cloaca

I mean didn't we know this already, though?

Also Calvin is right

What if God was a chicken and dinosaurs were his chosen people, and we just happened to get the story right?

What if messages from god can't travel faster than the speed of light so we are receiving prophecy meant for long dead and far off civilizations

So He's all knowing, except for the laws of physics He created?

Ever paint yourself into a corner of a room?

Maybe we got one of those special ed gods

Hey now, its his first gig as a god, cut him some slack. Sure, he forgot to add special admin overrides to the physics simulation but he's doing the best he can to fix the mess he created and bring the project back on track!

You think every developer knows every single line of code they write?

He's omniscient. He knows EVERYTHING

*according to their storybook

Maybe he knows everything because he wrote it all but can't friggin remember 1/4 of it now that its been a few aeons?

Developers aren't all-knowing. But God supposedly is. That by definition includes knowing how everything he created works, and what everything is doing at any given point in time and space.

But you realize that's how the average person sees developers, so you can see how thinking god being omniscient is a bit of a fallacy?

If they don't need to travel faster than light why should they

Explains why worship leaders always devolve into that high pitched bugling-thing they do.

Speaking in tongues is just a dialup tone?
