Intelligent Design is not creationism

God by definition is omnipresent, so no need to "add" that term.

As explained above, God "adding" to Himself, taking from Himself, and moving it to another part of Himself all happens with God, who is omnipresent.

Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent are all descriptions of God's nature.

These terms don't define God or limit God, we try to use words to describe understand God who is beyond the limits of this universe.

The English language is very tricky because the words can mean different things.

This is why some philosophers in the past have said that God cannot be defined, because defining by the human mind is imposing a limited condition of boundaries of conditions words onto that which cannot be bound or be subject to external conditions.

 

...you are defining God limitations.

 

Because god can not add to himself or take away from himself, Then god is limited to one size.

 

Quite so

 

No, you are reading limitations into my definition.

 

God has no size, so God is not limited to one size.

The concept of size does not apply to God.

Size is a relativistic term, as it relates to different sizes or something that can be measured.

God is not relativistic, and God is immeasurable. There is nothing that can measure God, as there is nothing outside of God. Measurement is a comparative process. It begins at one point in time, and then records the measurement or distance from that starting point to a different point in time.

God is without comparison.

There is no point which is not God, no time or space which is not God, so the idea of a size of God is absurd.

 

.... are all limitations of God

 

God is not limited by definition.

God has no material limitations, which you are attempting to absurdly impose on God.

 

... limitation

... limitation

...limitation

.....limitation

....limitation

What's the harm in admitting that a conceptualization of god has limits? How is that disparaging?

If your conceptualization is that God is the highest of the high, wouldn't it stand to reason that God can do all POSSIBLE things?


For instance, in relation to omnipotence, wouldn't stand to reason that God is the most powerful entity in existence? Clearly, there is no conceptualization of God where God can do any and everything. But at the same time, there is no known conceptualization where anything is more powerful than god.

Or in relation to omniscience, God would know all that can be known.

If God can't do something, it's a limit. Big deal. Most modern conceptualizations of God are still more powerful than anything created. And isn't that what counts?
