> dhw: Indeed. And note that "and/or" also allows for the UNREALITY of God if there are vastly many, very varied universes. So it would appear that John Leslie's argument and mine are identically agnostic.-No, Leslie is simply allowing that your form of agnosticism cannot be logically refuted.

> dhw: I'm also surprised that since human consciousness is so complex as to defy all our scientists' attempts to understand it, you should consider divine consciousness to be utterly simple. If this is so, do please explain how pure energy can "simply" be conscious of itself, whereas the consciousness of energy in the form of matter is beyond our understanding.-I don't have enough background in theology to do more than offer the comment, as I did, that God is considered utterly simple by theologans. As you consider consciousness beyond our understanding, as God is also beyond understanding.
