All you did was slap the label of "God" on the Universe. That the Universe exists is not in dispute.
Show me two current books on electronics that differ on the fundamentals of electricity.Why should I try again when lots of texts on electronics are all "good authorities" on the topic too.
Define "God".Why must only a single book be a "good authority' on something as complex as the topic of God?
No, I am saying that others have different opinions that yours.It doesn't address my question I'm afraid. You're intentionally misrepresenting the whole concept of monotheism and intentionally misrepresenting variation in belief in religion as multiple 'gods'. That's like claiming there are multiple Presidents of the US simply by virtue of variation in beliefs about his character.
Nah, this is getting kinda repetitious. Got anything new?I'd love to see you try,
I am puzzled to how you can believe in a deity, without at least a basic concept of who this deity is?
Dark matter theory isn't defined
The concept of dark matter cannot be falsified, as it is just as placeholder name; individual dark matter theories or models can be falsified with new data that does not fit.or falsifiable, otherwise it would have been falsified by the failed "tests" at LHC, LUX, PandaX and those electron roundness experiments.
Don't you know?
Every topic worth discussing on these boards, is somehow related to another person's obsession with dark matter and energy.
No, I don't.I wouldn't use the term "deity" because that implies something apart and separate from the cosmos. And I wouldn't use the term "believe" either. In the mystical sense, real roughly I experience a creative force that runs through and within life itself. It's something that is "experienced". If I were to put any basic concept to it I'd have to say that it's essence is Love, Harmony and Beauty. But that has more to what I experience when I see it. It's like watching the laugh of a baby, the Divine shines out. So I tend to use words like Divine Presence or Divine Source and words like that. I also use words like Shiva, Ground of Being, Allah, Om, Yahweh, Satnam, Braham, Ahura Mazda, ect...you get the idea.
Strange that. We should check out the other threads to see if the Ambiguously Plasma Duo is plastering the knitting forums with the same nonsense. Somehow, it wouldn't surprise me.
No, I did not ask for a definition of "love". These are documents that discuss "love", defining it and the terms discussed as needed, so that the concepts can be conveyed coherently.Nice...but not of that is a "definition" of love, which is what you asked for.
Dark matter is a hypothetical kind of matter that cannot be seen with telescopes but would account for most of the matter in the universe. The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. - wiki

I thought you were familiar with this subject.
I can't recall any thread or any topic, when this poster did not interject this same garbage, when it had zero bearing on the discussion at hand.
I mean, we are talking really off the charts stuff hear, which is why I chose the ignore route.
And...being a consciously aware creature, "experienced".Sure. All kinds of things can be imagined.
Define "God".
No, I am saying that others have different opinions that yours.
Monotheism is defined by the Encyclopædia Britannica as belief in the existence of one god or in the oneness of God.
Nah, this is getting kinda repetitious. Got anything new?
I have no idea...but your sure trying to do just that.If "God" cannot be defined - how can we begin discussing something when we cannot agree on what we are talking about?
And than there are those experiences that come from somewhere else out side of the mind. The mystics of the various spiritual traditions talk a lot about that.Indeed. Our minds can create all kinds of personal experiences, which are real for the person experiencing them.
