Orac, what a vast and interesting dialogue you offer! I wish I could take the time you did, and offer a line-by-line dialogue.

However I will just quote a little bit of what you wrote:
Quote:
...I am even more cynical about things before the big bang and the article goes against me on several fronts.

I would call myself a pragmatist who is also a scientist and given the best available evidence links time strictly with space the idea of talking before time existed I find unscientific.

Trying to put it in your Religious terms I suspect you believe in GOD but is GOD one thing?
Me? As a process theologian, I say that 'god' is a process which includes all things, but is never a thing as such. What we call things emanate, like light from the sun, in the process we call evolution. You say
Quote:
I have seen you write things that sort of shows this problem and even the blessing Father, Son and Holy Spirit are these three different things or the same thing.

I had to search for this but I found the references

The Father is God. (Matthew 6:8, 7:21, Galatians 1:1)
Jesus is God from the beginning (John 1: 1-18)
The Holy Spirit is God (John 15:26, Mark 3:29, 1 Corinthians 6:19)...
So what are you saying about your belief in 'god'? Outline it for us.
