Heck we even invented God : )

As that statement stands, it is merely a totally unsupported (pre)supposition. What "we" ever "invented" God? Let's see your data!

And it seems to me not everything that we can imagine becomes "possible" simply because we can imagine it. Do unicorns really exist? If they do, it seems they exist in a sense that is not physically realizable. Just like most "second realities." They can be "imagined": But if they don't "map to Reality," they cannot exist as real entities.

Substitute God for Unicorns and we are in complete agreement : )

Ahh you caught me out. I didn't invent God, some schmuck did thousands of years ago. He learned that if he appealed to a higher authority he could get more power and control. And the rest as 'we' say is history : )
