God also does not have gender. God is an "it."
Coming to these conclusions has liberated me quite a bit. Life loses much of its complexity after eliminating the confusion and division and hierarchy created by organized religion.

Gender is specialization. That's really all it is. And consciousness is basically electrons in the brain. It too does not exist.
What makes up quarks? Imaginary particles. They don't exist. They are just how we view what cannot be viewed by photon. So we make it up.
"observation" is a new age mumbo jumbo. More accurately, when we try to shoot a photon to look at it, the photon knocks the thing we are trying to look at, so we cannot view it in a non-interference method. IE, we need to develop something that can hit the thing without changing its behavior, than convert that data to a photon to be able to see it. It does not mean consciousness affects it. Unless, of course, an electron from our brain hits it. lol.

Because any common sense would teach you that it would be easier simply to run a program to look up things rather than breed intelligence to do it for you.
It's the same reason we don't make robots as smart as us. That would be dumb.

God has always had a Religion.
Obedience was the first rule.
Adam and Eve broke that rule.
Then lots of other rules to bring the people into obedience.
The jewish religion is the oldest on earth.
From the Jewish religion came Jesus who begot the Catholic/Christian religion.
Jesus was a factual person.
He fulfilled several hundred prphesies from the Old Testament.
He created a religion which everyone could attend.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

I take it by your exercise in absurdity that you are infering that because be extremely absurd things all possible variations or concepts associated with it must be false. How illogical if you are.
I also agree with it.. And also, creation didn't just happen once in the beginning, creation is still happening now.

I like your definition. It feels right.
