There's no reason to discuss the rest of your post if you can't even define what an atheist actually is.

Well that's all that's happening here. The theists are setting up a straw man... Of almost wicker man proportions. They then discuss it amongst themselves, shoot down their own created ideas of what an atheist is then claim a victory While totally ignoring what the atheist is actually saying.

Is it truly spiral? Only recently have we found out that the planets along with the sun are moving through space.

More recent sky surveys have shown now that we are most likely in a barred-spiral galaxy. One estimate is that the Sun has made approximately 23 orbits of the galaxy.

I think you've taken some liberties with the original. :)

Good to see you back. You have been absent? It's not my imagination?

Doing well, Dcon, and you? Got me some puter speakers at an auction and finally have sound. Spirals, huh? Man, I am still grooving on string theory. Getting slow in my old age.

As I understand it, super string theory reconciles gravity and quantum mechanics, but it also dictates that we have more dimensions than we're aware of, am I close with that statement?

Doing good and enjoying another day in the Missouri Woods.....I still go 90 to nothing when I am going, but I am kind of lazy today if you know what I mean...I have pondered string theory and it is somewhat interesting....as far as the galaxies go...seems like a lot of (space) to me hahahhah

Well, since our little atheist buddies seem to have wandered off, I'll posit this to you. When Christ was in Nazareth he ticked off some locals:
when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.............But he passing through the midst of them went his way
Click to expand...
Seems a bit odd that He could slip out of a manic crowd frothing at the mouth when He was in the middle of them. And He had the ability to seemingly walk thru walls:
then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst
Click to expand...
And lets not forget about the miraculous boat trip:
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid..............Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went
Click to expand...
Now I submit that there are many dimensions, and God being the omnipotent, has the ability to step out of one dimension into another. Sure would make it easy to move around now wouldn't it? It would explain some of the things that are a mystery to us. How does He do it? Beats me, but if it can be done, He can do it.

Whatever the explanation, God is behind it. Science will discover God if He tarries long enough.

I have no problem believing that at all....I have heard you can glean 10 dimensions from Genesis chapter 1 although I have not looked at it to see if that is possible.....God is light, dwells in light and is eternal...hit the speed of light and time stops= eternity.....I believe there is a lot to learn when it comes to God and his ability to masterfully create simple things (to him) that will blow our little pea pickin minds at the end of the day.

If you read the rest of my post, I address this issue. I explained that "a" theism means without theism, without a God. But I have met people claiming to be atheists, but believe in God. It is very strange. I try to explain it but trying to reason with an atheist is a very strange thing. They never believe they are wrong, even when they are obviously wrong.
