Lets just compare ourselves to one of the most intelligent creatures we know, chimpanzee. I would imagine the gap btw the creator and created would be much greater than the gap btw two created creatures. if a chimpanzee told us internet doesn't exist would it not exist?

AtheistDee, i think you are confusing satan with god.

so if there really were God, according to most of you it would be impossible for us to figure him out on our own. you would agree then the only way would be if He reveals himself.

which also will have to be pretty limited as our understanding is limited and not His.

good point Yeow Teng K. i was more focused on "human frailties". Nevertheless without evil those frailties would not exist.

A virus could understand the theory relativity easier then man understanding God.

Well, the monkey god is pretty intelligent, it can turn the whole heaven upside down ....... the god of diseases, however, isn't too bright.
I hasn't pit my intelligence with these gods yet, so I do not know. Maybe I am more intelligent then the monkey god or maybe I am more stupid then the god of diseases. Who knows.
By the way, if you have a chimpanzee that could tell you internet does not exist, it is either you can speak chimpazian or you have one intelligent chimpanzee which can speak human language.

Oh, AtheistDee isn't too far off ...... Read your bible NYBHC ..... Your bible god is Jealous, revengeful and filled with anger. You must has confused this bible god with another god down the next turn.
Read these quotes
"You must not worship or serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I punish the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me"
"Therefore, the sovereign Lord who commands armies, the powerful ruler of Israel, says this: “Ah, I will seek vengeance against my adversaries, I will take revenge against my enemies. "
"But while the meat was still between their teeth, before they chewed it, the anger of the Lord burned against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague. "
-----------
If there is really a god, then he is not doing his job very well. If showing his face is such a difficult thing to do and humans has to hypnotize themselves first into believing he is real before he can show his face (in another word, the person is having hallucination), then his god is worthless, isn't it?

We'd be an Ameoba!
It's taken us thousands of years to master a few simple tricks God did. Like a controlled environmental biosphere (Eden) or restoring life with the touch of hands (CPR, crude as it is).
We have YET to master the physics of walking on water.
We have YET to create life with gasses and microbial organic soil.
Now, according to relativity, as our minds grow exponentially so must God's mind.
There is no playing catch up.
You saying God is in STeady State and we are expanding.
God (and Jesus) said we can be as Gods or DO AS THEY DO, except for the FINITE aspect (we eventually die).
Do you know how smart you'd be if you were 10,000 years old!
You still wouldn't be as smart as God, however.

If God existed, the gap between Him and humans would be greater than the gap between Einstein and bacteria. That's why I find it laughable that theists attribute human frailties like jealousy, anger, and revenge to God.

I'd say there'd be nearly an infinite difference...which makes me question other's claims of "what god wants."
If a chimp told us that there were no square circles, should he change his mind when he found out humans were really smart?

oooooooo, you're just gonna have to go ahead and change your characters there a little bit, buddy. Dolphin is now known as the most intelligent, next to man. Sorry bout that, chimpy.

Ok, but first of all, there ain't no God(s) are there.
Lets just get that one answered first before we try to figure out if these nonexistent God(s) are Retards or Savants.

Well yeah, I mean, if there was a God he'd have to be pretty damn intelligent, right? What's this question have to do with anything?

The difference would be like comparing the circumference of the earth to that of the universe.

Yes, people always imagine God to be smarter than the smartest man. That way they can say "well, I ain't no Einstein but my god is smarter than you".
