God is not an observation to be explained. God is an explanation that makes predictions. Unfortunately those predictions are of no scientific value, because any such predictions that did have scientific value have failed to support the hypothesis.
I've just read a book called Accelerando (Charles Stross).
I have a weakness for trashy sci-fi novels.
This book however, like many other sci-fi books did have an attempt
of explaining 'God'.
Isn't science in its entirely about unravelling they mystery's of 'God'
after all?
Why shouldn't we have a handle on this expression?

This was done after babel incident as man refused to obay God so he gave them up to worship these lesser gods Idols in other words you see it still going on today the proper term for them is the (sons of God) Bene Elyon in the Hebrew,
There is one thing about the christian god that bugs me, it says 'Thou shall have no other god's before me'. Isn't that a big hint that THE god admits there ARE other gods, but maybe not just as powerful as THE god?
When God brought Israel out of Egypt he made a mockery of the 10 little "g" gods to show who was in charge.
Angels is a bad descriptive term but if it makes it easier to understand thats what they are. Nevertheless they were created so are not even close the true and Living God.
They could be the pricipalites powers and dominions mentioned in the New Testament ?

I have a question
When you have two sets of "facts" in which one contradicts the other, doesn't that make both statements wrong?
What I mean is, if there can only one God, and can also be many gods, doesn't that mean that there exists no God at all?
Maybe they're just personifications given by different cultures about their own values and code of morals.

Fact 2: You wrote your posting in Klingon.
I refute your statement that two contradicting statements must both be wrong.
