    Thank you for teaching me a new word. "Monosemous" means having or exhibiting only one meaning, or being unambiguous. It's the opposite of "polysemous," which refers to having multiple meanings.

    My same answer applies again. PaulThomson said: You are displaying an appalling lack of critical thinking and logic.

    I have not mentioned ignorance in regard to God anywhere on this forum. You are straw-manning and well-poisoning, because you can't reason logically to make your own case persuasively. I have given examples that contradict your definition, Explain to us why, your definition of omniscience...
