This thread intrigues me so I will have to comment on that later because I don’t have time to read through the whole thread and your article right now. I just wanted to make a few quick comments first; I’ll come back to it later.
I also think angels have bodies - but that makes me wonder what they are made of…are they higher dimensional beings, or are they made out of something that’s not baryonic matter or both. I realized recently I was holding to the view that they are both illusions and embodied. That isn’t consistent. Instead they are described similarly to humans but not exactly - and they can appear and disappear like Jesus did after being raised. Interesting stuff…
@vjtorley why do you think inflation leads to a multiverse?
