The existence of such a dependency chain, for me, is good reason to believe complexity doesn't stop at thought, but I dont think the next step is necessarily God I guess Even conceiving of a hierarchy of substance is difficult, let alone measuring it. If matter is the base level of the hierarchy, then mind would arise from that, then ideas from mind, and, as you say, there's no reason to assume that God would be the next level. Not to mention that assuming that matter is the fundamental level could easily be flawed to begin with. Or that there is a linear hierarchy, when there could be a branching tree of substance. To get truly abstract, we could even conceive of a miscegenation of different branches of this tree to produce new branches or entirely new hierarchies. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltnafhjcUz1qmxswbo1_500.gif <cite>Xavier_On_High posted [p:953633363] in God could ...
