No.

Okay, good then, because such an assertion would be difficult to explain and almost impossible to demonstrate.  So I’ll remember going forward, that it is NOT your position that god is intelligent.

Quote:It does not have to come to this every time we discuss the concept of God. Actually, it is a rather unsophisticated (I'm being charitable) to demand proof all the end of every sentence about God.

It’s rather obvious here that you didn’t answer my question. I’ll ask again:

Why should we take seriously the positing of an entity that, by definition, requires no explanation for its alleged attributes and powers, and cannot be demonstrated to exist?

Quote:But as you know, I can give a list of common reasons and arguments why it is reasonable to believe God exists.

No, none that aren’t either fatally, logically flawed, or reliant upon unsound premises.  

Quote:A 'flim falm' is not an analogy because it does not have a list of reason nor are there billions who would give personal experience testimony to its existence.

That you have a bunch of other people who believe in your inexplicable, indemonstrable entity, doesn’t change the fact that it IS inexplicable and indemonstrable, and as such, possesses no explanatory power with regard to anything in the real world.  And, is essentially indistinguishable from imagination.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
