Quote: I see nothing indicating that divinity is "the ability to love".

Maybe you should read it again.

1 a : of, relating to, or proceeding directly [FROM GOD] or a god ine [LOVE]
2 a : supremely good : superb b : heavenly, [GODLIKE] (VALUABLE)

"god" on guitar?

Does that make him emperor of the guitar? Now your going outside of your own definition.

1 a : of, relating to, or proceeding directly [FROM GOD] or a god ine [LOVE]


See, it's not God IN love. It's coming from God IN (the form of) love.

I did. From this link it gives a usage example: "divine love". My copy and paste didn't translate well and it resulted in ""god ine love".

This does not indicate that divinity is the ability to love.

Now we're getting into the definition of the word IN.

That is an example of how "god" can be used to describe men, as you have asserted. Does that make him an "emperor"? Of course not, nor does it transmutate him into anything other than a man with a guitar.

No, we're dealing with a faulty copy and paste job on my part.

Read the definition here:

Well that's a funny copy and paster.

from God OR a god

But we're off topic. I was just saying I know that I am divine because I have the ability to feel love from what I believe is God (the force). But those are my beliefs. We're talking about the existence of MAN (God).

Yes but that man with the guitar has supreme value to all his fans doesn't he? He is there STAR (SUN / GOD).

Looks like my copy and paste doesn't work either!

Scuse my poor grammar... I meant "their" and "you're." I'm not usually this bad.

Must be God tryin to help out.

Nice drums btw. Do you want to become a STAR?

Ahh yes. Your subjective experience leads to your beliefs. That's fine.

Now, can you prove those beliefs with objective evidence?

How about a ROCK STAR? ROCK SOLID. Peter was a rock, the rock of the church. You have dreams of becoming a Star (God), metaphorically speaking yourself right? What do people call Trent Reznor? God.

Ancient alien hypothesis is not backed by any substantial evidence: mostly just faulty interpretation of a handful of artifacts.

Homo sapiens sapiens' DNA is traceable back through the lineage of a series of transitional hominids and shows no evidence of "alien tampering" whatsoever. Homo sapiens sapiens also did not just "magically appear".

No offense, but it would benefit you greatly to acquire even a rudimentary level of scientific literacy. Maybe there is something to your hypotheses but you should at least rule out that they cannot be so easily refuted before taking a stand on them.

Not true. Science is still searching for the "missing link". Our fossil records show huge "gaps" in evolution.

What do they call the Pope? THE HOLY FATHER. That means GOD. There are many concepts of God that clearly are rock solid and truly must exist. You are taking a definition of God that quite simply is ridiculous as proof of something... Evidence of something... But what? That God doesn't exist? Of course he does!

Thank you.

You bet all-seeing eye want to be a star

Correct, the missing link has never been solved, but the point I let go because I didn't want to argue about it because it was irrelevant, but I appreciate your input! I just didn't want to have this long debate about it and get straight to the point.

There still are "missing links" throughout many branches of evolutionary history. This does not negate the fact that we have tons of transitional fossils indicating a long lineage of variant hominids.
