So "God" is a photon? A particle with zero rest mass that has trouble negotiating fluids and bounces off objects? A photon created the Universe and cries when you touch yourself at night?

This is a prime example of how to the apologist, both reality and the thing they're trying to defend have to be thrown under the bus to make their arguments work.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
2 The same was in the beginning with God. 
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

God is light. Even after all this time, it still all boils down to sun worship.

Or put another way, how do you know that 'John' was talking about photons?

Of course the bible knew nothing about photons.

Another fulfilled prophecy!

Or...

The point is you claimed that timelessness cannot exist in reality, and this supposed "mythology" has declared that light is timeless 2000 years ago which is also vindicated scientifically.

I never claimed that. Read again.

AHA !!

So many times when some monstrous hag was called out for being unclean, (and even when her menstrual discharge contaminated others) the penalty phase expires at sunset, IOWs, while God's light is shining on her unclean issue!!

here's scripture:

Leviticus 15:19-30 - And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.  

I sure appreciate the clarification on that!!

Try again.

It's a dead giveaway of a badly thought out argument when the proponent has to deny reality to make it work, isn't it?

Oh, for fuck's sake, don't pretend you don't understand that 'light' and 'darkness' are metaphors in that passage.

If you can get "I claim that timelessness cannot exist in reality" from that, it's no wonder that you can read "God is light" and think it refers to photons.
