If man can create something superior to himself, why not a god?
Because God is infinite. Infinite +1 is simply infinity, and if such a being could be created by the merely infinite being, then the being known as infinity +1 would be God. Is this really useful?
(Is it a countable infinity or an uncountable infinity? One is larger than the other! )
Who told you about the infinity of god?
How would that person know about it?

That's one way.
Actually, with a bit of tweaking, you may be close to understanding the Trinity - to some degree, anyway. This requires some explanation, so hopefully, my post will be permitted. All that follows is material from Catholic Answers.
I can understand it very well - one god when the context demands it, multiple gods when the context demands them.
Saints and angels lend a hand every now and again.
It's enough.
Did you know that there are non-trinitarian christians?

Yeah.... you're getting quite a backlog on addressing my posts. You still have a huge one that addresses only the ascertainable reality to take care. Get on with it!

Your arguments are nothing we haven't heard before, nor are they any more supported by evidence or reasoned argument than any other theist that posts here.
Perhaps YOU have heard them (as I have heard many of yours, btw), but have you ever considered the post/views ratio of my threads, Simon? The views are running more than 10:1 meaning that there are potentially MANY more people following than commenting.
What does that mean? It means that I'm reaching a bigger audience than just you and the few who have decided to respond.
Hearts are being touched by the truth right here in this forum.
How do you feel about that?
My Bold.
Have you already forgotten what I told you about the usage of the word "truth"?
Do try to avoid using it when you are pointing at mere speculation and wishful thinking.
