I can understand how you can define something that doesn't exist, I can understand haw a definition can be so general it is useless, but I can't understand what a "naive" definition is. And if the majority of speakers of a language aren't the ones who give words in that language their meaning then who does? > > > The greek theory was > [blah blah blah] > > I don't give a hoot in hell what the Greek theory was because most of them were ignoramuses by today's standards, especially Aristotle and Plato. Greek cosmology was not only dead wrong it was stupid, so can we please stop talking about the damn thing! I don't care if you call it G-O-D or D-O-G, there is only one important question, is consciousness responsible for the existence of the of the universe or not. I say no. You say I don't know, you say you don't even know if God is intelligent but you do know that God exists. I say if "God" is neither intelligent nor conscious then "God" may exists for all I know, it depends on what the 3 ASCII characters G-O-D mean in Bruno-speak. > > I think JC confuse "God" the concept, and one particular theory of God > I am not at all confused with the difference between a intelligent or super-intelligent conscious being creating the universe and a mindless amoral fuzzy blob creating the universe. And if I ever get confused as to the meaning of any English word, "God" included, I can just ask Google and my confusion will be cured in seconds. However what I am deeply confused about is exactly what it is that I'm supposed to confused about. > > > Plato was open that Aristotle theology could be correct. > Then Plato was as stupid as Aristotle.
