Increasing dimensional complexity is like the counter at the lower left hand corner of this forum's home page. The ones move rapidly, the tens more slowly and it takes some time for the 4 in the hundred thousands column to change to a five.

A seven dimensional "Geometric Universe", the mathematical "natural fit" for a General Relativity model, is almost set in concrete, it is so complex.

My fathers sperm is still fertilizing my mothers egg at some coordinate, and far from involving almost impossible chance, in a 7-D Geometric universe, that sperm fertilizing that egg (and every necessary event before that) is about like shooting at the broad side of a barn from 5 feet away. In fact, that analogy is an understatement, for my existence- and yours is a universal, eternal certainty.

From our frame of reference in 4-D, we see many sperm, and vast possibilities, but to sperm, fertilization is an all or nothing proposition...becoming a human is only a prospect for the one sperm which does the fertilizing.

Sperm seem small to us, and the genetic possibilities are endless, but way down in the heart of the universe improbability comes to a screeching halt- only one sperm eternally has the honor.

Quantum Mechanics likewise is a frame of reference phenomenon. We look down and we see probabilities. They are just as real as genetic probabilities.

From the vantage point of an atom, a sperm is positively huge and all-encompassing.

Moving down to photon spheres, the frame of reference base of the universe, the universe becomes a place of the tides of singularity and the changing momentum of time and space in rhythm with this eternal tide. Everything else "rides on top" and reflects the realities of the foundations of existence.

Because of this tide, change is a reality in the universe. Real change is a much "slower" cosmic reflection of the fast-paced illusion we call movement and change.

As we reawaken and resume our eternal existence over the eternal periodic cycles, things are almost the same in a Geometric Universe. Yet some things, if it were possible to compare one cycle of existence with the following one, would be clearly seen to be different. How different is conjectural, but because the universe is of finite mass we can state correctly that the universe DOES change.

The sum total of the parts of complex biological organisms is greater than the sum of their parts. Life functions as a servomechanism pushing our finite universe eternally away from disorder and toward order...as if the present orderly condition was not enough! Of course, as living things, having the frame of reference we do, we can see the need for change, and where it has to occur- and we can, and do affect those changes over eternity.

Does God change his mind...as the Judeo-Christian scriptures state so emphatically? Yes, we change our minds, and I think God can and does change his too.
