I have a Creator. I don't have a god.Your view of me as inadequate has been rather transparent since I first appeared in this forum. Yet I notice that there still is no answer to my question.
Q: Do you believe that God, whoever you believe Him (or Her) to be, is creator? If so, why?

That's a completely different question than the one you posted in the OP. I was highly interested in the question about knowing. Almost giddy. It was the best question you've asked.Yes, I did. My apologies if my question was not clear.

Belief is cheap.
Inquiry is difficult.

I was highly interested in the question about knowing. Almost giddy. It was the best question you've asked.
But with the "belief" revision - not so much.
I have a Creator. I don't have a god.
That's like asking a computer to describe its creator. Different worlds.
That's not very kind.
No worries. I appreciate your presence here.True. It wasn't. I owe you an apology. As way of explanation (not justification), I suppose I'm growing weary of jumping through hoops and then still hitting a brick wall. All I want is dialogue. How can we commence a dialogue on the original post? Since you cannot abide my approach, feel free to offer an alternative that would move us past all of the posturing and into a real discussion.

We know there is a creator because there is creation. For me, what's intriguing is how we know Creator.
The more knowing I have, the fewer conclusions I tend to make. It's such a beautiful thing - and so hard to put into words. If there is one statement - or conclusion - that still feels appropriate, it's "God Is."
You should bear in mind that people don't always look like their picture.Though we will never capture the essence of the creator with human language, is it acceptable to explore with words who he (or she or it) is?

How do we know that we are in love?
Here's a different question. How do we know as creation?

We know because we are [here].
