So, we have now determined that the multitudinous, specialized gods of Greece (and since Romans were nothing more than dumb Greek copycats) & Rome are not considered to be gods in this debate. I take it that the Egyptian and Norse gods also fall in this category. With that said, I'll now go out on a limb here and assume that polydeism is disqualified from this debate. We are dealing with one sole god. That, or some version of pantheism. Okay, this is good; we have narrowed the definition of a god (and expanded its scope some). In a previous post, you mentioned that this "proof" of yours is in the same realm as a mathematical theorem. So, I'm assuming we're dealing with a possible equation here? Perhaps a probability theorem? Basically what I'm asking is: does your "proof" stem from the anthropic principle?
Admittedly this is very little progress, but it is progress nonetheless.
