Of course, any one of us could be God, or not.
Absolutely! I know that I am not.
An interesting extension of this, is that New Agers and other Pantheists believe that that is precisely the case. They believe that we are in fact God.
Genesis 3:5
"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
It is also known as humanism.

Some people might. And there are other people who think that a natural explanation is a pretty good bet unless and until they have good reason to believe otherwise.
What is a good reason?

That reminds me... I wanted to suggest we have a one on one discussion on the need for a cause. We were discussing it earlier in this thread. Perhaps a great debate, but I really don't want a win or lose tooth and claw debate so much as an open discussion with you on the subject. I absolutely adore the way you think.
Would you be willing to go back and find those exchanges and propose such a senario?

I am very concerned we are going to get slapped for topic violation. Would you like to propose a great debate in which we can let the topics and disciplines fly?

If man becomes the God of the world (which he has) through his suducing spirit (the serpent), then what we have is humanism.
Fortunately, God will not allow that to be absolute, because He is good. All of this msery and decay brought about by our humanistic optimism, will be one day reconciled once and for all.
