Cicerone said: Your god is "invisible," but you can see it? LOL
Jesus said- "God is spirit," (John 4:24)
so of course he's invisible..
But he fills the universe- "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" (Jer 23:24)
so he's like the water in a goldfish bowl and we're the goldfish- "For in him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28)
In fact he's a bit like The Force which we can take power from-
"After Jesus spent the night in prayer, everybody tried to touch him because power was coming from him" (Luke 6:12-19)
Jesus said - "Someone touched me, I know that power has gone out from me." (Luke 8:46)
and we too can "touch" him and get a power download by just mumbling a few words to get connected such as "Jesus remember me" when we're feeling fed up, lonely, tired..
Except for the fact that many can accept both without any problems with all the contradictions that it poses.
You know; christians are also scientists and scientists are christians.

Good point, technically I'm a scientist myself because I passed the College of Preceptors exams in General Science and Advanced Science, and have worked in a couple of labs..
So as a truth-seeking open-minded scientist, it seems only logical for me to listen to a guy (JC) who said "I'm not from this world...I'll tell you things hidden since the beginning of the world"
Hey Spock will you listen to him?
"Oh please Romeo, I refuse to say "I'm all ears" just to give you a cheap laugh!"
Try to remain calm...and maybe you will start to make some sense.
Do it as a New Year's resolution. Try: I will remain calm...and attempt to make some sense. Wink
When you get calm...I'll actually start responding more to individual items.
We'll have fun.
haha nice try at avoiding all the content of my previous post. more like i won't bother responding to you anymore until you address every point i made in my previous post. haha. idiot. think you can ignore all my ****? no.

Ahhh...still not calm, I see.
Well...when you are, I will respond to some specific items.
As for "ignore your ****"...NEVER. I will read and enjoy every word you write. Laugh out loud at times!!!
He just did. I don't know why he didn't do it sooner.
Actually, I am not ignoring the ****. I am recognizing it as ****. I enjoy leading him, Izzy...there is more entertainment in it than a Killer Sudoku (which I am now doing in the "hard" category.)
I take the Heideggerian approach that "time" is co-extensive with "being". There are no "beings" except for ephemeral constructions by observers. There is no "reality" beyond agreement of descriptions among co-constructing observers.
(see the Rorty Clip pragmatists background to this).
The ontological status of mathematical entities like numbers may be a separate issue because unless such numbers are used to model descriptions of an "agreed word" their status is merely a function of the agreed combinatorial operations which can be applied to them as abstractions. Paul Cohen's work on the continuum hypothesis may be of some ontological significance to your views about "infinity" in this matter.
