Fairy 'nuff. At least you admit that it's speculation.

What does god do?


Whatever he wants to. And to you. And whenever he wants to.

Got any objective examples of what he did - let's say yesterday?

Sure. But none you would accept as objective. You are not looking anyway. You are not looking for God. Why not admit it, drop the subject and move on?

True, but the logic that god is not god yet because god is becoming god applies to other things. We are all becoming ourselves, as our identity changes over time, so we are ourselves and we are simultaneously becoming ourselves.

There is a simpler answer.

Yes, there are simpler answers. We could simply assume that the Bible is 100% literally true in every word. That would be simpler.

Good thing we understand that an answer is not more correct just because it is simpler.

But, in all probability more probably correct if it fits the known facts.

Not really. Occam's razor does not describe physical reality. There is no logical reason for the universe to strive towards simplicity.

So what is the physical reality that fits the known facts?

That question does not make sense.

There is only one physical reality, and it must fit the known facts because the known facts are part of that physical reality.
