Hey, I just thought, the scriptures say that god is omnipresent or 'in all places at all times', yes? That god is 'all things', right? Conversely then, there MUST be nothing that god is not. This has such a delightful ring of "eliminate the impossible and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" it has to be worth exploring...
IF we could set out on an adventure, search the known universe, (I'll do my street, ok?) hunting high and low, no matter how long it takes to find anything, however microscopic, or massive; find something that is patently not god, that thing would place a boundary, or limitation on him, would it not?
Wouldn't the existence of that single item then, therefore, smash instantly the concept of god's omnipresence? Religions would no longer be able hail 'god' as 'ALL things'?
Come to think of it, would it not even cast serious doubt on the whole concept of omnipresence entirely?
A worthy prize I'm sure you'll agree! A single thing which god patently cannot be provides proof that the creator god is not omnipresent!
Priceless, surely?
I'll start us off with a think or two about 'things god cannot be' but please feel free to add more if you think of any...
1. Satan: Most religionists I reckon would agree with this one!
2. Mousetrap cheese: I can't see any religonist, no matter how fanatical, arguing that their god is Mousetrap cheese!
3. Me: Duh!
4. A Human woman: Whoa; don't go getting all bent out of shape fine people of the child bearing gender, we are merely trying to eliminate things here, 'women' takes out 50% of the human things that God cannot be and as god is obviously male, in Judeo-Christion words, deeds & depiction, at least, we do have reason to assume so.
Also can the features that have been ascribed to the god also be ascribed to a human female?
Are women omniscient? Maybe, sometimes it's like they have third eye or something and I know more than a few mothers who may edge into the omnipresent category but omnipotent is insupportable; they are not even all powerful on earth (no mysoginy just fact) and I've yet to meet a woman who doesn't do something to try and hold back aging process, so I think we can eliminate eternal!
5. A Human Man: Let's face it, Human males have absolutely no chance whatsoever of being god, so that eliminates the other 50% of humanity also.
So, obviously, that is bloody that then; any creator god is not omnipresent!
Bollox! Way Too easy!
I was up for being all 'Zak McKraken Ace Space Adventurer', travelling the universe in search of inscrutable truths but I didn't even get to leave my seat!
It's all too depressing.

I'm going for a walk to marvel at the earthly glory in the style of Charles Darwin.
