Where do you think we are right now? Were on this planet in this galaxy in this universe, right? Well, where is that,
then? Within the mind of God. I came to this idea when I was a young child and realized that the people in my dreams seemed
to have a will of their own. They existed in my mind, but they seemed to have minds of their own. Then it hit me: What if
we're all just people in God's dreams? We dream on a small scale, with individual situations, stories, and images. But a divine
being dreams on a divine scale, of whole univeral histories. Evolutionists and Creationists aren't really that different,
their ideas are just of different ways in which God dreams. Creationists portray God as a lucid dreamer who can make anything
happen. Evolutionists portray God's dreams as out of it's control and playing out as they will. If this is really the dream
of a divine being, then we do have an afterlife: As memories. Because people in memories live in a similar fashion to the
way people in dreams do, within the mind, but a different person than the mind's owner. We'll spend eternity exploring the
mind of a God. And, if this is so, we'd share an afterlife with inhabitants of universes that came before out own. Every prospect
for the end of the universe is frightening, but I don't believe that it's the event that will end the universe. I believe
the universe would end when the shock of the event wakes God. What kind of world would a God awaken into?
