If I were God, I would interact by being a loving friend. A voice in your mind that might help to point out your options at the moment. Help you to make a better decision than last time. I would never use force against you and I would always be honest with you. I would stay with you always. At a distance if you prefer but never gone completely.

I know for a fact that there will never be a definite answer to your question unfortunately :( If we knew how god would interact with the world, we could measure this interaction potentially. So far all measurements of quantum events are exactly random as predicted. But of course god could know that that is being measured and make sure it turns out random while it while it changes other quantum outcomes in a determined way to achieve a certain outcome and we would never know. However, why would a god try to hide so well? If a god can effect the outcome of every random event in physics, it should have influenced the path of the photons in the double slit experiment such that instead of the interference pattern, the outcome would show the name "Jehova" written on the screen and a lot more people would believe and pray to that god.

A hurricane was forecast and an evacuation was ordered. An entire neighborhood packed up and was leaving--one man didn't load up--his neighbors asked, aren't you leaving and he said no, God will take care of me.. the waters rose due to flood stage and boats were sent in but the man refused to leave saying, God will take care of me.. The helicopters came over but the man waved them off with a sign that read: God will save me.. He died.. At the pearly gates the man met God and he asked God, why didn't you save me? God said I had a warning issued, I sent in boats and then helicopters.. We all miss the signs that are here everyday--God puts everything in motion and it's up to us to make the best of it all--he won't miracle us out of problems, or stand in front of you with a daily personal communication--that's why it's called faith and we still have to exercise common sense..

You got the answer! Quantum world is non-deterministic. If God determines what happens at quantum level, combine that with deterministic but powerful ability of chaos theory, you can do everything! Even with a small quantum effect you can drive things crazy. That is a sufficient description of how God can intervene. Although it didn't talk about how future might affect present. But we got at least one answer in this episode. Awesome episode!

One can see the question from a different angle. Are there events, across religion and culture, where it is claimed that the universal creator interacts with humans? Yes, Near-Death Experiences (NDE). But why deal with ordinary people's experiences? God is for all people, and it is among them that interactions take place. Jesus was also the son of a carpenter, on earth. The notion that consciousness is not limited to the physical body and that an evaluation takes place is in line with Plato's thoughts. What NDE patients experience in 5-10 minutes is described, in general, as a unique very positive event that changes their lives positively for the rest of their lives. They want to stay in the light but return to their body of their own choice. The fear of death disappears. Researchers at the University of Virginia, and other researchers, are dealing with NDEs, so maybe you should pay them a visit to try to get closer to the truth.

God is the world so anything is possible.

How about imagination? What if we are actually exist inside God Consciousness? That "space" Of Nothingness or Existence is God itself? Exactly! The Worlds is merely an illusion of existence... All we can say about reality is just about God Imagination.. The real thing (Real Being Consciousness) is just God itself.. We are all servant for His Existence.. i think what we call life or reality is just fragmentation of something more big/great that we not aware of that.. God is Impersonal also at same time personal, at least in Human Mind/perspective.. (Maybe all reality is just exist in God Consciousness.. The World we life in is just small part of His Consciousness) That means, if there a God.. That God is must be active, rather than Passive.. To Sustain all existence and all existed existence literally not wipeout/evaporate in existence/reality.. (That Means.. What we call God Always Observing us, in the same manner it same for "participants" Of God that active in action guide/sustain us to still exist... Rather than just "observing" But not do anything, or not effect anything) It implication that God eternally "create" us.. (Just like sun "eternally" Emanating light, or like human persist/hold a form of imagination in mind) .. Personally i don't like deistic God that "ignorance" After he create something... Because there is no after or beginning for God Consciousness.. So, God must be Active because naturally Servant(creation)Always needed His Existence/His Participant/His Presence.. To being exist. Yes He is Observer "outside" Spacetime, but He Also "Participants" In another sense of think in the motion of Existing Spacetime.. But are you think there is a something outside of God Existence(God Consciousness)? Personally I don't think so, because God is The One Who Consciousness in the first place.. So nothing can escape and exist in outside Of His Existence(His Consciousness).. Exactly! The Worlds is merely an illusion of existence... All we can say about reality is just merely God "Imagination/Projection" about Himself .. The real thing (Real Being Consciousness) is just God itself.. We are servant for His Existence.. Word "imagination" In this case is not what we call and think about imagination of human being that just "imaginary reality that not beneficial/effect in reality" .. In some sense of manner it mean God need us to exist for knowing Himself or fulfill His Purpose... In the Mind Of God, Maybe He Thinking About... Why I Exist? For What I Exist? How to Fulfill my existence? .. So we are exist because God Think or aware About His Existence.. We Are Participants of God Existence.. We are exist because God Aware Of Us.. That Means.. God is Observer and Participants at same time.. In the other sense of manner we are even didn't exist... So what we call "God Observing us outside of spacetime" Is nothing more than God Self-Awareness, Self-consciousness about Himself.. So what we are? We are only Knowledge that God be found about Existence Himself.. That Means, Deistic God is not even real.. Because God Always active to Knowing What He to Know from Himself..this outcome of knowing Himself is what we call reality .. Step by step of existence that reveal/become reality.. From nothingness (in the perception of human being) but in the fact(Presence Of God Consciousness), Nothingness there is not even exist... That it.. To be know something, sometimes we must forget something.. In the case, God Forgetting Some Of His "Existence/Essence" In the manner of servant (human, nature, spacetime, etc). .for example a Servant Hungry or need something, so God can fulfill His Grace with it.. A servant finite, so God becomes infinite outcome for that finite existence... Or in the manner what i don't know.. God simulating Himself Through Existence Of Servant (All things)... Maybe God say in His Consciousness... What I can give? What purpose of me? What if? What they think about me? What they call/talk/spoke about me? What they need? And what I can fulfill? I have abundance of life, abundance of existence, expression and experience.. I need to share with! So we "eventually" Exist. Word/Consciousness Of God about Himself equal to all existing.. But at same time not equal to all existing.. Because what we call existing is just face of God.. Just "fragmentation" Of His Existence.. God Transcend all existing.. God forgetting about some atribute His Infinite Essence so finite being exist.. Finite being exist to fulfill another face of His Majestic infinite Existence.. In the sense of manner we are "God" That forgetting infinite reality.. Sometimes Human mind is more than a body or earth or universe.. You see it? Because in the first place we "eventually" Are God.. But at same time we are not God itself. . . All reality is merely God Actualization, Realization And Manifestation about Himself.. Are we life in a Virtual Reality? That God gift to us?to experience? Yes.. World's is literally a Virtual Reality.. (An artificial reality, that mean what we call reality is not even exist in first place.. There is Only God Consciousness that literally/actually/really exist) Look at this verse, it sign or proof that maybe this life is exactly just a Virtual Reality.. "Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation. And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.

Well, He used to do big spectacular miracles, like destroying cities, turning a woman into a pillar of salt, or raising the dead. Lately, though he seems to manifest in trivial matters, like helping to locate keys and revealing parking spots, or statistical anomalies, like having a few survivors of terrible accidents. He may not be dead, but He is certainly missing in action.

Closer to Truth should have an intimate interview with Mauro Biglino.

God is the Life itself (I am the life!), organizing, transforming, realizing itself (I am what I will be!). This "subject of knowledge" intervenes on itself, for example with science, with religion or with natural catastrophes. For that we are something like "living building bricks". In both, in science and religion this subject steps each in a special way next to itself, for self intervention, for reason of self transformation and realization. 😉 And so, that's the reason God can be there for everyone like there is no other, and that's the reason God sees everything through all eyes, and that's the reason you hurt God if you hurt someone, because God is in everyone!

Thank for your effort to find the truth! so nice.

God’s sole role is to let all possibilities play out. There is no purpose to intervene. All possibilities must play out in order to gain new information. The notion of good or bad is irrelevant. Both are equally important to act as ingredients to gain information and thus a higher level of consciousness whether that is god or a collective conscience.

If you analyse the responses, you might find that the scientist-theists aged more than a threshold (say 70-80) tend to tilt more towards the traditional concept of God. Is it more of a comfort factor rather than genuine enquiry? Could be explored further...

Does the physical universe present itself as "closed and complete" or as vast and inscrutable. Is a reflection in a mirror the result of "photons bouncing off larger atoms" or a mysterious interaction of consciousness itself. Faith is described as belief, but is it? Isnt faith an absence of belief: a trust that isn't a deliberate act? A blank spot in our activity, mental and physical. A place for "superposition"?

God or what ever term you would like to use will reveal herself/himself to you, if you simply forget everything you think you know, while gently training your ego to be quiet and still, so that you can recieve. (Be just like an antenna, this is imperative) You must whole heartly seek a real relationship with something you only think you dont know (A weird concept, I know). It is not easy and takes a completely open heart/mind and a genuine willingness to submit to wanting to know something bigger than any of us. Your skepticism is healthy and is the first step to finding. One day when you least expect it you will know and it will be so clear. A very wise person once said," Seek and you shall find". This is real and true but you must do the work i.e., "The inner work". Enquiry into theology, philosophy, history, science and arcane knowledge embedded in the various traditions can help you a lot in this quest. Everyone finds in diffrent ways, but once it is revealed there is no getting away from it, it is impossible. When you know you will not be able to explain it or prove it. You will be just confused and amazed at what has always been in you, in front of you, and all around. Hard to believe I know! Even harder to believe is that what ever you want to call it is completey devoted to you. If you learn to empty yourself even just a litte you can be filled with more than you ever wanted or imagined materially or spiritually. Once blessed with the knowlege of your identity you too will carry the wonderful burden of knowing, feeling seeing and witnessing, now wanting nothing more than to just share it with others who cannot quite see yet. Not an easy task, but worth it! Best wishes and good luck!

It basically comes down to “free will.” An unimaginable being that was here before time and will be here after time, bestowed upon us a gift that has given human kind the ability to establish it’s own God.

@@wallyr.7854 that’s my fault, let me clarify. Free will is a made up term just like god(s) are made up being(s). I no longer believe your god, their god or any gods exist. Also, save the apologetics. I was a Christian for 21 years. I’ve heard it all. And it’s crap. I’ve accepted my mortality like an adult.

If God exists, God interacts with humans by making us think about God. Therefore, God intervenes as a trigger for the intent, and this intent guides our behaviors. The act of thinking towards something, in this case God, is an interaction, a connection between what is thought and the thinker. It doesn’t matter if you are a theist or an atheist, both are thinking about the existence of God, one to believe it, the other to reject it. Even if you never pay attention or think about God, it doesn’t matter. You know God is present, God is not something alien. So, my question is: why does the creator of “something” needs that this “something” think about its creator? Is that the reason why we are looking for the theory of everything?

Not enough memory? Just a lucky guess.

By definition “Interaction” implies time, the continuous flow of events we humans are deeply embedded in. The question is: why God should be bothered by time? If time (and the perception of it) is a peculiarity of the existing entities, including humans, is most probably a creation of God as well. Moreover, if we consider reality as a whole, including time as a dimension, everything is already written: there’s no need to imagine God’s intervention, ‘cause it world be just a perception of ours, nothing more. Not that different from our perception of the so called “free will”….

There is a verse in the quran👇 " we will show them our signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this( the god Allah and his book Quran) is the truth. (Quran chapter 41:53) This so called modern scientists, theologians, thinkers every one is still so baffled, confused and puzzled by the realities of the existence so that they cannot refute the existence of an all powerful creator and sustainer for our universe.

The question of a spiritual being interacting with physical reality implies a long-standing dualism between the two. Very Cartesian and Western. But what if Thales was right and "all things are full of gods?" Or just One transforming into anything desired? I offer the following candidates for God: - Spectacles worn in the interviews. - The stained-glass tree in the background. - Goose the Cat in Captain Marvel. - Alanis Morisette in Dogma. - Random-seeming noises edited out of the final production. - Wonder Woman. - Maybe Borges was right and God underwent sacrifice so a little of God could live in all of us (and in everything we encounter). --Thanks for posting these conversations.

Robert, if you are reading these comments time to time. I have one singular question I want answered and would like to see an episode on. Many in the spiritual traditions, especially buddhist traditions claim that consciousness is the ultimate "ground" of reality.

Most likely, God responds to prayer. If a person prays for wisdom to solve a problem, insights might be provided, and the problem might be solved correctly. If a person prays for courage to resist evil, that courage might be increased by the act of prayer. If there is a personal God who communicates with people, as I think there probably is, then God is hearing the pleas of billions of human beings at each instant and attempting to harmonize the best interests of each so that they will incline toward justice, mercy, charity, peace, and other virtues. It may take years to harmonize interests of willful people, and many will not care to do right, so all prayers cannot be answered. Or perhaps prayers are answered in unsuspected ways. A group of farmers goes to church and prays together for rain to end a drought. The rain never comes, and the drought continues. But the farmers, in meeting together, decide to form a cooperative project to irrigate their fields by pooling their resources to drill a very deep well. God did not directly intervene in bringing water to the drought-stricken fields. Or did He, by calling the farmers to gather under His roof?

Your difficulty Mr. Kuhn is that you are using human brain's way of thinking to figure out how the creator of this brain, God, intervene in universe He created. If the whole universe with its physical and biological laws were created by God (and we can never understand how), human can never understand how God is running it. The founder of Islamic Maliki Mazhab once said: We can understand that God is controlling the Throne that He created but understanding how He is doing it is beyond human comprehension.
