FFS... you think that answers the question? I wan't you to really try to tease out what I expect to be a very long list of things that "because it's material" is standing in for Mystic. A couple of other ancillary things, this "explanation" also displays a couple of things that may have eluded you, assumptions you've made. Whats keeping god from being material? It also seems to suggest that you're of the opinion that if the material couldn't do such a thing - "god" is somehow strengthened by this. You can appreciate the trouble with either, eh?
Quote:Well it can be that the time was a dimension of the Creator at time zero or it can be that he created it like Theists believe. Both are logically possible.Try something a little more difficult than starting with -if god-. More like "Well, it can be said that god was a -insert whatever you like here- of the universe at time zero". lol. I'm trying to be charitable - and granting you a god - but suggesting that the universe "created it". The troubles you might have with a universe creating a god are likely to be the same troubles i have with a gd creating the universe. Whatever you claim the universe cannot have done - I will claim god could not have done - for the same reason - or along the same lines. Roger?
