Does any of this apply in another dimension?
The bible says one day to God can be like a thousand years, what does that mean, and how can that be possible with the absolutes we have set on the universe/time/distance?
You really think if we die, leave our body's, we are going to be in the same realm as now?
You really think if God can speak the universe into existence, that any of these minuscule things apply to Him?
You think an ant can describe/fathom how the Apollo rocket ship got to the moon?

You are just making a bunch of assertions, and not backing it up with anything.
You think we know it all, because we label 2+2=4, then contradict yourself and say "though we know sometimes that we have not enough information to determine something."
Sounds like you do not have enough information about God.

Think about that for a second
I thought about since I was a child. One visit from God can change all that. Once you experience the tiniest touch of His love, all these words and ideas you present become useless thoughts.
Moreover, all you guys are doing is saying statements which are supposed to be fact,
You are the one with all the facts. I believe in God by faith.
OHHHHHHHHH wait a second; people on here ARE saying repeatedly that 2+2 doesnt have to equal 4.
What a pity.
You need to study more.
2 + 2 = 5 - Wikipedia
2+2=4 is a just a representation of what we see. 2 tires + 2 tires = 1 pile of tires.
You are making to large of a leap saying that because we invented 2+2=4, that "god" is impossible. How dare you compare 2+2=4 with the complexity of God, or anything complex for that reason. There are several math equations still not solved today, yet because 2+2=4 means there is no God. Just sillyness.
*edit* PS, impossible can be a relative term. Many things were impossible just a few years ago.

This means that most religious people are basing their (incorrect, mind you) "beliefs" on evidence(if any) that has to be faulty
A common mistake by many people is confusing God with religion. Religion is run by man. Our faith is subjective. We are only here to learn and grow.
