dhw: I have suggested an infinite number of universes before the big bang.-I think we can suppose an infinite number of universes in past eternity if we presume first cause is eternal. One universe at a time, with one set of humans at a time. I still stick to the premise that we can only impute to God only what we know He does, and no further, from the one example we know.- -> dhw: I have not invented any form of intelligence. I can only speculate on possible forms that others have proposed, and explain why I do not believe in any of them: 1) your God; 2) a panpsychist form that evolved within changing matter; 3) a chance combination (after an endless history of combinations) that gave rise to organic life, prior to which there was no intelligence.- You have invented. Pansychism presumes inventing intelligence, in your scenario, as evolution progresses.
