God, Universe and Whole Lot of Other Nonsense

(I wrote this long back when I was really angry at something, I don't really remember what it was about. But as life proves to be very circular, I ofter wonder if I had seen this tree before and so I dug out this little passage)

Life is a set of completely random events resulting from previous random events. Infact it is such a big chain of random events that it cant be traced to it's roots. The seed, yes, that is what God is.

Every One who has programmed would know that random functions need a seed value to be truly random. Such a seed value should be completely independent for the resultant program to be truly random. For example, time is a random factor.

So, infact if this theory is correct, the there must exist alternative universe for each seed value generated. There must be a universe formed every second or maybe even every millisecond. And it is in this seed value, that the existence of God can be perceived. That is, it is the seed value that would decide what the outcome would be at step 1 or step 100 or step 99999547. That is each step is predetermined once the seed value is determined. And therein lies the element which is populary termed as DESTINY.

If souls are stocked in heaven, I wonder how they are chosen to be sent down to earth at a particular moment. Is a particular inventory method followed, like First in First Out (FIFO) or is it based on some other criterion. Or is that random too.

God has no authority to judge us on the basis of our deeds. This is because if God judges us on the basis of our actions in this mortal realm, then it would be completely unfair, as we are merely participating in the chain of random events triggered long back, and events pre-decided, the course of which we cannot possibly alter as it would disrupt the existence of this very universe. Einstein remarked that - God doesnt play dice with the world. I guess he does, only that the casino is rigged.

You are obviously dangerously intelligent. I believe that life is not completely predetermined. You said yourself that the seed value in programming a random function has no bearing on the results. Best of luck (another thing you may not agree exists)
