I'm on my way to bed, but I just saw something on Slashdot which got me wondering a few things about Creation again... OK, ever since I was a child, I always wondered: If God made the universe, then who made God? (That's the classic question.) What if Heaven wasn't actually the forever-and-ever afterlife after life, but only the next stage of life? Can you die in Heaven and go to Heaven Heaven? Can you do something bad in Heaven and go to Heaven Hell? Can you do something good in Hell and go to Hell Heaven? If they exist, are Heaven Hell and Hell Heaven the same thing or different things? Can you die in Heaven Heaven and go to Heaven Heaven Heaven? etc. If God dies (assuming he was created by a higher-order god), does He go to God Heaven or regular Heaven? What if this Life now here on Earth that we live is actually a Heaven for a previous life we lived as something else? Do we take our memories from Earth with us to Heaven or is it like reincarnation and when we arrive in Heaven we can't really remember who we were on Earth? --Todd

See _To Your Scattered Bodies Go_ (and the rest of the volumes) which I think has an interesting take on this. Farmer is a bit of a hack and tends to take about 2 books more than needed to get to the point, but this is some of his better stuff. (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) God invented time, space and physics as a way for us to live. Nobody made God, He's been around forever, in as much as forever can exist without time as a reference. (...)
