A Question From Atheists

[Astonished]

You say you believe but have no idea what god is but suggest it may be the universe.

Most definitions of god have it as some kind of powerful sentient being.

The universe displays none of those characteristics. I may as well call my left testicle the repository of all truth. It may have none of the things in common with a repository of truth but apparently that's good enough for you.

You are right what I said is nonsensical, but there is small point that it can suggest, A LOT of people have identified God with the Universe. That might account as sort of a weak evidence for someone to be intrigued about it and dedicates some time and effort to read and think about the concept before rejecting it. That's all. I think there is no other point in all that I said. I don't know what God is, but that mere word is the thing that has brought us here, isn't it?

No, it doesn't. That it could even be expressed in that sentence is troubling to say the least (and you're also committing an argument ad populum fallacy. If all but 1 of the 7 billion people in the world believes 2+2=5, they're still wrong). It shows zero critical thinking. You don't start with the assumption of sky woo. You start with what's here and is observable and testable. If you find a mystery, you wonder what the solution to the mystery is, maybe even try to find it. You don't make up a name for it and ascribe any number of attributes to it.
