all those 'other dimensions'

I recently dove into a full hour of discussion with a college student of philosophy about the existence of other dimensions, the value of the human logic system, sophism [You are the only thing that exists], etc. Basically everything that can make your intuition hurt. I started question the existence of God, my own intelligence, and stuff like that.

However, I made my original arguments for the existence of God (see 'TSM') a little more general, and it covers all this other wacky stuff. Measurements and magnitudes of any sort are all finite. And we wonder, why that value instead of something else? For instance, the total mass of the universe may be 7.6E87 kg. Why? Why not 7.5? Who knows? Either we accept that this arbitrary number exists for some reason, or there must be something outside of quantifiable things (God) which has a will and a purpose to set it at that value. Of course, the universe could also be infinite, which also begs interpretation.

This takes on other dimensions (because other dimensions have quantities in them), logic systems (because quantities are independent of they way things relate to each other) and sohpism (because I have values too).

Just food for thought
