Ontology of God--Theological Noncognitivist View

[Purple Rabbit]

I think fr0d0 was referring to St Augustine instead of St Thomas:

"What then, brethren, shall we say of God? For if thou hast been able to understand what thou wouldest say, it is not God. If thou hast been able to comprehend it, thou hast comprehended something else instead of God. If thou hast been able to comprehend him as thou thinkest, by so thinking thou hast deceived thyself. This then is not God, if thou hast comprehended it; but if this be God, thou has not comprehended it."

—St. Augustine

If we follow through on this god is Quantum Mechanics.

I believe that was the aforementioned quote reference. This just goes to the point of God being unknowable thusly removed from the universe is unknowable withing the constains of this universe. the revelations presented by God then allow us to understand and define a concept of God without entirely knowing all of his attributes.

IMHO the statement from St Augustine excludes knowledge of any attribute. So whatever you say about your god, it will be a lie.
