Tsvi's argument about the likelihood of the "universe creating God" or the "beginning creating God" is similar to @Lincoln Cannon's "New God Argument." Though of course their writings are much different. That part, however, is very similar in logic. Thanks for your TuringChurch.com Giulio. I always enjoy your guests.

Thank you James for appreciating my efforts! There's an important difference between Tsvi's and Lincoln's arguments: the simulation hypothesis plays a strong role in Lincoln's, but not in Tsvi. In that, Tsvi is closer to Terasem and also closer to me (I think the simulation hypothesis is useful, but either trivially true or unnecessary).

Having said that, when Tsvi talks of old Gods that take a role in younger Cosmoses, he seems to be takeing a step toward Lincoln.
