Who said anything about responsibility. Are you responsible for every cell or organ function of the body that produces you as consciousness? Why should it be any different for God's consciousness? I know . . . you are going to bring up the myriad BELIEFS ABOUT God that claim such things without any basis in science. BELIEFS do NOT establish REALITY . . . neither do NAMES.

No, not at all. God is outside the realm of science. Using logic to prove or disprove the existence of God is not possible.

You didn't answer my question.

"omnipotent" - all powerful, can do anything.
"omniscient" - knows all.
"omnibenevolent" - has all the goodwills.
I thought you were going with "omnivorous". Darn.

I don't think God really cares too much what humans do. Or what goes on here. It's like this is a big science experiment, and we're just the lab rats.

If you said "if there is a god, I don't think this god really cares too much...." at the start of that, I would totally agree with you..

I believe in God. My experiences have led me to that belief.

Fail insult.

No, because that is not testing.
