So there is not one God there are an infiniti of them, and not one of those Gods is as intelligent as a snail or has any consciousness and far from being all powerful none of those Gods is capable of doing anything because God is just a number; He isn't even a vector, God is only a scalar. Bruno, you seem to think if you can just make the right definitions you can unlock the secrets of reality but by inventing your own personal language all you do is confuse people, and the easiest person to confuse is yourself.
