The nature of God

Also to bump:
Does your "God" in the supposition have a consciousness or is it just a set of forces?
2- Is it within or outside the known universe?
3-Is it within the confines of known laws of nature?
4- Does/ How does it connected to percievable reality?

Excellent questions Tack.

For the sake of argument I will answer thusly.

1/ Yes, it is conscious
2/ It is within the known universe.
3/ It is constrained by the rules of the universe.
4/ Don't know, what do you think?

...'Someone' has suggested God is a creator yet not emergent without any logical trace. How do you make such a leap?

'It's' ultimate goal is clearly nothing to do with human adoration. Another wild leap of logic.

...seems to me you're simply butchering a concept you have very little knowledge of rather than making any progress towards formulating a realistic theology.


Omnipresence is a universal 'god' attribute which VOID ignorantly rubbishes. Pippy made a perfectly rational point which was irrationally dismissed. God is indeed seen as 'everything'.

Quite simply Frodo, if God is not an emergent property of the universe then it is most likely

to be its creator.

And as to why human adoration is not its ultimate goal?

Because the Universe is about 14 billion years old.

Humanity has only been practicing religion for a few thousand years.

Seems to be a huge effort for very little return.

And for that matter, how do you "know" that human adoration is its ultimate goal.
