Well, dear fellow God knowers, I guess you folks are still getting your thoughts together, to work as to concur with me on what it is to explain something.
Anyway, I will just go ahead to give all readers what it is to ask rational questions, for in sum to explain something is to ask and answer all rational questions on anything at all that is existing either in our mind, that is the conceptual realm, or more importantly in the realm outside and independent of our mind, what I call the objectival realm.
So, for example, I am going to explain God exists, that means I am going to ask all rational questions on God existing.
What are rational questions?
They are questions for example asked by news reporters who must report on the facts, period.
And how do reporters write and transmit a piece of news on the facts?
Simple, they ask questions which have to do with the facts in a news worthy event.
What are these facts oriented questions which are therefore rational questions, the opposite of which are irrational questions?
Here, they ask questions which cover the five w's and one h of good reporting on a news worthy event, as follow:
Who
What
Where
When
Why
How
So, dear fellow God knowers, to explain God existing we answer the five w’s and one h questions above, as follow below.
Who is God?
What is God?
Where is God?
When is (i.e. exists) God?
Why is (i.e. exists) God?
How does God exist?
What do you, Oh God knowers, say about asking rational questions, Oh dear fellow God knowers here?
For your further orientation, please read again my previous post on adopting a new tack in this thread of mine, on How to prove God exists, in ANNEX below.
See you all guys again tomorrow.

Dear readers here, thanks for your presence, it is most gratifying that my thread is being read and reacted to.
Now I will go into a different tack in my exposition on how to prove God exists, God in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
As I said in my last post yesterday, I will now take up the concept of what it is to explain something, ultimately in re God exists or not.
I like to invite the Christian theists here or even just theists or even just deists to interact with me.
Addressing Michael, what do you think about my endeavor now to expound on what it is to explain something?
Here goes:
What is explanation?
Before anything else, it has to do with man’s need to come to grasp as to make something clear to his mind, so that every question in his mind is answered in regard to the something which he is trying to come to clarity in his mind.
So, dear Michael and fellow theists and deists of all stripes whatsoever, as long as you have an idea of what in concept is God for myself, namely:
“God in concept is first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."
I love to interact with you on what it is to explain something to us, human beings socalled rational animals.
At this moment let us work together to concur that explanation has to do with comprehending something on our part, human beings, you all theists and deists, or in short God knowers (God in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning), comprehending something as to achieve clarity on it, namely, that all rational questions over it are answered to our satisfaction.
So, dear fellow God knowers here, let you and me interact on these questions for the present at this point in time:
1. And who is asking questions in regard to explanation of something? Human beings, rational animals, you and I, fellow God knowers.
2. What kind of questions? Rational questions.
3. Questions over what something? Something is understood as anything at all, whether in our mind i.e. the conceptual realm, or in particular in the objectival realm of existence outside and independent of our mind.
4. What is achieving clarity by way of explanation? Clarity so that all rational questions on the something or on the thing whatsoever are answered, that the rational mind of man is satisfied i.e. at peace in regard to his curiosity over the something.
Dear fellow God knowers, see if you will add to the above at this point in time to the four items above.
See you guys here reading this thread again, tomorrow.
I almost forgot, the purpose of my present tack is to avoid the self-obfuscation and self-obscurantism with atheists’ thinking and writing.
