Quote:If you seek on God's terms, you will find a lot of miracles. If you make up a standard to disprove God, you will get that.If someone can ever figure out what a gods terms might be this statement might have some impact, but since no one has been able to manage that, it's an empty statement. The impact that the statement might have in that case is blunted by it's affirmation of confirmation bias, unfortunately.
If you make up a god, you'll find it.
