> Tony: It is not so much a limitation of God's power or abilities. He may or may not be limited in what he can do. -The impression I get from religion's description of God is that He is all powerful and can design and do anything He wants. he can intervene at any time and geet things done his way. You are not decribing that at all.-> 
> Tony: Who knows the system better than it's designer and architect? ........However, there is a difference in saying that the system's architect knows everything about the system and saying that the system's architect knows everything there is to know.-Again, not the God as inferred by most religions. They say: He knows your every thought and can step into every system and fix it to his liking. your god is more like my concept.

> Tony: I am not as certain on the subject of Omnipresence. On one hand, there is the concept that "God" entails all of the energy of the universe come sentient, so that all things would by necessity be part of him. On the other, there are numerous references throughout the scriptures of every religion that see limitations of form put on God. I do not know which is correct, and I can only speculate. -As do the religions, because they don't know any more than you or I.

> Tony: As for god being limited in the sense of your first paragraph, I think you misunderstand. What I am talking about is limitations of the system, not of the designer. -An omniscient God should be able to expect every outcome of his invented system. Yours can't, therefore, yours has very definite limits in his powers.-You sound alot like me. But my thought is that we cannot know if God has any limits to his powers. That is why I presume not to make definite statements.-I fully understand your approach to ecosystems. With living organisms, they have to live ahd die and evolve to set up the checks abd balances that make a balanced system. And it is the same to create a life-bearing Earth from a big rock with a nickel-iron core. But religion's god knows the outcome in advance. Obviously as a theist, or deist(?) you only accept a portion of that statement.
