Better get cracking on your "logic" and hypothesis, there -- time's running out.
Still waiting for something more than gobbledygook here. I'm already havig a salad with my dinner -- chicken leg-quarters smoked over pecan, rice, and yes, a nice salad.
You salad of verbiage is not necessary, and sure not conducive to insight.
My understanding of the GOD who made us is that we/universes are the result of a self expression of that GOD and there is nothing that can stop the precipitous fulfillment of that Word. In my model we are all doomed to perfection and eternal life. You might not prefer that hypothetical option either. I have exactly the same inherent capacities as everyone else. I have simple developed and specialized differently...largely due to environmental pressure of the current world state of strife and suffering being a religious mess.
The way I convey might not resonate with you but it does with others...so I am here learning new tongues and thank you for the reflections. If you have any specific questions or places you want clarification or to take me to task, I welcome it.
Hell, I'm still waiting for your coherent definition of "god." By which I mean a definition shorn of buzzwords, a definition that actually describes the thing. You may or may not be able to describe this god-thingy even though you have faith in him/her/it, but that does me little good when you can't even tell me what we're talking about without importing fatuous assumptions ("the god who made us", for instance).
And then you introduce this crap about the Word. Which word? English has about three-quarters-of-a-million of those thingies, and you'll have to pick one or three or seven or two-hundred-forty-four. What is this word of which you speak? And why is it so vague that you must type so many more words simply to explain it?
As for "specializing differently" ... we're all special. We all get a trophy. It's called a headstone.
If you claim special knowledge, you should display it.
