I checked myself and made some corrections to spelling and use of terms, thank you. (I'm so glad this is still my incubation period.) The point stands:
Earth estimated population: 6,200,000,000/1 = 6,200,000,000.
God is the one, we are the others and back to the one. One is the operative number and need not be manipulated further. This shows how small one can be "divvied up", as in our case.
I'll use any means necessary to cause you to correct the illusion of separateness before it hits us like wall of water.
Love to all.

The point is that we are one! One! One! No matter how you look at it. I am trying to use math to show the obvious.

I'm sorry, this is flawed math. I do believe we are all one, but this will not pass scrutiny or convince those that do not think as we do.

So, what . . . God is a denominator? Maybe that's why religions have so many denominations. lol. Your point is half-baked.
If you believe in God, questions about the nature of God must enter your mind at some point. Is he corporeal? Who or what could possibly have created God? Can God simply have always existed, without a beginning?
The way I see it, neither God nor the physical universe could possibly materialize out of nothing. Conceding the possibility of God means one of three things:
1. God has always existed and is the creator of the universe
2. The physical universe has always existed but God is imaginary
3. Both God and the physical universe has always existed
As difficult as it is to imagine an eternal ANYTHING, imagining two of them is more difficult. We know and can prove the physical universe exists . . . but we don't know nor can we prove that God exists. Options 1 and 3 are more complex than option 2 because we would need to explain God as well as the physical universe -- we would have two mysteries instead of one. Injecting God into the question unnecessarily complicates it: particularly when there's no evidence for him in the first place. None of this explains where ANYTHING came from; that question is not answerable (yet).
There are no (absolute) proofs for, or against, the existence of God.
Proof is a tricky word. Many people think that proof establishes something is an absolute fact. That's not often the case; at least, not in the everyday world.
In jurisprudence and science, a reasonable basis for proof is based on solid evidence and the absence of any known contradiction. There's a "reasonable person" standard which defines proof as "beyond a reasonable doubt". The test of time fortifies proofs.
You say there are no unicorns? Prove it. You see? ABSOLUTE proof is an illusion -- especially when trying to prove a negative, such as "There is no God". It was once believed that all swans are white – nobody had ever claimed to see a swan that wasn’t white. The assertion that “There are no non-white swans” was believed to be true until black swans were discovered in Australia.
However, rephrasing the assertion from "There is no God", to "God is imaginary", makes proof easier, using the "reasonable person" standard. We can't ABSOLUTELY prove it but we can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
Consider this . . .
No matter where man has spread, he as created countless gods. From aboriginal Australians to tribal Africans to American Indians to ancient Egyptians . . . they've all created gods prolifically and with ease. That man creates gods is a well-known, indisputable fact.
But what about the opposite? God creating man? We DON'T know that he did. We have no evidence that he did. We have no reason to think that he did. All the evidence points to evolution over the course of billions of years. There's growing evidence that life originated from abiogenesis -- from an electro-chemical reaction in the primordial soup of early Earth.
So, with countless thousands of gods to man's credit, believers are in the untenable position of asserting that all the gods that came before and after theirs are false . . . but their own god (and religion) is real and true. Asserting that one's own god is real, when we know that man created all the others, is ridiculous. It is so unlikely that we can safely consider it delusional.
Man has created countless thousands of gods and YOURS (if you believe) has NO evidence. That, my friend, qualifies God’s existence as dubious, at best, and faith in him as misguided and misplaced. Based upon the preponderance of evidence, the assertion that "God is imaginary" meets the reasonable person standard for proof and has withstood the test of time for thousands of years.

I can't say that I understand or agree with your logic, but I agree with your idea. On a spiritual level all is one. Separateness is not only an illusion but is also the reason we are here. This whole Universe was created so that the one cosmic consciousness could experience separateness, and explore the idea of the individual.

Hayden hit the nail on the head....wake up people!!! We are all ONE....we are all interconnected. Call the ONE what you wish: God, Love, Life, the Universe, the Source, Energy....whatever. The fact remains we are all made of the same stuff, we just vibrate at different levels (this is proven through quantum physics). Even a rock vibrates....we just can't see it. This is how energy is turned in to matter. Energy turns into matter through vibration. However, we are given the gift of Self-AWARENESS.....let's use it!!!!
We are all ONE.....yes!
Tell 'em Starte! ;)

Yes, we are one. Literally the person looking back at you from across the room is you. Unfortunately, people love the illusion of separation because they think it gives them safety, another illusion. There will never be enough evidence to prove to those that are just too frightened to see. Every empath will tell you that they do not reach out across space to feel you, they reach within to feel the part of them that is you.

Why does god have to be the '1'? Why can't the universe, nature, the earth, the cosmos, whatever (that is bigger than us all) be the '1'?

Maybe you people should listen to what starte is saying, as even quantum mechanics describes that we are all connected vibrating with each other at certain frequencies on sub-atomic levels, SO WAKE UP HUMANS

Although a tad bit distorted, you and I are somewhat on the same page here.
ANY preaching that needs to be done, needs to be done to US as a whole. Stupidity is colorblind. Shallowness is colorblind. Superiority complexes are colorblind. The most important issue that ISN'T colorblind...is ignorance. Educate yourselves, people. We're not rich & poor, not black & white, not better or worse.....we're human, and we need to start taking better care of our race...the human race.

You are getting close but even if we are one why is it god has to be that one? Could it not for example be some smart alien controlling us?

As long as you put faith in a god you and I will never be one.
