Just as there is no proof of this god creature you all keep talking about like it's a him. There is much more overwhelming proof of God, (source energy) within man then anything else. All one has to do is look around.

You were talking about a 3 sided square and the impossibilities of referring to how 'we' have defined the square. 'We' have also defined the God so 'we' cannot logically fathom anything outside our perception of our definition.

You say, "how can I get to 100 if I never start counting?" that is the whole point. If you don't have a specific number to start from like, -1000, you will never ever get to 100. You absolutely must have a starting point otherwise you can't get to 100.
In this example 100 is a representation of 'now', 'here', or 'present day' (ignoring the fact that 'now' is always 'moving' to keep things simpler)
You will never ever count to 100 unless you start counting at a specific number. How can the universe have no beginning and get to present day?
Yeah, caveman logic. If the caveman cannot start the counting from a specific point then how is he or she to arrive here? While the caveman tries to figure this out, other cave men come to assist. Together these cave men come up with a solution but it's only good enough to last until the next cave man comes along and shows them another way to count.
Meanwhile, years and decades and centuries pass and today the caveman is still doing the same thing. All this time the sun kept rising the seasons changed the earth evolved and the caveman evolved. The only thing that has yet to evolve is the cave man's thinking. He's still in the cave trying to figure out how you can get to 100 without a starting point. Meanwhile the caveman has built cities and economic systems, discovered the moon, created religions, discovered thermodynamics and all these other things. Now all the caveman has to do is come out of the cave and see what he has become and what it is that he has created and see that today is not different then yesterday when it comes to time... the only difference is what the caveman thought and then created.
There is no beginning and no end. The number starts and ends at One. 1. There's no need to count further. If our cavemen could figure out the significance in the first number, the others are simply caveman logic at work today.

Sure they can. You do. The bible does. So does every other swinging donkey in the world today and yesterday. They say god does this and god does that and people believe it or fall for it or are simply to caught up in the physical existence and ego to go deeper into the rabbit hole to actually take a look around.
Man has said what God can and what God cannot do for thousands of years which has formed what we call god today... Yet another dogma of man.

Says who?... MAN. Let's correct this now. You are disagreeing with me and paraphrasing something from a story that man said. So if God created man, then why is man defining god? Man called it god. Heck, god used to be the sun god before we came up with a more fashionable alternative. My point is man created your definition of god and your disagreement is only because you believe another man. LOL. You are not alone in this.
God created man because man says he did. God is a 'he', because man said he is. He was a male because men and women were not equal in those days... Therefore according to man, God is a man. LOL. Who said that god created man in his own image?... Another man! I'm not sure what there is to disagree with. If man did not create this god you all are talking about then I'm the pope... because I said I am.
I'm not trying to be critical of anyone here I just look at things differently than most and always have. If you want to believe someone's definition of god, who at the time thought the world was flat and there was no such thing as airplanes or quantum physics, then by all mean go ahead but to me, that seems absurd to say the least. I feel as though I'm here in this world among people who do nothing but follow each other around and assuming anything and everything with blinders on.

Does the man say he can? What does man say about this?

What does man say? What did man say in the bible?
