God is an idea held by the vast majority of homosapiens since even before Civilization.
Yes, there've been thousands of gods. Most of them now abandoned as we learn more. The more we learn, the less people believe. That's why religious believe is declining in the West.
The study of that idea is theology.
Theology is actually the study of religious beliefs about god. Ie what people believe about god. God cannot be studied. If he could we wouldn't need belief.
Science has disproved claims of people who believe in transcendent ideas. It's impossible to disprove the idea of transcendence. All you have is the disprovance of specific claims.
Is there a difference between what people claim about transcendence and people's ideas about transcendence?
The whole conversation we have been having is in reference to your comments in post 592.
I'm not just commenting just on that particular quote of yours, it's the entire conversation - it's just such a fantastical work of pure imagination.
Quoting Humpty Dumpty from Alice in Wonderland is the nearest I can get to explaining how totally preposterous I find this whole portion of thread is.
I can't believe that grown-ups can 'think' this way.
Faith's whole conversation is identical to pure works of fantasy like Alice in Wonderland in your mind. You don't seem to be able to fathom how anyone could possibly think that way. My posts to you have been an effort to show you it's not unreasonable for faith to think that way. Not only has it been common among the majority of humans for most of their existence; there are valid reasons for people to think that way today.
Show me why you feel that is wrong.
