Since knowledge is the following...
WORDS>
And words are>
Verbal symbols created from atomic combustion of larynx vibration...
Then in reality if I were to define anything it would just be a word, or a pattern of sound waves, postioned in a certain way.
For example, the object Ball Point Pen, can also be
BOLIGRAFO in spanish.
There is no direct knowledge of the object other then comparsion.
"A" could = Feet,
and now I stand on my A all day.
Therefore the origin of all knowledge, is not of words, but of comparing matter.
Point being, is that the word God, has no obtainable knowledge out of the Bible.
Meaning Gdd is only the Bible.
There is no way to make knowledge of a being that can not be experienced in this world. And anything happening with in the world (universe) is not God, for the knowledge of God would have to differ fromt he knowledge of the world.
Anything happening with in the world would not be of God, but of the world.
Any logic in my theory?

There is no point in believing in something that can not be acknowledge.
I believe my car has an engine, only because I have seen it work before.
If it never had an engine, then why would I believe it worked?
Conclusion, I must be insane.

ALSO SHEV,
Your right the God conception does not come from the Bible alone, but from the observence of the UNI-verse.

"FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN."
"Faith in my theory of knowledge is a word which describes the outlook of a person who is uncertain about a possiblite. Possiblite alone being uncertain, two uncertainties in one packag= two negetives.
Its like saying a can of soda, could be soda??? BUT I DON"T KNOW FOR CERTAIN IF SODA IS SODA< OR SODA EVEN EXISTS!!

Your theory assumes a god that is separate from creation.
That would be impossible.
Love and blessings Don

No, there is no logic there. No real logic, that is. God is not only in the Bible. Many cultures believe in some variation of God that had never experienced the Bible before the white man brought it to them and shoved it down their throats.
I'm curious about something you said. Just what is an "atomic combustion of larynx vibration"? Are you saying every time we speak we create a nuclear detonation?

Lol. Taoism (older than Christianity) has already incorperated these thoughts into their religion. They believe in something we cannot explain, comprehend, or understand, because it is outside of our experience. Also God doesn't just exist in the Bible :P MANY MANY other religions believe in diety(s).
No this doesn't mean God can't exist. It just means that our concepts of him are probably wrong.
You speak as if God must exist OUTSIDE of the Universe. Perhaps YOU are using false conepts now. How do you know he isn't part or IS the universe? Making some (or maybe all) of what we expierence, God. As you said, knowledge is verbal symbols, meaning language. Language is based on opposites inorder to distiquish itself. So if God IS the Universe, or constantly a part of life, than we wouldn't know it because we never known being WITHOUT God. Kid of like a blind man (all of his life) trying to think of the colour blue. He can't, because he's never experienced it.
Lol. You speak as if YOU only believe in what YOU personaly experience, as in the engine example. I HIGHLY doubt it. You've never seen DNA I bet, but you probably believe it. Same goes for Pluto, other galaxies, black holes, heliocentric, the pyramids, nuclear explosions :P

I think your argument that God is known in comparison to the world, and since we know nothing beyond the world we cannot know God presumes something that religion is not based on. Traditional beliefs DO contrast God with something else to create comparison, but that comparison is not the world, but evil.
What is evil and how is that defined? Well, a lot of philosophers would define evil as the old good, and good as the new evil. Surely you can appreciate that answer. Human nature and its lust for sex and destruction (Freuds words- not Ozzy Osborns) is considered evil, and repression of those natural desires are considered good. God becomes the intellectual rational desire for civilization in us, and Satan becomes the driving natural desires of sex and destruction. Whether we know God because we naturally want better lives or whether we want better lives because we know God is the question. But to answer your question, the comparison with God is very natural and simple in all of us because of the natural duality that we live with.

Sorry, you are so far off base it is difficult to believe you would be able to understand a simplistic answer, but here goes:
Faith is knowing that something is, merely because you believe it is. God does not need to be proven, God is God. It is as simple, and as complex as that. Life is a mystery and that is where Faith comes to play.
Yesterday is history
tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a Gift. That is why it is called The Present.
Go with that and untwist your brain .... live, love and enjoy as much as you can while you are here. And, perhaps, try to help someone less fortunate along the way. ...

the massive bang concept in basic terms could be an fantastic indicator that the abrahamic faiths are based oftentimes on allegories. all of us comprehend as an occasion already that issues like Noah and the ark have been plagarisms of the plenty older Epic of Gilgamesh. all of us comprehend already that the ten plagues and bondage in egypt and the exodous have no historic foundation in reality--all of us comprehend that the moses character grow to be maximum probable lifted from the plenty plenty older King Sargon fantasy. all of us comprehend as an occasion that the gods coming up guy from the clay of the earth interior the babylonian advent fantasy which predates genesis via 1000 years is probable the place the hebrews plagarized the genesis tale from. with each and every of the attainable suggestions it in simple terms says that if there's a god--this is not any longer particularly what the abrahamics declare that's.

No not really any logic, because you are applying one line of theory about present reality to a possibility in ultimate reality. Moreover you can never prove the non-existence of something (outside of temporal constraints.) Personally I do not believe in god but I also recognize that it is impossible to prove God as a mythical entity only.

To paraphrase Kierkegaard:
God is faith and has nothing to do with belief or proof. one knows that God exists does not know (Either OR) is one of his more well known works.
Proof is irrelevant for God and for those that believe. Kierkegaard also wrote on the impossibility of God, which made Him all the greater (Kierkegaard was a Christian, who rejected the Church, complicated character but well worth reading).

No. Your argument does not necessitate the metaphysical impossibility of God.
People have been playing word games on this issue forever!
How can a theory of knowledge prove the inexistence of something??? That's not it's job.

What is Faith? Logic and proof.....Uh I don't think there are many atheists that at the approach of their imminent death don't pray to God.....just in case......I wouldn't be so smart I ruled out something you perhaps have no comprehension of because it is beyond your capacity to believe that which can not be seen, or proved by your means. Ponder the realms of possibility and you may be very wrong.
