ANNOTATION:
Self-knowledge, God and the creation of the universe
It has been said that any God with a sense of its own self cannot be omniscient as would, in the very act of self-awareness, separate itself from other phenomona, thus demonstrating non-omniscient bahaviour and, crudely, disqualifying itself as God.
The same action is at work when we attempt to refer to observed phenomena to account fot the creation of the universe. To state that the universe was, in effect, self actualizing by reference to observed phenomena is always self-negating, relying, as it does, on "rules" which, de facto, could not have been in existence before the self-creation process began.
In summary, speculation of this kind is pointless. This whould not be regarded as negative, however as the very futility of the process may be an inherent part of the process of self-creation.
