Is God a Person?

It's simply if you find one or two things of the same kind, you could expect to find more. You won't necessarily find more, but the existence of those things "could indicate" more such things exist.

Alternatively, finding true vision without physical sense organs could indicate that the design is itself a result of planning (that God did not evolve vision spontaneously, step by step, bottom-up, but simply made it such top-down, through will and imagination).

Its just not trivial to me how the proposition of "we can see without sense organs" being true would be more expected if God had a top-down rather than a bottom-up approach.

This goes back to issues I have around fine-tuning and how the more vague you phrase the hypothesis the less clear it is what can be even be considered as evidence that can support that hypothesis.

 

This is also why apriori approach is usually trash. We have 0 fucking clue what the probability landscape is. So we use random priors and what prior we start with always comes down to what abductive reasoning we use and that comes down to intellectual preferences so overall its just trash and I agree with Bernardo that we are just apes not having any fucking clue what we are doing.

I like how one person put it: God is just a religious or modern term early humans made in attempt to explain infinity.

What is one to think of religious and spiritual discourse which refers to god anthropomorphically?

My own understanding is that such terminology exists primarily within a theistic and devotional context, as opposed to esoteric accounts of what is beyond even God such as the Absolute, the Unconditioned and Nothingness.

You (God) are dreaming every person. So no 

People are finite , God is Infinite
