Is life an illusion
lareli:
Morpheus in the movie The Matrix trying to explain to the character Neo that they are in a computer program and its not 'real'... Neo asks "this isn't real?" Morpheus replies "what is 'real'? How do you define 'real'?.. If 'real' is what you can see, what you can feel, what you taste... Then 'real' is just electrical signals interpreted by your brain.."
We are all made up of atoms. Atoms are mostly empty space. I've heard that if you were to compress a human being down at the atomic level and get rid of all the empty space, a human would be about the size of a baseball.
If everything is made up of atoms then when scientists study atoms, it is atoms studying themselves!
Two atoms never touch. They never physically touch. That means you and I have never actually 'touched' anything. When I'm typing on a keyboards the atoms on my fingers get close enough to the atoms which make up the keyboard and the resistance between the atoms of my finger and the atoms of the keyboard cause the buttons to move...
Much like in the movie The Matrix, some scientists believe we are less than a generation away from creating computer simulations of 'real' life that will be indistinguishable from 'real' life... This begs the question then... Can we say for sure that we are not already living in a computer simulation/virtual reality right now?

Hi Largeli,
I personally don't believe life or anything in it is an illusion
but what I have wondered if everything in Gos creatons is inside of God or outside of God Acts 17: 28
Either way, everyrime I hit my head, the pain I feel seems real to me.
God bless all.

That's an interesting thought Rick. When you say 'inside of God or outside of God' do you mean like inside or outside of His mind?

Time. I also wonder if 'time' is an illusion. How do you define the 'present'? How long is the 'present'? As soon as it happens it's already in the past.
Yesterday doesn't exist. It did exist yesterday but it doesn't exist today. It's only a memory. Tomorrow doesn't exist. It will exist tomorrow but not now..... Or is everything (past, present, future) all part of an unbreakable 'present'... You can't separate past present and future, so is it all one?

Yes ,Largeli, thats what I meant , I thought about the entire universe existing inside of God and nothing exist outside of God.
God bless.
