"Taken out of our “box”... with time and space as new toys..."

Great concept! In fact, that is one of my "hopes of Glory"...

What a great way of looking at it.

Sounds like fun.

What a splendid essay-post, dearest sister in Christ, stunning to metaphysical naturalism logic for there is a wealth of information content that does not physically exist!

As you say, the semantics of the language cannot be reduced to digital code. Moreover, the meaning is highly subjective.

In fact, qualia (pain/pleasure, love/hate, etc.) are the poison pills to A.I. - they can only be experienced, they cannot be conveyed. The little pain charts in the hospital are instructive, trying to reduce to a number the expressions on a person's face to convey their need for pain killers. Enter the subjective desire for or against such substances ...

>> Actually, I have run across pro-life libertarians.

Libertarianism and statism concern the degree of enforcement applied to the morality differentiated by liberalism and conservatism. A Leftist for example is a Liberal Statist.

Anyway, that’s how I see it, and likewise consider myself philosophically a conservative libertarian; however, I’ve been a conservative voting, registered Republican for over 3 decades.

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear MHGinTN!

I am reminded also of when Jesus appeared in the midst of the Apostles in a closed room, and when the ship immediately arrived when Jesus boarded:

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. - John 20:26

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. - John 6:21

God's Name is I AM.

LOLOL! I like that saying - a lot!

Diabetes is quite a challenge, but I'm confident you'll master the whole discipline in short order, dear brother in Christ!
