Askew

The egg was a cool read, my eyebrows duly raised at the correct moment, however if 'God 'is a perfect and timeless deity, it would require a perfect and 'sinless' entry into being, being born doesn't factor, much less so being born out of experiencing all of the good and evils of the imperfect man.

If man was indeed corrupted shortly after his inception on this planet, and the whole mechanism of forgiveness and metaphorical 'rebirth' as a new man is necessary in order to enter heaven then I cannot see the egg 'hatching' into a God because not all of is pure, some of it's fabric ended unrighteously and in many cases wholly evil.

If a man is required to accept a saviour and be cleansed of this 'sin' to even be accepted in the presence of 'God' then he cannot in my opinion die imperfect and still serve as a building block to form the perfect being because no matter how well his actions while compiling the lives within the egg are balanced out in terms of good lives for evil, the fact remains that the sum of all parts doesn't wash 100% white without intervention.
 
I agree with your points about timescale, I suppose if time only exists within it, maybe it is just being rendered like an edited video, all paths chosen and accounted for, just playing out according to the length of the project.

Exactly Askew. Ya know, it's amazing. I've never seen that version of the argument before. That is great. 

I actually read something interesting around the time I posted it. It was called "The Egg". 

Here is the post on LTT about it: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/140925-the-egg/ (Read it first, if you are interested. Then continue.)

I find that interesting. However, I disagree with part of it by nature. It makes sense at the same time. Ultimately, the only evil we could do in such a universe is to ourselves. Therefore no wrong is ever truly done, because we (Or rather, "I" in this case) have done it to ourselves (Me in this case). 

The thing I disagree with is that, as it says, time is not "a thing" outside "The Egg". If that is so, we wouldn't go through reincarnations in a linear path. From outside the egg, everyone would be born and die simultaneously, which means that encounter with "God" can't happen. However, it also means that there would be no reincarnation, in a sense because you need linearity for reincarnation (i.e. I was this person, then I was reborn as this other person.). However, this doesn't break the premise of the story. It only changes how it comes out actually occurring from our perspective.

I really liked it. I suppose I do so because of selfish reasons though. It basically means that, in the end, when all of the split conscious of our being comes together, I will get to experience everything I ever wanted and more (on top of a lot of things I never wanted to experience). All the everything that is our universe that humanity ever knew would be known to us. That would be epic. 

Of course then we also have to know the experience of every tragedy and pain, but also every miracle and joy. I just really like it.
