Knowing what peoples' reactions to a terrible thread will be doesn't make that thread any less terrible, unfortunately. Especially when you don't understand simple things like the definition of 'moving the goal posts.' The goal posts were in the exact same spot, you just failed to actually engage with what was being said.

There are almost no people who try to answer every single question with God, and perhaps one or two people on all of PaRD who does. Your post is essentially one big straw man, trying to attack an assertion that no one has made. :(

Oh, is that what happened? I only read a handful of posts before I couldn't take any more of the illogic, tbh. :(

There was a reason I only made a few math problems and not an infinite number. There were 7 big questions they can represent the biggest questions we have, 7=A and its just an example (for the analogy) its god. He was moving the goal post making not only the simple analogy more about math than about choosing to find answers as opposed to just assuming because of dogma.

I'm out to eat, I don't have time right now for you pathetic kids and your witch hunt.

I'm out being too busy and cool to actually reply even though I just replied, but I'm so much better than "you pathetic kids", because I go out to eat.

Seriously? I expected at least a little better. :(

Anyway, you've already been answered. Just because the underlying cause that answers the questions may be God, that doesn't stop people from being curious and searching for answers. Obviously, or we'd never be where we are today, given that the vast majority of our scientific endeavors in the West were undertaken by Christians. Trying to understand God's creation and the rules behind it is no more or less interesting when you remove God from the equation.

I apologize for being rude, it was becoming apparent people were intentionally missing the point. I'm an American, I lived in the south I'm well aware of peoples willingness to accept a unified theory of life they will never test. Its my resentment towards forced ignorance, and sort of a call to action. I think its more respectful to at least make the effort of inquiry.

would make more sense if god was the set of all numbers real or imaginary

the way i see it, god is a vague answer that doesn't really provide any information
