Define God.

If we choose it to mean that it is any power which is both higher than humanity and sentient, then we must then ask about the nature of sentience and how we may prove its existence in others. Because self-consciousness is only observable in one's self, and can only be inferred in others, "God" is inherently unobserable. We could be standing right next to such a being and see only a natural object of immense power, and take all attempts at communication to us as just natural phenomena. The Sun could be a God, for example, and its various cycles and ejections could be communication, but we'd never consider it as such. To assume that "God", if it exists, would be comprehensible to its creations is the height of hubris. Humans are not comprehensible to dogs, nor any of our computers or constructs.

On the other hand, if you want to define God based on specific Holy Books, then you get wrapped into debates regarding inconsistencies of those Holy Books and misunderstand them as primary sources rather than secondary accounts of individual EXPERIENCES with 'God'. It's sort of like how Plato is a secondary account of Socrates. To doubt the existence of God, or Socrates, for that reason is suspect; but you are free to make that argument. Perhaps just as Socrates as Plato describes him never existed, so too might a 'God' as the Holy Books describe him not exist - but that once again brings up the impossibility of true knowledge about beings beyond yourself. You assume, infer, misunderstand, and fill in gaps.

I'd like to talk to you more about this, OP. Perhaps you'd be interested in subscribing to my Youtube channel.
