Ah - so you at least stand by that other person's model?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Stand by gives an impression of a static position but as the model allows for further revelation I am free to develop the model further using my subjective experiences and any further development made by the Church. But TBH we are encouraged to develop our knowledge of GOD by personal experience. RE: Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

Quote:But TBH we are encouraged to develop our knowledge of GOD by personal experience. In other words, you're inventing what you want God to be. I do that when I write fiction, it's fun. RE: Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

Well if by subjective experience and subjective insights what in the extreme the church considers and terms Private Revelations you wish to define as inventing then yes. I would have many scientist in my company. defination to originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity, experimentation, or contrivance RE: Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

( ps I do like science ) . So what scientists call a singularity , I am going to call sciences flying spagetti monster of the gaps as I see no difference in calling something as unbelievable and at present unprovable object at the heart of so much a singularity when we could call it something more fun. Of course when we close that gap the FSM will be in the next. RE: Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

Of course when we close that gap the FSM will be in the next. You can theorize the existence of a strange object with no volume and infinite density and still be a scientist. You can't state that such an object certainly exists, and instruct others to form a personal relationship with this object, and be anything but a crackpot.
