And I am glad you were able to pick up science textbooks and learn real and factual things more than I did.

I cant do a fraction to save my life. But, just like I can drive a car, even though I cant build one from scratch, if you told me cars run on pixy dust, I could safely say "bullshit".

I know nonsense when I see it. 

Language is used to describe objects and or the behavior of objects. 

"1" is an abstract word. But it can be assigned to denote the number of that object. IE "1 apple" "1 car" "1 mouse". 

Nothing you said in your OP made sense. 

"The car is going 55mph"....... 55mph is not the object itself, but the language we use to describe the speed of the car in motion. THAT MAKES SENSE.

Try making sense, people will understand you better.

Now tell me please. I heard a lot the expression 'God doesn't exist'. Is the word 'god', in this expression, an abstract word or a word that describes something?

If it is an abstract word. I am afraid it is non-sense saying/repeating 'God' doesn't exist' because all things defined by abstract words are not supposed to exist in the first place.

If it describes something, I wish someone could tell me to which thing the word 'god' refers (as he sees in the least). I ask this because, on the world's table, there are many different images of what is known as God or the Creator. For instance, any god's image that shows there is a heavenly ruling system is, to me in the least, another man-made image and therefore the god of this system has no place in my reality (though other people may accept it in their reality, for one reason or another; there are many possible personal benefits in doing this).

Anyway, please don't hesitate to keep telling me I am talking non-sense anytime this lets you be happier.
Answering: What is my point?
