This is such a terrific news group posting. Especially with such a powerful
statement like "Deities cannot exist because of their consciousness". I
paticularly loved the last post's statement, "Could you tell us what is
God?"
I actually looked at a few of the postings. Definitely we should applaud at
the attempts that each of you undertook for trying to tactile such a
circular argument (this isn't meant to sound condescending or patronizing).
Let us not forget that this argument is entirely restricted by the
circularity and the ambiguity of the terms and concepts that we apply for
such a discussion. Semantics, by their own virtue, limit answering (fully)
such ambiguous (and even affectively dependent) discussions. (This doesn't
mean we should not discuss them, however, we must be aware that there really
is no complete or true answer to a question which by virtue is set upon
largely abstract, vague and ambiguous terminology.)
In response to a previous writters comment that stated, "Have you ever met
Walter Freeman?". (I really didn't see the relevance in that statement (and
apologize for that), however, "have you ever met Roger Penrose or ate lunch
with David Hubel?" The truth of the matter is "who cares"!!!!!!)
