My latest definition of God.

This is an invitation to every human to criticize my latest defintion of God, namely:

"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

Hi Thodsis, do you know something about the Big Bang, latest news is that scientists acknowledge that the universe has a beginning.

From my part, I draw the implication that God exists, as the the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient.

Thanks for the invitation. It's an uncommonly generous one.

What is a spirit?

What does 'self-existent' mean?

Is this god a perverse puppeteer?

@yrger
the universe has a beginning

How so?

The universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago... an event which permitted spacetime. It is therefore meaningless to talk about ‘before’ that event, or to surmise anything about the universe as a singularity.

It is certainly meaningless to say that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe.

I get the distinct impression, he isn’t interested in engaging you in this discussion.
