Re:Just to play the devil's advocate... (Score 1)

This is really interesting, but it definitely does raise a few additional questions. In each of your examples, the 'God' has the ability to manipulate the world in any way he chooses, but in each case, 'God' is strictly bound by physical limits in its own world as well. Of course, having complete control over a 'universe' would make this little problem entirely undetectable to your 'subjects' (even if you can't type fast enough to make changes instantaneously, you can just turn back time, right?) but it does imply that the 'God' has to exist in some other universe, possibly with very different rules from our own. Sounds to me like this could be turtles all the way down...
