And if people want so much detail of the connection between God and creation, that is how he is linked to and connected to (his name), isn't this another argument for religion, that God would send teachers that teach on his authority the truth of these matters. And that there would scriptures from God that clarify the matter and make people see on insights?
There is many signs and indications of our knowledge of God. But honestly, arguments no matter how strong and sound, are not to be relied upon but rather they may help people connect back and have firmer faith in their connection. God is to be known though the divine connection, seeing him even it it's from a distance.
I don't have that connection. So I'm afraid you're going to have to rely on arguments here, up to and including evidence that would demonstrate that that connection even exists for you and others. Just telling me that I know you're right isn't helping your case: it just means you've entered into this discussion in profoundly bad faith from the outset.
