I was told that God is beyond space and time in the supernatural, where is the supernatural?
God is not imaginary to the people who believe in God. to everyone else God is imaginary.
Why the What?????What?????
So Christianity really loves science except for the bits that say things didn't happen as Genesis says they did.
Evolution is a no no but the good bits were sent to us by God but only in the last 250 or so years,
before that God left man to fend for himself and die young, usually in agony.
Why the What?????
Did you think that even the unbelievers believed in a God? is Allah and all of the other Gods imaginary?

Do Christians think that Allah and all of the other Gods are imaginary?I am sorry, I misread your post. I read it as believers felt that God was imaginary.
Fossils, DNA and so forth.
That is simply untrue. Without the theory of Punctuated Equilibrium ToE would have failed according to one of its own predictions.
You are still not clear on this. And where is the gap that your god is to fit?
"Elementary particles" have explanatory power, and scientifically agreed upon meanings. This is not the case for "gods" or "God"
Now you want qualified stories of miracles as evidence. You really want to go down that rabbit hole?
No, it wouldn't. Punk Ek was a refinement of the theory. It added to it, and learned how evolution works in certain circumstances.
So how do you determine how much information an organism has? If I presented two organisms, could you tell which has more?
Do Christians think that Allah and all of the other Gods are imaginary?
Good. I thought you may have been alluding to the number of people making this claim. The numbers are irrelevant to my point.
A dodge (you did not address the question), a straw man (I do not claim God does not exist), and an attempt to shift the burden of evidence (have we not had this conversation about you?), all in one sentence.
Again, is there one Christian that can show, in an objective manner, that they have a relationship with something outside of their own imagination?
It seems that I am not the only one claiming that it is a theory within a theory:
punctuated equilibrium (pngk ch - t d) The theory that new species evolve suddenly over relatively short periods of time (a few hundred to a thousand years), followed by longer periods in which little genetic change occurs. Punctuated equilibrium is a revision of Darwin's theory that evolution takes place at a slow, constant rate over millions of years. Compare gradualism. See Note at evolution.
Do Christians think that Allah and all of the other Gods are imaginary?
No religious beliefs fit with reality or the universe that's why they need faith in order to believe them.Christians know that Allah (which actually means God) is usually linked with Islam. Not all religions can be true, their belief systems preclude that possibility. I can't speak for all Christians, for myself, I think that other religions are distinct in their beliefs and where those beliefs fit with reality are where we can determine whether they are consistent within themselves and with the known universe. I personally have looked into the religions of the world and was lead in that process by God (I believe).
How does this pertain to what we are discussing?
No, gaps do not make it inconsistent. Inconsistencies make for inconsistency.You are the one that is unclear on this. Man describes the force by its effect. It is a gap in your naturalistic explained universe. It makes the naturalistic origin of the universe inconsistent.
Scientists - plural. And we are not talking about what it true, but what works. It means that they have terms that they can agree on and work with.So? That doesn't mean that it is true, just because scientist agree upon a meaning of something doesn't mean that it makes it true.
How does that work?The Christian worldview does have explanatory power which is consistent with what we see in the universe.
As I was with you.I was just curious with what other religious miracles you were referring to.
I think it would be better to first determine if it is not you yourself that is in the box.It wasn't even your point if I remember correctly.
The only reason that you do not claim that God does not exist is that you know that is a irrational position. Its a safe little box to hide in.
Both, actually. While difficult, it is possible to detect within oneself where self-deception is occurring.Objective to them or to someone else?
I have not left the game in progress.It seems that you are playing a little game here,
Whoa - slow down with the presuppositions there.I know that you know that there is no possible way that a being that is not present in physical form can be proven objectively to those who are not in a relationship with Him themselves.
Note that it also calls it a 'revision'. Again, all it did was better explain the theory.
So? You said it wasn't a theory within a theory which it clearly is.
No religious beliefs fit with reality or the universe that's why they need faith in order to believe them.
You're right to say that not all religions can be true but how do we tell which is and which isn't true? or is it just luck?
does being born in the right country help?
