God's eye view

God's Eye View is the name for the point of view where the speaker or writer assumes ay have knowledge only God would have. It appears several ways:

• In religion, when an institution claims to speak for the divine being.

• In writing, when an author leaves the point of view of the main actor to start writing about things ay could not know if the story were in real life.

• In science, when the scientist ignores the way the subject-object problem affects statistics or an observer effect affects experiment.

• In medicine when the doctor makes the claim that The Gaze he uses on the patient, actually sees the problem, rather than making the guess at the problem.

• In ethics when the statement is made about who or what is right, without an honest attempt to make the process of deciding this consider all points of view.

A special case of the last is in the wiki with the GodKing. Often this person can get others to believe what ay say about what is right, without making any special effort to be fair to other views.

Many people think Rene Descartes took the God's eye view when he said cogito ergo sum. George Berkeley argued that optics from Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler also had this problem.
