You could have just said your god is a makhijabalinloshnugjadonghhhyip...I'd be just as enlightened now as I was before!!!
To put it another way your response here doesn't answer my problem 🙂

THAT is not intelligent design. your god is a mean kid with a magnifying glass.

I think about that a lot, you have a point?

I say your god can not be 'timeless', more if it exists then it exists within its own timeline (perhaps disinct from ours)

I am a Christian, and I have an open mind, so I will listen to an atheist; your comment regarding 'creationists' not listining to an 'evolutionist' is bunk because I am engaging you in conversation. I believe the Bible, but I am not stupid enough to think evolution in some form or other is not taking place as I write, and has been for eons. Man is intelligent, but man is also stupid! ALL the world's current problems are caused by man. God designed the universe from pure intelligence. Do you really believe that earth could be so close to perfect because of random chance?

thing all together. Staying true to a time line within the bounds of
a universe is just restraint, nothing more.

Originally posted by KellyJayIt seems you merely object, since I imply there are things for which your god is bound to. Do you object to my stating that your god is bound to be a god sometimes?...is this restraint upon your god uncomfortable?

Again if you strictly believe that your god is 'timeless' then every thing it must do, every thing it must decide, everything it must see, and so on, cannot happen at more than one instance for otherwise the period of separation between any two events whatever you wish to call it can be reduced to some notion of 'time'...this would then contradict 'timeless'...and so you then restrain your god's existence to a singularity from its perspective.

in response to the original message:
you're question deserves the answer "you are stupid"
heres how he does it. The secret to his success: he created logic. He placed you inside of it. Time works with logic. He sits outside of logic. He is like a man, looking at a painting that IS logic. He can walk away from logic/time. By asking a question taht limits him to time, you are showing the deserving of teh answer "you are stupid."
how bout you ask a question of logic to people who it conscerns? or an illogical question to him? cuz seriously that question doesn't make any sense.

Here you have attempted to make a logical argument, viz:
(1) God created logic;
(2) time is part of [“works with”] that logic;
(3) God is not bound by [“sits outside of”] the logic that he created;
(4) Therefore, God is not bound by [“can walk away from”] logic/time.
But, in making that argument, you defeat yourself. For, if God is not bound by logic, then God is not bound by that very logical argument that you have attempted to make.
One could as well say:
(1) God is not bound by logic;
(2) Therefore, God is bound by logic.
If logic does not hold for God, then there is nothing wrong with such a statement. It is certainly (even absurdly) illogical—but then, you claim that God is not bound by logic. In fact, if God is not bound by logic, then God can both exist and not exist at the same time. So, is there a god or isn’t there?
Why, oh why do some theists insist on such an illogical god?

Originally posted by PinkFloydomnipotent implies there is nothing he cannot do. so if i find something he cannot do, he is not omnipotent correct?
How do YOU know?
like it was said in another thread, can god create an immovable object AND an unstoppable force?
some say god is good and everything he does is good, he has a plan. can god be evil then?
can god destroy himself?
therefore he is not omnipotent, just very very powerful.
