What would make one reality more real than another? To a physicist pressure is a perfectly real concept, and the idea that pressure makes a balloon expand is true. And the concept that a million billion trillion gas molecules are pushing on the inside of a balloon making it expand is also true. Both ideas exist and both are true, so why is one idea more real than another? > This is useful to realize that the question "is god a person or a thing" > is an open problem. > The open question is rather mundane, it is what the English 3 letter word "G-O-D" means. In my personal opinion if you mean something that is not omniscient not omnipotent not omnipresent not conscious is as dumb as a stump and is not even a being it would only be good manners to use a word other than God as that word is already taken for something else.
