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).I have defined "GOD" repeatedly, several times, exactly the same way. An extant infinite absolute. A field of mass/matter that has no border and takes up all available space (saturate). What we have in the universe is voided space and matter in the form of atoms with mass that occupies 0.0000000000001% of the space of the atom and most of the total mass of the atom is in annihilating virtual particles.
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.
You know exactly what "word" I am talking about, don't play dumb. Two places in major world wide religion that link the "word" (vibrational expression of an idea) to God: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word was with God." - Bible. "I am the Eternal...I am that which create the Word...I am the Word" Egyptian book of Coming Forth by Day.
The Word was "GOD". It was a self expression of observed self existence "I am that I am" "I am that which Is", "My name is Forever". It is also a pro-creative act by a living being because vibration creates form and space and life begets life. That is the symmetry break/quantum fluctuation that creates a finite God (manifestation of self expressive Oneness aka the "only begotten son"/God the Son/Word) and the space required to separate it from the original infinite.
Now that's all well and good for subjective consciousness but what about objective existence? What are the only objective spatial relationships that can be described of a substance that takes up all space forever? What are it's relativistic equalities? Will you/can you (yes you can) look through "GOD's" eyes with me?
