Redefining "god" again to try to circumnavigate science. Trying to keep the ancient superstition viable and alive.

How can you lose with a panentheistic god? It's MORE than everything!

No amount of logic can make that make sense.

Y'know how when Lawrence Krauss did his lecture (and book) on "A Universe From Nothing" theists clung to the "your definition of nothing is not nothing...." I wonder if we'll get a bunch of arguments on the definition of "everything".

(BTW.... the theists kept moving the goalpost for what could reasonably be called "nothing" until the definition for a "real" nothing was "that from which only god can create." )
