In different paradigms questions cease to have meaning.
Let’s explore this by looking at an electron.
The question I pose is , ‘What colour is an electron?’
In the paradigm of Classical Physics, that would have meaning. You can think of a little spinning sphere, orbiting a nucleus. Something like the Earth orbiting the Sun. In the case of the Earth, it is blue.
But in the paradigm of Quantum Physics, an electron is not even a particle, it has properties of a wave, simultaneously.
Let’s look at another. Between the Flat Earth and Classical Physics, I pose the question, ‘What happens if you fall off the edge of the Earth?’ It has meaning in the Flat Earth paradigm. But is gibberish in Classical Physics.
So then to the question you pose. ‘What sex has God?’. It has no meaning.
