That's the point. To make the concept of Divinity acceptable to science, it must have the aspect of appearing as "nothing special" in the sense that it is natural, evolved, cumulative, all-encompassing, voluntary and timeless.
That does not mean that to any one individual, the concept cannot be perceived to be what Gibbs calls the Catholic god (omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent etc.) IOW - Divinity ... like lightspeed... is relative to the observer -----Original Message----- From: Edmund Storms But whose mind? Which group? I believe minds do communicate in unconventional ways, but this is a natural aspect of how nature works. Minds of birds and fish clearly communicate directly. This behavior can be seen in other animals as well. Even certain humans have this ability to a small extent. However, this ability is a natural part of how the universe is designed and is nothing special. The big question is, In whose mind is the universe itself? What size is the collective mind that communicates information between all intelligent lif-forms throughout the universe? Ed
