The existance of one god is impossible unless you deny its omnipotence. If god exist, and he is a being above our plane of exsistance, then we assume he exists throughout the universe. And monotheism states that there is one god. Having one thing exist once in an infinite quantity is a contradiction. as the chaos thery states, anything can and will occur if attemted an infinite amount of times. if god exists in an infinity then there are an infinite amound of "him". and if this god does indeed exist infinately then it is no longer omnipotent, it has no thoughts, it cannot react with the 3rd demension as we kno it. if something goes on infinetatly then it acends. the 3rd demension univers MUST be able to contain all within it, and an infinate cannot contain an infinate.

If our entire universe is a computer simulation, then wouldn't the creator of the simulation be considered a god?
Also, chaos theory doesn't state that anything can and will occur if attemted an infinite amount of times. An infinite sequence can repeat without exhausting all possibilities (consider the decimal expansion of 1/3 for example).

n e thoughts?
Why would there have to exist an infinite quantity of God, how does that reconcile with His omnipotence?
