If there is a GOD it would be beyond anyone's scope of comprehension. That is the problem with both atheists and theists. They lack the understanding that GOD is beyond their comprehension. You CAN'T know what GOD thinks or wants. No one solution fits all instances. Life is complex. So are it's solutions. This is where we fail miserably. It's being unveiled now. How we deal with it and if we progress to understand these complexities remain to be seen. To answer your question: Neither and both. It's an unanswerable question.

To which deity do you refer? MineralMan Oct 2012 #15

If they are infinite, which I believe they are, we can not. cbayer Oct 2012 #21

That's interesting; scientific consensus is that it's not infinite muriel_volestrangler Oct 2012 #25

Actually, I don't agree that there is consensus at all. cbayer Oct 2012 #26

Consensus is that there was a Big Bang muriel_volestrangler Oct 2012 #29

Pointing out things you don't know isn't condescending. trotsky Oct 2012 #37

Why does it seem impossible. MineralMan Oct 2012 #23

I think that by definition, infinity is difficult to imagine... cbayer Oct 2012 #24

Infinity and hundreds of billions are MineralMan Oct 2012 #27

I believe that a good intro to calculus is the best way to get a "feel" for infinity. trotsky Oct 2012 #38

And, as x decreases the result approaches infinity. MineralMan Oct 2012 #39

I wonder if cbayer has taken any higher math. trotsky Oct 2012 #42

I have no idea. I ended my math education after the second MineralMan Oct 2012 #43
