And how do you determine that God is an "it"?
What is your epistemological reference point?

And how do you determine that God is an "it"?How you determined that "god" exists, how
you determined it's infinite and what quality
this special -order "type" of infinity makes it
Impossible to have any facts
(like that it exists or is infinite?) Is left out.
Did I say it did? I don't know whether it is possible or not. I think, for a variety of substantive reasons, that it probably is. Equally, for some of those same reasons, I expect it to take a considerable time to achieve, requiring techniques and understanding we do not currently possess. Therefore, more time greatly increases the opportunity to demonstrate what you think impossible is, in fact, possible.Adding lots of time doesn't somehow make the impossible possible.
Working overtime to eradicate that soul competency from our nature, are they?
And added age to boot... Thus the deception.I believe the point being laboriously made is that God cleaned up to such an extent that He left no evidence of a flood.
The mystical Beguine women of the Medieval time period when writing about their spiritual union with God often wrote about the infinite kissing the infinite. It's a point where all mental concepts of God had to be left behind.Are you referring to different ways to be infinite?
Oh good grief. Who gave you a license to psychologically analyze me? I could do the same to you, but that's not what the topic is about.You are avoiding the question. I suspect because you don't want to admit that this is a very real possibility and the fear associated with doing so - specifically, having to admit there is a very real potential that your WV is wrong. I get it, to have to acknowledge that everything you believe from perhaps when you were little is wrong, is very disconcerting

Well if raisin bread can deceive you, I imagine embedded age would.And added age to boot... Thus the deception.

Here's a hypothetical, just for you:It would help if you could offer some rational reasons why these possibilities couldn't happen or are improbable to happen. I'm open to hearing your ideas, insights or knowledge provided they don't rely on silly arguments such as a god deceiving us or removing all the evidence (this type of god is not worth considering) - "this type of strategy is fine for a child who doesn't know what else do say but for a grown up... not acceptable - "Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men". These types of arguments can basically make anything we want happen and feed into all our natural biases and prejudices.
It's what the Earth is actually showing us is where Embedded Age/Maturity is deceptive and not truthful. And if that's a thing of God, as is your take, that makes God deceptive and not truthful. God, as I know and understand Truth, is unable to deceive.Well if raisin bread can deceive you, I imagine embedded age would.
And let me guess.It's what the Earth is actually showing us is where Embedded Age/Maturity is deceptive and not truthful.
There is no such thing as ”coming into existance old”. Old by definition means its, well old, and that time has passed.And let me guess.
The earth is showing you it grew old, not came into existence old; is that correct?
[/QUOTE]Fine I suppose in some poetic way.
The claim seemed to have been that the hypothetical
Infinite nature of God makes it impossible to have any facts
about same.
How that makes sense seems to be lost in the snark and
general fog of aggravated obscurantism.
There are some fourteen definitions of the word "old."There is no such thing as ”coming into existance old”. Old by definition means its, well old, and that time has passed.
Semantics is all you have.There are some fourteen definitions of the word "old."
Yes.And let me guess.
The earth is showing you it grew old, not came into existence old; is that correct?
