I'm not bothering to read most of these posts--they're too long!
If you want them read shorten them up to a few pithy points. On these threads, extreme length in a post does not add to the discussion no matter how good the material might be.
All I need to show is that the word "god" is a meaningless word (especially when used by a deist) that lacks any description or characteristic.
Rather, there are
too many descriptions and characteristics; virtually all are contradictory, and none are supported by empirical evidence.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
