Defending Pantheism

We can go by google's definition for now. If we don't want to agree on it for the purposes of our discussion, we can adapt it:

nu·mi·nous
adjective
adjective: numinous
having a strong religious or spiritual quality; indicating or suggesting the presence of a divinity.
"the strange, numinous beauty of this ancient landmark"

I was using "holy" and "numinous" colloquially and merely suggesting that such words might be used to describe natural phenomena (like a landmark... or the entire universe). I don't think my entire argument rests on how these words are defined. I could easily construct my argument without using these words.
