D. Chalmers on God - Dictionary of Arguments
I 87 God/Creation myth/Chalmers: everything that God had to do was to create the following facts: 1. Physical single facts 2. Facts about conscious experience 3. Natural laws 4. A fact of the 2nd level, which means "This is all." 5. An indexical fact about my localization. In the first instance, he will have created the laws of nature and then laws for conscious experience for economical reasons. It seems to lie beyond God's power to fix facts about my indexical circumstances. Another reason to be skeptical. >Facts, >Experience, >Consciousness/Chalmers, >Indexicality, >Laws of Nature, >Omnipotence, >Omniscience._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
