Then if modern cosmologists are even close to being correct God is
not omniscient, God isn't even very smart, in fact God is as dumb as
a sack full of doorknobs.
Proof?
And that is a great example of someone more than willing to abandon
the idea of God but not the English word G-O-D.

Then my brain is God but your brain is not because I believe in a
physical universe but you have said on this list that you don't.
I never said anything like that. I said only that if comp is true,
then invoking a *primary* physical universe to explains the appearance
of a physical universe does not work.

If you redefine dragons as the animals the run in the Kentucky Derby
Race every year then the existence of dragons is quite plausible.
It is the definition used by philosophers and non confessional
theologians since more than 2500 years. It annoyes only the
fundamentalist muslims, christians, and the strong atheists, which
again confirm my point (you know the one which trigger your bot-like
answer).
