Ah, basic Christian theology helps here. [I'm agnostic at
present but well versed thanks to past affiliations]: "God is
love" as a concept didn't begin in its current form until the
concept of the Trinity also emerged. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Three quarks. Gravity traits of few-bodied systems. That trinity
ring thing. The Efimov State
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efimov_state - you get the idea.
Anyway, in that rendering, until a single choice was made, there
was no center, just perfect harmony and all that stuff. [ps -
the graphic for the Efimov state is from me - I was pretty proud
of that graphic - Wikipedia liked it so it stays - and its'
animated too tongue emoticon ] Anyway, that's the basic
conceptualization of a Truine God concept. Eastern Orthodox
Christian conceptualizations of God doesn't have a "he" - but
rather a "beyond gender" status,and our words attempting to
explain the inexplicable are necessarily incomplete and mapped
to humanly comprehensible terms. 2000 years of theology; they've
thought of all these things. I was only involved for 5 years but
learned a lot. It's analogies. Some say "Nothing". Some say
"Randomness". Some say "God". Some say "Uncertainty". Some
conceptualization of a God are personal, some impersonal, some
knowing, some unknowning, some permiating all of existance, some
like a mad scientist playing with a toy [most anti-religion
conceptualizations of God see God that way]... and so, in the
end, it all depends. But to me, they're all analogous forms.
Pick the word that suits. It's just a word. Kenneth Udut Michael

Agreed. I can happily analogize everything I say to a baby.
There's a baby being conceived (thoughts are "concepts" -
Conceived - 18th century bad science) in my head and it's
shitting out my words because I'm full of shit and I've got piss
for brains. I'm ok with that. tongue emoticon
