Did any of those discoveries come from praying to the moongod?
Messiah has a point that can't be wished away by calling things disgusting, imagining what other people believe....that you don't, or whining that somebody is killing muslims somewhere.
It's a sad fact of contemporary belief that the people with the most vested interest in taking their god seriously will not or cannot do so. You've volunteered numerous examples of this on the board, and do so above as well. Did anyone ask you to imagine a void universe, or anything empty? No. You were asked whether or not you were capable of conceiving of a god that does not contradict facts. That does not need apology. A god that you would not sacrifice on the altar of a magic book. It didn't create us, because we weren't created, but it's still a god.
Can you do that....?
