The differences between unity and nothingness are the characteristics of unity. The characteristics of unity are indentifiable in every state of unity. That is, the differences between unity and nothingness are the equivalences among the states of unity. The characteristics of unity are the criteria to compare the states of unity.

Every experimental desgin is to first discern the differences between unity and nothingness (blank/baseline/control)and then compare the states of unity are through the differences identified between unity and nothingness.

Einstein believed that everything in life can be rationalised and reasoned! He believed that life has a pattern in which it works... it only needs to be discovered!
He said as the human mind evolves scientifically, the mysteries will cease to exist! would you agree with him?

or do you think life can never be completely understood?
that there is a supernatural dimension to life that can never be logically rationalised?

Omnipotence (literally, "all power") is power with no limits or inexhaustible, in other words, unlimited power.

So, Can God vanish his ability of omnipotence/ turn himself to an ordinary human being? If yes, then how could he return back to his omnipotence form, since it required a omnipotent ability to be omnipotent?If no, then omnipotence has a limit.

I will use the Aristotle theory of Form that the soul is the characteristic of a being. Hence body and soul cannot be seperated.

Besides that i will also use the theory of bodily continuity to explain the physical part that he remain the same person as before. By using this two theories, i would say that the criminal is still the same person regardless losing his memory. How can we say that a person that keep the person on yesterday is not as the today person he is?

There is a weakness in my theory that how the soul work with the body. Can i explain that Aristotle said that soul has the four distinguish part that are reason, desire(appetite), aggression, and the purpose? Just like the knife have the soul, then the act of cutting would be the soul. Or can i counter with a question how the conciousness of us relate to our body? It is same for us that the link between them is unexplainabe and needed to be discover. Is this argument workable? Please be willing to pose any argument.

Hmm....What if God gave us all his abilities including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, and. But our personality/characteristic still exist, only our negatives intentions are erased.

This is a What if question, so i'm only asking hypothetically about this idea.

you know that there is a concept of death. and maybe you know people that have died. but can YOU yourself die? how can you be sure? you obviousely have not died yet because you are here. but since you have never died you can therefore say that you cannot truly know whether you can die. in fact you can even say that you are immortal and you cannot be disproved.

We see One sun being reflected in the waters of several pots as seperate sun each. God is also reflected in the consciousness of each individual whether they understand or not. Hence people believe as so many gods.

We see no two people are alike in their capabilities in this world. So much disparities are noticed in human life. We believe God as Just and impartial. How do you view this?

Thoughts are concepts converted into language. language is a construct of the brain as proved when people loose the ability to speak or understand language after a stroke, but can still reason. Animals can reason but have no spoken language. Therefore, telepathy involves picking up on concepts comming from another brain not words.
