>>8528Pretty often the act of asking a question that can't be answered gives insight into why the question has no answer.
>>8555>>8579If god is not bound to the laws of physics then the only thing it implies is that our laws of physics are wrong.
For example, consider a universe living inside computer simulation. To inhabitants of the computer simulation, their world seems perfectly logical and natural to them. Everything can be explained, and they have formed a rigorous system of laws describing the interactions between simulation units in their simulation to near perfection. In essence, they have completely understood the algorithm that's generating their consciousness.
And then, the developer/owner of this pocket universe comes along, selects an apple, and changes its color from red to green by overwriting all the relevant bits in memory. To the inhabitants of the computer system, this is an inplexicable event indistinguishable from magic. They have no concept of memory, because they do not even have an understanding of the machine on which their (perhaps primitive) universe operates. They would not even be able to explain how the apple changed color.
It would immediately falsify all of their ideas about how they thought the universe worked. While their laws might seem perfectly rigorous, no matter how much they observe their natural world they are never able to reproduce this apple event nor explain it in any way they can relate to. At some point, they are forced to include an exception to their laws, like “apples remain the same color - except when they don't by will of a higher power”.
The laws of physics are only as valid as the predictions they deliver. As soon as they predict something that contradicts with reality, they must be discarded. It's impossible to fully prove something correct, only wrong. (Even our systems of mathematics)
