You can't actually "make it" any way you choose.
Quote:Give me a specific definition of God, and I will almost for sure shoot it down in flames.Then the box is openable.
Quote:Otherwise, I will look at the things I personally consider potential God ideas, and for these I know there's no way to establish truth values, at least right now.That you personally consider something a god idea does not mean that it actually -is- a god idea..or that the idea is unopenable. It was your choice to reference philosophy. If what you actually meant was not a hypothetical, god, a creative philosophical principle...but instead "that which can be asserted"....well...sure, you may never know. We can assert anything we like, though..obviously, I don;t think we're talking about knowledge - or whether or not we have it or can aqcuire it, anymore, at that point.
