God is a position: I'm God's prisoner, and God to my prisoners.

Hi Radical_Libertarian, You told me:
So - who's right ? The determinists, or the acausalists ?
They are both right, a contradiction, yeah so what.
No, you are just like Niels Bohr, who's Copenhagen_Interpretation was
_Intentionally_ mute on metaphysical issues.
In _Contrast_, Einstein thought today's theories and technologies are
not the last word. If the past is any indicator,
theories and technologies will improve.
For example, his General Relativity explained exactly how
a clock with 10 ^ -16 second accuracy
ticks faster with a minute increase in altitude,
_Decades_ before it was empirically proven ! !

Newton couldn't to that... science marches on, Big Fucking Deal.
You concluded:
God can't play dice because real dice are trivial.
But he also must play dice, because absolute order is equally trivial.
He's damned is he does, and he's damned if he doesn't.
Nature, God, is not, not, _Not_ intrinsically random.
That's Einstein's postulate... and, quite unlike you an Bohr,
it bore _Much_ fruit.
By the way, the following is the correct definition of the word God,
not the one Einstein used:
God is a position: I'm God's prisoner, and God to my prisoners.
