The only difference between your "omniverse generating system" and theism is that the latter, being more simple by virtue of fewer arbitrary contraints, has one more set of possibilities available to it--viz, universes that are not predetermined, universes having real freedom and genuine autonomy to participate in creating their own future(s).
Explain to us how consciousness is more simple by virtue ? I see that you evaded having to answer my questions entirely. And it seems your beliefs is simply resting on what is easier for you to grasp since you are intellectually lazy to the point where you can't deal with reality, or the problems with your argument.
Your claim to a set of more possibilities is irrelevant. You can't have anything come from a conscious being without first the possibilities that even allow for basic reactionary systems much less anything with dynamics that support cognitive functionality.. Your argument is self-collapsing. Consciousness is probably the most un-simple and complex thing you could have brought up in this discussion.
less susceptible to the standard atheist talking points
How about you actually properly address my posts.. It's funny that you choose to ignore everything and chalk it up as "Talking points"..
How convenient of you!
A volitional being which is not arbitrarily contrained in terms of knowledge and causal efficacy would be able to envision all possibilities
This is basically saying you are complete clueless and need to appeal to the "Incomprehensible" argument as an escape route from actually having to address peoples arguments to which you obviously can not deal with. Basically you are posting a circular load of incoherent nonsense.
Let's to an experiment here:
Try envisioning anything at all without information.. Try posting a reply here without information. Try responding or conveying a message. Try being conscious without information.. You see, there is a underlining failure in your argument.. And it's best understood by learning your ABC's:
Energy =/= information =/= cause
This is unarguable:
A: There can be no choice, or decision made without information
B: There can be no consciousness or awareness without information
C: One can not have knowledge without information
D: One can not do anything without information
E: One can not exist without informational value
F: One can not think without information
G: One can not even know one's self exists without information
H: One can not reply, respond, or react without information
I: One can not convey, send, or express a message without information
J: There can be no morals, ethics, or laws without information
K: One can not have or express emotions, or feelings without information
L: One can not have experiences, or experience anything at all without information
M: One can not have a place to exist in order to be existent without information
N: One can not Create, or Design anything without information
O: One can not have the ability to process things without information
P: Intelligence can not exist without information to apply
Q: No system, or process can exist without information
R: Cause and effect can not exist without information
S: Logic can not exist without information
T: Reason can not exist or things can not have a reason / purpose without information
U: There can be no meaning without information
V: There can be no value without information
W: There can be no capacity without informational value
Y: There can be no complexity without informational structure
Z: There can be no "I" without the information that gives I an Identity.
There is no determinism, volition, cognitive functionality, or the possibility of a conscious state without information. Without an already existing informational UNIVERSE (existence), a universe with an already existing complex adaptive system with feedback.
You can try to argue as you may about volition, but it's entirely irrelevant. Either answer the questions I presented, or concede.
