[unspun]

Well, thanks for the ping. Is this your point: somehow you believe this...

Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [1] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

...is proof of the non-existence of God? I.e., where God, as any creator turned his thoughts and intentions into an expression (in this case, of Word and Breath and into what we see as real) --except that God didn't need what we would call raw materials, because He created them.

You can call that reification until you're blue, but God calls it preparing your abode because of His love for you.

Thank you for your inspirational thoughts.

I know that you've seen the following epistemological thought before, but I'm presenting it again for others to ponder.

(Note: that in bold below is an adaptation of words and thoughts found on page 136 of "Objectivism: the Philosophy of Ayn Rand," by Leonard Piekoff.)

... The Genesis concept of God has no basis in perception, reason, or reality; it is without heirarchical roots, there are no earlier -- realistic -- concepts on which it logically depends; and accepting such a concept is the intellectual equivalent of standing on the fortieth floor of a skyscraper while dynamiting the first thirty-nine.
