It was craaaazy! I’m borrowing Oathbringer from my friend soon, and I’m excited, because I love Dalinar. No, I haven’t… but there’s definitely a pattern to it, even if Sanderson doesn’t have a meaning behind it. I’ll have to think about it.

@thearcaneaxiom

Good points again, but the whole thing with numbers, you’re starting at one. God didn’t start. He is outside of time, and by eternal, I mean we perceive Him to be. He exists outside of time, so in our eyes, he never began and never will end. It’s not that he’s inside of time, he is outside of it, which means He literally can’t…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo @thearcaneaxiom @godlyfantasy12 @anyone else involved

Sorry, I haven’t been very active on here. But I have a question I’ve been pondering for some time and I would love y’all’s opinion on it.

I ave seen/heard of several studies and article about kids leaving the faith once their adults. I’ve heard various theories about it and…[Read more]

Aah this is great, I’m in the worldbuilding stage rn!! 😀 Will probably sprint on here a LOT.

@godlyfantasy12

…I’m no expert XD Honestly I just give my worlds unique aesthetics in my head, then try to expand on each of the details. Also symbols. I love symbols. Aaaand that’s like all I’ve got XD

@thearcaneaxiom

I LOVE Sanderson’s lectures!…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

1. The reason God is exempt of being caused is that the only things that need a cause are things that began to exist, because eternal things logically could not have a cause.

2. It doesn’t have to prove that God created eternity. We can’t. Not scientifically at least. Science deals with what we can test, and we can’t test the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @orangearmadillo good points but we mustn’t forget God’s plan of salvation either!

Jesus said in John 3-5:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second tim…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Good points, but I do think there’s an answer to all of them.

1. God of Gaps) For volcanoes, we discovered a cause for it other than a god. But what caused the cause for the volcano? With the God of Gaps theory, maybe there is some object or substance besides God that could create a universe, but what caused that to exist?

2.…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Ah, I see. Not quite a riddle, then. How would you answer your own question?

@thearcaneaxiom
You did say that ‘no cat’ has zero tails, didn’t you?😄 Clearly, I am not a riddle person. This is bringing flashbacks to my Mom’s riddle phase when I was younger, goodness. Do you write riddles yourself?

@thearcaneaxiom thx for the advice!! Yea a lot of what I create is inspired by other things but I make it waaay different XD

@euodia-vision YESS so many things!!

Also yea, probably just focusing on one aspect is a good idea, but it’s just soooo hard lol.

@keilah-h

Honestly, I laughed aloud after reading that XD I didn’t even think about it 😀

@thearcaneaxiom

Well, the evolution we see in real time is evolution in regard to change within a kind, not change of kind. We have never seen in fossil records nor in person a single change of one creature to another creature. We can also look at…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Good points. I would say, based on your response, that even if God is somehow material, the atheist still has one problem. If the atheist says, “The Big Bang caused the universe,” I would respond, “Who created the Big Bang?” They have the same problem that Christians supposedly face, but here’s the difference. There needs to be a…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Hi ArcaneAxiom! Thanks for the welcome!😊

In my opinion, (don’t hate me for this!😄) when worldbuilding takes center stage it can read like a text book. I do appreciate worldbuilding and rigorously defined rules, especially the work that goes into them, but they’re not aspects I’m drawn to in a book. I still believe in keeping…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yes, my sister made a forum for our book anyway.

I agree that there’s a lot more to it. But they are nothing in comparison to reality in my opinion. They are just discovering more mathematical facts that could possibly prove that in some other reality, hyperbolic or spherical geometry exist. The mathematical laws we see describe…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

So…

I don’t believe that God created Himself. I believe that He is immaterial and does not need to be created. Just like concepts aren’t be produced by labor– they just exist. He also created time, which means He exists in the past, present, and future all at once. So, He didn’t exist “forever”, at least not how we often mean…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yes, that is what I meant about soft world building, and yes, I do very much like harsh extremes or seemingly doomed situations XD (generally it works out in the end though).

About the WIP, I’m wanting to start one, but my main focus is a trilogy me and @Solfyre , my sister, are writing. It has lots of wasteland, so I guess it…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I like math and Biblical studies too!

I’d say hard world building, that way it can’t be interpreted the wrong way at the start of the book and cause confusion in the future.

Well, I really like the idea of dystopian areas. Wasteland or volcanic areas, or even on a moon.

Here’s my take on that last question. If God were to not…[Read more]
