born normal and given the same possibilities for school and still, at the end of it all, came out an idiot. And compare these people to the University level mathmaticians and engineers who live, breathe, eat and sleep knowledge. Now I know there are like 9 intelligence types, not just math and english. But these ones are the ones that require the most cognitive (this could be argued) involvement. Most of the other intelligences (musical, spatial etc) rely heavily on math (music - beats are a division of time and keys are based on a 12 based numerical system that uses the pattern of 1,3,5,6,8,10,12,1 for a major scale; spatial - relies on vectors and speeds and other laws of physics to be understood). There’s evidently an enormous difference of intelligence between the smartest and dumbest people. But its all subjective. So…
Now try to imagine God’s intelligence. He knows ALL things, not just has a partial understanding of some (or most I guess), but ALL things. He knows ALL the laws of physics, not just the ones visible to us. So, some people may be strive for Omniscience, but he IS, by His very own nature, Omniscient.
Does that mean that smart people are closer to God than dumb ones though? I guess it would depend on if they know the one vital Truth….
Changing workstations at work let me post again! WOOHOO!
So, right now my schedule consists of work, school, Alyssa, sleep. BUT I’m lucky and get to add a fifth item (which may take away from the forth, who knows). MORE SCHOOL!
Stream offers a program called Stream U. Basically, you have an array of courses you can study from and complete the work and in the end you can recieve a certificate for each of the programs you complete. These same courses would cost roughly $300 a course at Loyalist, but I get them free. And I can actually use the certificate on resumes and such. So, on my agenda is i-Net+, Network+ and Linux+. Then if I finish them, I’ll do Security+. That should be enough training to get a decent job as some low level IT somewhere if I ever need to. Plus I’ll learn alot which is cool.
In other news, I went to the mall today and saw Alyssa there(I knew she was there, that’s more or less why I went). While she had to talk to her boss I tagged behind her mom at Old Navy. When we were in the boys section and she was looking for clothes for Luke, Alyssa’s little brother, I happened across a sweater I liked that was on sale for $11.25. Even though it was in the boys section, the XL still fit well. SO. I have it on me now
haha. Its good to know I can fit it boy clothes. Its probably less money than men’s haha.
Well. I should work. And do some Stream U while I work. My goal for today is to get my AHT (average handle time… the time it takes me to fix a customer’s problem) down since its at like 3 times what it should be.
Farewell.
Ooo. Pee ess. I started emailing Pastor Steve again. He’s really smart and I’m hoping he’ll be available for discussions at some points. I’d like to learn as much as I can from him in addition to what I’ll learn from Pastor Kevin. Should be good
I almost wish I would have picked a differnt title for my site here. I want to start including Philisophical concepts that I’ve been learning/thinking about but N3wbNews doesn’t exactly sound like it covers it. I suppose I’ll make technology my priority and talk about Philosophy whenever it pops in my head.
Right now I’m reading about Molinism. Basically, in its most basic form, its the belief that not only does God know all the thruths (like, the sky is blue, or, a cannot be b and c at the same time) and all of people’s choices at the present, but also (this is the main argument of it) that He knows what any given person would do in any given situation. That He knows all the possibilities under any circumstance and what choice would actually occur. Its really cool. I want to find better sites or books about it.
Also, naturalism and how it doesn’t make sense is among topics I’m discussing on TheologyWeb. Check out my links page to find Tweb if you want.
