God

Overview

Although there are many variations between religions (and even between different branches of the same religion) on the nature of God, it is generally agreed that God is a supernatural entity who created the universe.

Details which may vary from belief to belief include:

• God's mortality (is God still around?)
• God's omniscience (does God know everything, or are God's perceptions limited?)
• God's omnipresence (is God everywhere at once, or does God have a specific location?)
• God's omnipotence (can God do anything? If he can do "anything" can he violate the laws of logic as well as physics, e.g. "Can God make a stone so heavy that he can't lift it, and then lift it?")
• God's gender (is God a He, She, or It?)
• The nature of God's historical interaction with humans (which of the stories about God are true, which are true-in-spirit as parables, and which are myths or distortions? Does God have a personality, and if so what is it like?)
• The nature of God's current interaction with humans (is God "still speaking", as some churches believe? Can individuals talk directly to God?)
  • The importance of humans from God's perspective (Does he care about humanity? If so, does he care about us as individuals, or just as a species?)

The existence of God is an unfalsifiable claim.
