Tell us about the dinosaurs

So... you don't know? I'm not familiar with Michael Shermer, but sure, I would agree you can't have a scientific inquiry without definitions. And I would suggest that it's nigh on impossible, not to mention pointless, to inquire into every conceivable notion of god. Whether god resides/exists in another universe, plane of existence, dimension or whatever makes no difference. As soon as you contend that god in any way influences this universe (creating it, performing miracles) why should that influence not be in any way detectable? Sure maybe we haven't detected it so far, or we don't yet have the capability to detect it, but when it's claimed that any such detection is impossible, well that's just bullshit. Which is why I asked if that's actually your position.
