Dunno. Are they conscious of anything?

Do conscious things make worlds? (Hint: Yes.)

unless plants are conscious.

Dunno. Are they conscious of anything?

The Bible says that everything created knows it's creator. Rocks were created so, at least on some level, they have enough consciousness to know God.

I don't understand

"Such things as dreams are made of." Shakespere

I don't understand

You had initially said, for every human in existence there is a world. Then that was expanded to include animals. Then that was expanded to allow plants. But you faultered at rocks, unsure if they had consciousness.

Is consciousness a requirement for a world?

 

[UnTheist]

I guess I will have to know what your definition of "world" is, if that hasn't already been answered.

We're kind of hashing out yours.

 

[UnTheist]

Ok. I think a "world" is a view of reality, which requires a consciousness, or awareness of something.

I agree. The "view" provides a unique perspective, hence the myriad worlds.

Still, I answered "one" in the poll, in the sense that there is only one world that creates all the others: "mine" (for each of us), the conscious observer.

I have heard that God is not of this world, so I am wondering: how many worlds are there?

Many, if you count the small ones people make-up in their heads.
