Tony,-God is either above the laws of nature or he's not. If he's not above the laws of nature, then logically he's a part of the universe and is fully bound to its physical laws. God is "natural."-If God however IS above the laws of the universe, then--and only then--does he become abjectly unstudyable. He becomes "supernatural." -In terms of your game designer analogy, you, the designer, are limited by hundreds of factors.-1. Memory
2. Processor speed
3. BUS throughput
4. Inter-Device compatability
5. Computer language
6. System heat
7. Power consumption
8. GDDR memory-The level of contol you ultimately exert is created by a literally dumb, simple, and unintellgent automaton that has all the above (and many more) physical constraints--entirely beyond your capacity to [surpass]. You, the creator, are bound by--and cannot surpass--the physical laws governing the automaton your simulation is running on.-The only thing you can do is to run it on another machine, but all of those very real constraints move with you.-[EDITED]

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
