I intended the evolve comment as a little joke. Please look for humor in my writing. My writing style attempts to embed humor or subtle points throughout.
To me god is not a deity. This is the point I was “eluding”. Perhaps I am wrong in using the term god here. If this is so, then so be it. However, I view god as being the entity that established what is going on. I view atheism as asserting that god is not a deity, but god is a system. More specifically, the entity is which governs the universe would be the laws of physics. God, to me, is that which is eternal. This coincides with your “favorite” stoopid belief in yhvh. If you notice in the Bible, yes I’m bringing that illiterate work of literature into it, yhvh is known to say I am. This was understood by the Jews in the bible to be one of the sacred names of their god. This is what I am talking about. God is that which is. God is the thing which relies upon nothing to be sustained, or a self-sufficient entity. If science is the supreme truth, then physics would be the god due to the big bang. Matter may be a god, but matter is still held to the laws. If a deity is god, then this deity must exist external to matter and physics. In fact, this deity must have written the laws of physics. How many times have you heard this? 100? I just want a chance to talk it out with rational intelligent opposing minds.
