Thank you both for your outstanding insights!

The Jewish mystics use the name Ayn Sof when speaking of God the Creator. Literally it means "no thing." And the point is that any word a person would use to describe God reduces his own concept of God to the word that he used.

Logic for instance is part of the creation, not a property of the Creator.

Thanks for the enlightenment about the Jewish mystics. That, I suppose, is why we occasionally see G_d in these discussions.
