u found the densities to be .93g/cubic cm and .79g/cubic cm r these two examples of same liquids or not explain and in the table methyl alcohol has the density .93g/cubic cm

It is not clear exactly what the question is.

If the densities of the two liquids are different, all it means is that the liquids are different. They might both be mixtures of the same components in different ratios to give the differing densities. Or the one with density of .93g/cc might be pure methyl alchohol. You cannot identify them conclusively by density tests alone.

If the densities of two liquids are different then it may be because:

1. there are different compounds.
2. one is a pure compound and the other is the same but it is a mixture.
3. both are different mixtures of the same or other compounds.

I am sure that you can find a mixture of water and another liquid that will give you 0.93 g/cc without having a trace of methyl alcohol inside.

No, they are different. The one that matches the density of Methyl alcohol is likely to be that, if it is a possibility.

Given that this is a commonly demonstrated chemical reaction (not necessarily the "pinkish" color, and it goes the other way as well, i.e. two colored liquids produce a clear one), I fail to see why it would suggest there may be a god of some sort. We can easily explain chemical reactions without the need of a god.
