Does a "God Fractal" Exist?

Albert Einstein was quoted as saying, "I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.". Which at the time Albert was discussing physics of the universe. Meaning there are no random elements. Nothing in life happens randomly. You might want to believe you have "freedom of will" or a choice to make. However according to Albert Einstein, you are predestined to make that choice. Anything you do or say was placed into effect by one atom hitting another or God calling us into creation. Whichever you prefer, Albert Einstein was simply stating that even if you flip a coin, the physics of the coin flipping though the air, bouncing on the surface it lands upon are all part of the complexed pattern.

Arthur C. Clarke presented a documentary "Fractals - The Colors Of Infinity" on the mathematical discovery of the Mandelbrot Set. This show relates the science of fractals to nature in a way that seems to identify the hand of God in the design of the universe itself. Dr. Mandelbrot in 1980 discovered the infinitely complex geometrical shape called the Mandelbrot Set using a very simple equation (z = z*z + C) with computers and graphics. Today anyone can download many free fractal software titles.

If what Albert said is true, the "God Fractal" could exist. What is a "God Fractal"? Imagine you are in the shoes of God not creating something as complexed as the universe but a chain of dominos. The first domino hits the second and so on. We have all seen how complexed they can make them work. As the creator of this supposed chaos you know the outcome. The chain is no mystery to you. What I call a "God Fractal" is the key events that would give us just enough data to understand the pattern. Armed with that kind of knowledge you could predict future events.

Many have claimed to have "God Fractals" before and yet to this day there is no solid proof for their claims. For example, "Timewave zero" is a theory that purports to calculate the ebb and flow of the universe as we progress in time. It is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. While the concept founded by Albert Einstein is sound, I seriously doubt any man will ever discover the "God Fractal" or be allowed to use it to their advantage. I will of course apologize to the late McKenna should we all die in Decemeber of 2012.

If a "God Fractal" did exist, one could not only peer into the future but also view past events in greater detail. Not exactly a time machine but the next best thing. But the same Issac Asimov paradox occurs in our "God Fractal" theory, if one changes his future then the events are no longer fixed and become random. The "God Fractal" being based on a fixed universe can only exist if it is never discovered.

Sounds to me like Einstein was trying to say that if we screw up it is not our fault because that is just the way we were made. I don't believe in predestiny crap, so I suppose a God Fractal can't exist. God does play dice and cards too.
