You have a somewhat "loose" definition of what or who god is. If I defined the word god is life, truth, and love then I would be a believer. You must understand, that the looser our definition becomes, the more meaningless the concept is.

I know I said I wasn't playing any more, but this jumped out at me. I'm not so learned as Principled as to try to give any kind of lengthy analysis. But to me, this is sort of the crux of the matter, as I think the opposite. The more one tries to tie "God" down to any specific definition understandable by mere mortals, the more meaningless the concept becomes.

I also fail to understand why I should have to defend anything. I don't, because I'm not trying to persuade anyone to my way of thinking. Live and let live...

Thanks Giles, I enjoyed your link.

Hee hee - I left school at 16 Scott, but you make me feel like Prof McGonnegal in Harry Potter, with her high witches hat! 😀 Liked your post too!

Hi Judy,

Evolution is usually thought to be coincidental alterations within living creatures, the successful of which "stick".

(I've never seen a reason for the existence of evolution to discount God, in other words.)
