I would hazard a layman's guess and say it's not an insignificant %. Possibly the majority. (Considering the distances from most)

How do you know that God must also have a UNI-dimensional mind?
What about if he would have a MULTI-dimensional mind able to think and do a multitude of things at the same time?

He'd be able to drive and text at the same time!

Wheeee! Adding small things together in parallel doesn't get you to big things.

^^THIS^^          Kudos, Mancunian!
Actually, though, Rik, until we have more concrete proof that any such entity exists, wasting time speculating about something impossible to prove is just worthless fantasy.  It's a waste of time and effort.

It is interesting to see how you talk about speculation.
Isn't this thread all about speculations?
The OP is 100% speculation but to you speculation is only when somebody else challenge that speculation.
Time to look yourself in the mirror and realize the hypocrisy.

I can't tell you a number, but very big blue stars have short lives, so if you look at a really faint blue star, it's probably far away and hence already gone. The same might be true for red giants. Heck, Beteigeuze might already have blown up, and it's not that far away

Once again you judge as if an hypothetical God would act and have the same power as a human.
You look in front of you and you can not see the planet curvature so you think that the planet is flat.
Get real girl.
We already went through that crap long time ago.

Sure. This thread started out describing the mind-boggling size of our little itty bitty solar system.  Which is not speculation, it's mathematical fact.  The vastness of the universe makes every religion ever created on this planet seem utterly absurd to me and many others.  Once you waste even a second wondering whether a deity exists or does not exist, yes that is speculation.  
    Of course, the moment I choose to assert that I find the possibility of a deity unlikely, and I relegate it to the category of leprechauns and unicorns, somebody who is certain that their imaginary friend is real gets in my face and tries to demand that I change my mind.  It's time to get out of my face now.  If your deity wants me to believe, have him tell me himself.  I won't accept anything from you.

Probably the truest sentence you have ever posted, bunny ears.  You do keep taking a crap on our forum threads.

Fuzzy.  

I am not saying that the vastness of the universe is speculation.
Every person with a bit of brains knows that the universe is very very vast.
I am rather saying that your judgment about a deity that can not possibly be in charge is pure speculation.
As far as i am concern is your right to believe or not in a deity or not deity.
I don't really care whether you believe or not.
All i am saying is that your theory is pure speculation therefore your thread is worth as much as
a cig. butt.  

Oh, hang on fuzzy.
One more speculation.  
You say .........  They also believe sky-daddy wants every human to believe (but can't convince 8 billion humans what they're supposed to call him) and will punish them for eternity if they choose the wrong name.

How do you know that I as a believer think that God will punish people for .......choosing the wrong name?
