The human knowledge acquisition mechanism consists of the five senses (input devices) through which information comes in, and the mind that processes the information. Since God is not accessible to any of our five senses, no verifiable information can be known about God.

Where facts are not available, we have to proceed with beliefs.
A belief is like a theory: we use it as a stepping stone in our search for truth, and we always give up one for a better one. Theology is really not the study of God because God cannot be studied. It is merely the study of the human beliefs about God. It evaluates our theories of God, compares with one another, and finds out if they are relevant in human life.

What we believe about God is the foundation on which we build up our life. As individuals and as community, a better belief about God leads to a better and more meaningful life.

Just as I thought. People don't know the difference between "define" and "describe"

Here's what M-W online says:

1 capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality: as a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe b Christian Science : the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit : infinite Mind
2 : a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
3 : a person or thing of supreme value
4 : a powerful ruler

Dear Knowledge seeker, God is the creator, upholder and the sustainer of the universe and all life therein. He revealed himself in the BIble to Moses and he is the begginign and the end. Most importantly God is the Just Judge of all the universe. How will you do when you face this Holy Judge?

Have you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and the BIble says "he who hates his brother is a murderer.", have you ever hated someone? Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and the BIBle says the penalty for your sins is death and Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven.
He sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death.
Your own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, And If you will repent (turn from sin) and place your faith and trust in Jesus, God will forgive you and reveal himself to you and you will know eternal life dwells within you and death has lost its sting.
God Bless

God is Love.

Think about the implications of that for a while.

God is undefinable and unexplainable and untrue.
