Just labelling them 4th, 5th, 6th etc isn't enough. Are you saying that there is an order of dimensions so that the 5th dimension is higher than the 4th? Or are these just labels and we could have just as easily referred to the 5th dimension and the 4th and vice versa?

Are you referring to extra dimensions? Do things occupy all the dimensions at the same time or can things exist in some dimensions and not the others?

It seems like you're trying to avoid giving an answer...

Strange how Jenny knew exactly what I was talking about but somehow you're discombobulated.

Do you believe other dimensions (dimensions other than 1st 2nd and 3rd) exist? However you want to define a dimension is fine with me.

Jenny assumed what you were talking about.

For me, I know that theists like you rely on conflation and equivocation, so when asked if I believe in something, first thing I do is try to specify exactly what I am being asked that I believe in. After all, it's not like you have still actually told me what exactly you are referring to when asking about higher dimensions.

But if you are asking if I believe in other dimensions that physicists theorise exist, I have to say that I neither believe or disbelieve. I accept that they could exist but also am open to the possibility that the need for them might disappear if the physicists concerned come up with a different model. I also accept that I am not a physicist and am largely ignorant on the matter. But if the field collectively decides that these dimensions exist then I will accept that.

But if so, unlike theists I won't use it as an excuse to justify any crackpot theory not supported by evidence. Nor will I associate these dimensions with properties not supported by the science.
