That which is effected by time and place - bodies

That which is effected by time only - souls

That nothing effects - god.

But this is very similar to modern thinking.

Citation required.

An ever existing universe of nothing is a three body problem

No it isn't. Nothing includes no bodies and "ever existing" means it's not nothing because it has (at minimum) a dimension of time. :scratch:

the result of which is the quantum froth, some of which gets a bit more complex and evolves into universes, some of which are complex enough to have life forms typing away. So the issues of determinism and freedom are resolved by building on Augustine’s ideas, replacing his connections of souls and Jesus Christ with complexity and cas.

Bullcrap.

Note to any mod: Is this a suitable topic for a General Science & Technology board? :ask:
