But the Fair link didn't address the point. The Fair link concerns itself with Bible references -- newsflash, the Bible is false, who cares if it says God is a spirit? I don't -- and also with mundane problems like moving through walls.MG wrote:I don’t see a contradiction at all. Can you conceive of a God as described here:

If not, then He is beyond your understanding if He is indeed a corporal God who can exist in and outside of space and time
Matter is contingent upon the Big Bang. God is made of matter. God can't both be made of "flesh and bone" and be outside space and time to cause the Big Bang that creates the matter, planets, fauna, and everything leading up to flesh and bone for man to be created.
Granted, that's a physical contradiction, not a logical contradiction, but the post you responded to was made by physicsguy, not philosophyguy.
It's not a logical contradiction for God to be made of flesh and bone and be outside of the universe to create it and thus, all the matter that he himself happens to be made of instantiates in this bubble-verse, verses the myriad of other universes that have totally different rules. However, it's also not a logical contradiction that a pig lives outside the universe and took a giant crap which created everything we experience in this world including Mormonism.
Ultimately, MG, you are a Big Tent thinker. You believe that lots of crazy stuff is all compatible and other people can't comprehend your level intellectual achievement -- we are all fundamentalists who can't comprehend the big tent. But you aren't a Big Tent thinker because you really believe in a Big Tent. You believe in a Big Tent because it allows for your extraordinarily narrow and ignorant micro beliefs to be valid along with a whole other load of horse crap.
It's kind of like how UFO conferences have evolved into platforms that allow for every other kind of other pseudoscience to have its say. Stupid person A only cares about A beliefs, but realizes that he's behind the 8 ball and his chances are better to promote A beliefs if he lends an ear to stupid person B, who only cares about B beliefs. Together with C, D, and E, they build the kind of big tent you're okay with.
