Subject: What do you give a man who *knows* everything? An unanswerable question
References: <>


I'm probably going to regret this. Louis has not once conceded one single point 
made by any of

us (caveat: that I know of). Only he has the right answer to *every* question. 
My personal

opinion is that a person who cannot learn from others cannot teach them but here
goes.


Louis, St. Anselm once stated *the* ontological argument as: "God is a being 
which no greater

than can be conceived". Now this was meant to point out the limits of the human 
understanding of

god. But how much does god understand? Can god conceive of a being greater than 
him/it/herself?
Merely have the thought?


In response to my position that energy cannot, without the ordering effect of 
matter (something

solid), hold information and hence I feel there are no *energy only*, spirit, 
ghost, etc.

beings, Louis recently and hurriedly wrote that matter was merely super dense 
energy. I'm sure

Louis expected this to be rebuttal to my position but Louis, wouldn't that be a 
solid and

support my claim anyway? Louis I say you hurriedly wrote this because in your 
effort to rebut

every single point made here by others, I don't think you well thought this one 
out. Do think
longer on the one above.

Cheers!

James
