Never boxed infinity. I have wrestled with it a few times.This isn't a competition. I'm not arguing. You want me to frame my answers so they will conform to a concept you are holding. It would be like boxing infinity. It can't be done.

You will be building it for an awful long time.Sure it can. You just need an infinite box.
No mention of God in this explanation. Why aren't you simply a part of nature?An understanding that there is no separation between me and everything else.
I'm part of something much larger. Also, what is nature?No mention of God in this explanation. Why aren't you simply a part of nature?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HominidaeThe Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnɪdiː/), whose members are known as great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo, the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan; Gorilla, the eastern and western gorilla; Pan, the common chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, which includes modern humans and its extinct relatives (e.g., the Neanderthal), and ancestors, such as Homo erectus
So, I am a sentient part of god? Then, was god sentient before there were sentient organisms?
A motivated intelligence ? Of all interpretations and metaphors, this would seem the least possible state of being before the Beginning, IMO.
I follow that line of thinking but for motivated intent.Not god so much but a being .
Intelligence is beyond just periodic table elements .
Intelligence uses what is available in the enviroment to manifest forms of life .
The devil might be the doubt that separates people from God and from each other. Possibly?The opposite of God?
Nope. Not an independent creation. We are all part of long ancient process.You're not separate from nature, not an independent creature?

Pseudo-intelligence can be creative and that does not require sentient motivation, which IMO is the greatest stumbling block of the spiritual approach.
We have evidence that pseudo-intelligence can be creative, without intent. We have no evidence that creation requires the other.
