    The definition of God is “the transcendental origin of everything”. The thread is quite specific.
    Science enquiry begins at some point after the initial explosion. So yes God Himself maybe unscientific, but not God’s effects.
    For the Big Bang (universe comes into being) to have occurred, there must have been some transcendental cause. Even if that cause was nothing.

    You know that the money is to fix the leaking church roofs yes?

    Don't see how having 3 private jets helps but am sure it could be explained to me in one syllable words

    Except they are just words and have no meaning as far as science and the scientific methodology is concerned. Particularly when it is supported by the evidence as well as history and the superfluous nature of such a creature, as science has shown.
    Nonsensical gobbldydook and again an insideous attempt at redefining words to support your baggage.

    The concept of god/s is "Mythical entities dreamed up before science reared its head, to explain the wonders of the universe around him/her."

    or perhaps....God/s are unscientific, unevidenced mythical concepts, ignorantly fabricated to avoid the reality and finality of death, by substituting a warm, inner pleasurable feeling.

    Obviously you the lack the courage and the knowledge to discuss the BB in a scientific fashion in the appropriate thread I started.

    I also remember reading somewhere a more precise definition of god/s.....
    "the God Hypothesis – is untenable. God almost certainly does not exist".
    Richard Dawkins:

    In contrast Dawkins offers a definition also of Atheism....
    "An atheist in this sense of philosophical naturalist is somebody who believes there is nothing beyond the natural, physical world, no supernatural creative intelligence lurking behind the observable universe, no soul that outlasts the body and no miracles — except in the sense of natural phenomena that we don’t yet understand".

    I also find the following relevant to the thread title...
    "the God Hypothesis comes in many versions. Historians of religion recognize a progression from primitive tribal animisms, through polytheisms such as those of the Greeks, Romans and Norsemen, to monotheisms such as Judaism and its derivatives, Christianity and Islam"
    The preceding Quotes defining god/s are from Dawkin's book, "The God Delusion"

    When did “science” rear its head”?
    We’re not discussing the Big Bang here.
    You said the universe came about because of the BB. That being said, there must be a cause.
    Either God (per definition), or nothing.
    I am sure, even you do not believe it was nothing (why would you?), but are afraid to discuss the remaining one. This is high grade denial, and rejection. So you can dance all you like. But everyone, can see you are running.

    How is this relevant to the thread?
    This thread asks for a definition of God. Not an explanation.

    It was a gradual process and examples have been given, which like any lying creationist, you chose to ignore.
    Why do you lack the courage do discuss the BB in the appropriate thread?
    The usual pretentious nervous laughter again, to cover the lies, obtuseness and general dishonesty.
    Without science my friend, and without the basis of the facts of Darwinism and the theory of evolution, you would still be swinging in the trees!
    Wow! Perhaps a disprin and a good lay down before you get any more frustrated and excited?
    Oh, and it is very relevant to the thread...if you object, you know what to do.

    My grandma, what narrow minded vision you have.

    Jan's worldview = God or nothing. Are you sure you're actually offering a choice there, Jan?

    Or, is your statement more along the lines of: "It's my way or the highway!"

    And you did say the universe came about as a result of the BB.
    Aw! You want me to feel hurt, like you feel it.
    So much so, you have to tell yourself that I do.
    Do you have any idea how pathetic you’re being?

    Yes. To the deluded.
    No. It is literally a choice for the deluded.

    I'll stand by the recognised judgement of all that have contributed to threads you are involved in.
    Wrong again. You have failed to heed my advice by taking that disprin and having a good laydown, havn't you?

    Whatever...so tiresome arguing with recognised fools and charlatans.

    In the end, no matter how we chose to define god/s, the one underlying undeniable fact is that "god/s did not invent man: Man invented god/s"

    Dont be concerned he is just projecting yet again..you can put it down to low self esteem from being continually brain washed by the cult and presumably being conned out of his cash.

    Anyways so far I have you way ahead ..if it were a race you would be showered and on the way home and Jan just rounding the first bend.

    You do know if we went back over the years and dug up a god definition that Jan had provided and put it up now as if it was something you had arrived at we would find Jan disagreeing simply to help bolster his low self esteem and take his mind off all the cash he has given to the cult.
