Default Re: Is there a God? If there is, does Sklansky believe in Him?

“I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension. God may be either a world-soul or a collection of world-souls. So I am thinking that atoms and humans and God may have minds that differ in degree but not in kind.”
Freeman Dyson

I am sure this is obvious, but in case it isn’t, I would just note that Dyson might appear to be saying when we die we will become God. Or that we are already God. New Age-ers,, it is my understanding, think this - that we can become God. I highly doubt that Dyson does.


The important word to not over look is his word “degree”. And this is compatible with “God created Man in His image.”
