Rocks are not animate, much less sentient, and are thus incapable of suc contemplation. Or were you referring to the box holding the rocks? /"serious" reply

You are making my point....

I hate explaining things that are self-evident!!

The Creator is infinitely more intelligent than us!! So much so do we pale in comparison...that we can be compared to something...ANYTHING that ...oh just forget it!!

As always, this begs the question: How do you (or anyone) know about that?
I don't know of anyone who has met him in order for him to impart this knowledge on us.

I'm sorry but could you explain how your ignorance is relevant or contributes anything helpful?

Zero times infinity is still zero. So, we are technically infinitely more intelligent than a rock, which has absolutely no intelligence.

My ignorance is a reflex of everyone's ignorance.

Provide proof that god interacts with people (as opposed to people's minds creating such interaction) and you will have a case for the existence of god...

Until then, my ignorance is everyone's ignorance... although some may be deluded by their own minds into thinking they know.
Hence my question: how does anyone know anything about any god?

Bonus question: How is it that people know different things about different gods in different parts of the world?

Given your non-answer here, I shall have to continue thinking that your ignorance is both irrelevant and contributes nothing helpful.

Geez, "I don't know of anyone" is a figure of speech! His individual isn't ignorance wasn't his point.

Being ignorant, how would you know that? How can it be said that a state of ignorance exists until proof fills the void unless one first has "proof" of what knowledge is to begin with?
