Another "less than accurate representation of the truth"
I think that in the absence of knowledge about a subject, claiming such knowledge is deceitful. In other words, to bluster on about the details of an undiscovered continent is pointless. Now migrate that over to the concept of god, another undiscovered continent.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I'm not sure I know what you're on about. I don't think you do either.
I repeat: Does the definition of "God" by the dictionary say it means "Ultimate Reality" or not? I'm sure a simply "yes" or "no" is possible here. But take your time.

I believe you're the one claiming that you're ignorant about the subject of God - and so, by the standards you set should not be making any comments about it, should you?

It would not be absurd to assert that there was insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion about the existence of the American continents.
Any bets on who's sock puppet Zaki Aminu is?
I swear it's like whack-a-mole, you whack one, another pops up in its place.

I'll quote it, and link it again.
"capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality: as
a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe
b Christian Science : the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit : infinite Mind"

Bolding is obviously mine, since you must have missed it. Don't even try to steer this shit away from your little editing escapades. You don't have control of the rudder, it's a forum, not your private dictatorship where you ask questions and then set rules for the answers.
Im hardly ignorant as to the claims regarding "god". Which are the source material for any criticism you'll ever see from me. I'm not in the god inventing business, I simply question those that are.

But also youi haven't ascertained such absence of knowledge. You're just saying that what has been offered in evidence does not appeal to you. That does not make it incorrect. It may just be that you lack the ability to understand what is offered. In fact, the knowledge may be deliberately kept from you and still be accurate.
Whether you can understand the evidence for it or not is quite irrelevant of god, another undiscovered continent.

Would you like to quote the scripture that supports your position...lol.

Why is it necessary for me to quote any scripture? What makes you think that what I'm saying depends on any scripture. It's simply based on logic. Just like real science. If it is contained in scripture fine. If not, so what?
Also, can you tell me in which science book you read that the American continent came into existence in 1492 as you claimed earlier?

You're just going to plug along like this aren't you? You should start over, try being open with us, full disclosure and all that. You may also want to leave creative editing, misrepresentation, and attempts at draconian control of conversation out of the next attempt.

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. Do you? Surely, I've been very clear about everything I've said, haven't I? What is it I've said you have difficulty understanding?

Again, is there some scripture that you would like for me to consider, 1 Timothy 2:4 perhaps?
