Belaqua: "I've already addressed this. When theologians say that God is intelligent, it is not in the same way that a person is intelligent. If you skipped my description of this before you can look again, at my first post here. "
So in what way is God intelligent?
"He takes no actions. This would require change, and he doesn't change.
He causes things to be and to change because of what he is, but this doesn't require his own change"
Wouldn't causing things to change required a change of thought?
"Right. But "not made of anything" means that there are no materials in him. No constituent parts, no elements. "
So how could he do anything, such as "causing things to change"? Create a universe?
"Does that dictionary say anything about how this is related to your question? "
No, I came up with the question. I don't think you'd find it in any dictionary.
