I always did admire Bertrand Russell.

In this sense, you are giving God anthropomorphic qualities. I know God takes many shapes according to many beliefs. I'm pretty sure Allah is something that which cannot be defined, so giving it humanistic characteristics would be a bit off in some cases. I know some scientists like to think that 'God' was behind the big bang and then sort of washed 'His' hands of everything else and let nature take its course.

With the utter vastness of the universe, it's hard to say what is out there. It's certainly a fun thing to imagine. But a God that is human-esque escapes creativity. We tend to go with what we are familiar with. I can imagine other civilizations, but nothing supernatural out there.

Just as an aside, void of light in space, we can 'see' things out there that aren't in the visible spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum spans many wavelengths.

For those who think there must ultimately be some explanation for everything, some have suggested that for "god" we substitute "principle of existence" or "why there is something instead of nothing:" both perfectly nebulous and content-neutral terms, but without the tendency to anthropomorphize. I don't really worry about it that much.

I think it doesn't even matter. As long as you Live a Good Life with basic respect for your Fellow Man and do Good while you are here on Earth you will be Fine. One thing I don't like is People who Push their Religious Laws off on other People who do not share those beliefs. Especially when those Religious Beliefs are manmade certainly not from any god and based on pure Hokum.

Peace*

I am as sure as I can be without putting any faith into it.

I AM 100% POSITIVE THERE IS A CAPS LOCK KEY.

You say you are positive about your statement, yet a) at no time do you tell us where this mythical key actually IS, b) you fail to describe it c) simply pressing and holding the SHIFT key can provide the same results, except for the 100, which leads to certain questions, d) it may be a deep seated fault with the keyboard e) no extant religious texts reference this key f) the great creator of the squishy keyboard, Sinclair zx81, never had a capslock key, therefore, (takes deep breath)...

... I put it to you that you have secretly been to a weekend capslock camp, and have come away from it with your head full of unprovable key definitions, perhaps even a firm belief in the F13 key or that windows is the perfect operating system. Grundgetta, keyvolution is a false belief, but if you come back to the fold, we'll forgive you, help your guilt, and maybe even provide tea and biscuits.

Obviously, Skraeling, the key takeaway is...wait. What's this about tea and biscuits?

Nono, the cups are huge, and the bag of biscuits is too heavy to lift. Its a HUGE ploy.

(note, never use the words "its just a little one" to a guy....)

:D
