You're moving the goalposts. In the post 971

The gist of the argument was that nothing is faster than the speed of light, therefore an omnipotent God doesn't exist because the speed of light is a limit.

That's what the articles were about. Now you're restricting it to just information.

Since you're as vocabulary challenged as you are science challenged....

omnipotent: having virtually unlimited authority or influence

omnipresent: present in all places at all times

If someone is present everywhere at all times, they don't need to travel anywhere to get anywhere so the speed of light is irrelevant to God and you have not disproved God's existence.

Too bad for you.

Phil 2:9-11

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

You might enjoy this.

Contrast it with this, speaking of exceeding the speed of light. Please note that Penn is an Ivy League University (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouht, Penn).

Cheers!

I did not restrict it to just information. Reading comprehension is your friend. If that is what the articles are about then it should be easy for you to find a quote that disagrees with my statement above. Inflation doesn't disagree with the Theory of relativity. In fact inflation precisely sets the limits of what can be seen. 45 billion light years away is our event horizon, nothing can be seen or known beyond that. If that isn't a limitation for your God I don't know what is.

Since you're as vocabulary challenged as you are science challenged....

Ahh, your definition of omnipotent is different than mine (almighty or infinite in power). Your God is limited 'virtually' (1 : almost entirely : nearly) stunted so to speak. Since you agree that your God is limited, I will agree also : )

omnipresent: present in all places at all times

If someone is present everywhere at all times, they don't need to travel anywhere to get anywhere so the speed of light is irrelevant to God and you have not disproved God's existence.

If that is the case then everything is God. I am God then so why are you arguing with me? Are you my sock puppet?
