But if you click on the little upward arrow next to your name in your quote and then click on the upward arrow in the name of the quote in that reply, until you go all the way back to where this part of the conversation started, you will see that what I said about you sounding like a Christian was because I felt that I kind of got a non-answer,
I read all of that I understand what you were saying. What I am saying is that by using the words "god", "religion", and "morality they are not applicable to what Torath Mosheh Jews actually hold by. I.e. the foreign terms, "in English", mean something different than what is found in the Hebrew text. That is why people who want to start at an English basis will always be tripped up. The Torah was not written in the English language nor was it written using western logic. Thus, I will go over the answer again below.
which was similar to YoursTrue's answer (who is a Chrisitan). Because it doesn't seem likely to me as to why it would take a Super Being who is supposed to be Almighty, Omnipotent, All-powerful, All-knowing, etc.,
Again, this is completely the wrong direction - because as I stated above it is not the perspective of the Torah. We are not talking about "Super Beings." A super being can easily be the creation of a more super being. A super being can easily have limitations. A super being can easily be bound by terms like
Almighty, Omnipotent, All-powerful, All-knowing, etc., and the arguement people want to make because of said terms.
If something is the
Source of reality and it is the Source of the ability to create, then none of these terms have meaning. i.e. by defintion the Source created all aspects of reality, is not bound by the logic of its creations, nor is there anything above it placing barriers on how the Source wants to do something. If the source wants to create or allow a universe to develop in what is peceived to be be billions of years to one of its creations it is only logical to say that also space-time are one of the things it created. If time is one of its creations then the concept of time is not a constraint for the Source - it is a contraint of its creations that change due to time. Thus, the creations may feel like a different method may have been better (shorter, longer, less complex, etc.) but that feeling by a created thing is meaningless because the Source is not bound by what anything or anyone it created thinks is a more logical process.
Besides, there are some humans who jump for joy and are in amazement of a universe/reality that is potentially billions of year old, from our perspective. There are some humans who are excited when they learn that reality Is full of complex process and such. The concept of understanding the reality we were created in has sparked all kinds of revolutions in human history and employees countless people who have an interest in understanding how the universe works.
Further to that, when a Torath Mosheh Jews look at this complex reality and universe it causes us to be in awe of the Source and this has sparked thousands of years of Torath Mosheh Jewish discussion. It has also provided Torath Mosheh Jews with the strength to survive some of our darkest challenges in history because we know that even when our enemies have tried to wipe out the Jewish people the Source of reality is above and beyond those said enemies.
take a millions and millions or perhaps even a billions of billions of years process to create something, when by definition, he should be able to do anything that he wants to with a snap of a finger (or whatever is comparable to him or it).
Again, wrong concept. From your perspective as a human millions or billions of years is a long time and a part of your definition for what the Source should do. That is not the case, the Source
CHOSE to do develop reality the way it wanted. By definition it doesn't have to snap any fingers or anything else. Also, because the Source is not subject to time, one of its creations, from the Source's perspective (again getting metaphysical) billions and even trillions of years is less than a snap of a finger - because past, present, and future are a creation - the source is not bound by them. Especially when the Source has the choice to do so for the purposes the Source wants. There is a Torath Mosheh Jewish concept that humanity benefits all the time from the CHOICE of the Source to create reality as it did, whether we know it or not.
Again, the Source didn't have to create anything if it didn't want to. The Source didn't have create reality the way it did. Due to it being the Source it
CHOSE to and becaue it has nothing placing barriers on what it should do, then its choice is what is it is. I personally like the fact that the Source chose to create a complex universe with all the various facets that exist in it. I know that I am not alone in this.
But instead, what you explained was that he needed to do it this way and that it is beyond human comprehension as to why.
I never wrote that the Source "needed" to do it this way. At the most I said that is logical to me that the the reality being so complex is proof to me that the source would be even more complex than what it created and humans being so small in the universe there are areas that we can comprehend and some areas in this lifetime we can't. Also, that it makes sense that something is complex creates things that are complex. i.e. a person has to know their limits and human development has leapead forward at times because of the unknown.
However, that sounds like the logical fallacy of the argument from ignorance, and perhaps the Christians did borrow that from the Jews.
But it's the same type of explanation that Christians use that is given in place of an actual explanation.
I never stated that the Source "needed" to anything a certain way. I stated it being the Source with nothing above it placing barriers on it it can CHOOSE to do things the way it chooses. Again, what Christians borrowed from Torath Mosheh Jews is meaningless especially when it is clear that they took some Torath Mosheh ideas/concepts and mixed it with Avodah Zara.
