Good evening. Sorry to bring up this old thread. Your discussion was very interesting. Specifically regarding this comment, one thing confuses me. Isn’t “the memory of an omniscient God” in this thought experiment the same as “the set of all existing objects in all existing worlds”? If your reasoning about the set paradox proves that “the memory of an omniscient God” cannot exist, doesn’t that prove that “an infinite universe” cannot exist either? Or is there a difference between the two? (Incidentally, I would like to point out that the universe and even the multiverse can be finite. Then an omniscient monotheistic God would not necessarily have infinite complexity. But for some reason many people forget this.)
