Description

Let's stay on topic during the discussion. Although this is basically a religious question, scientific reasoning can also be used, and should be used at a certain level during the discussion.
I am open to any definition of God, as long as God is defined as an intervening force.
The definition I use is that God is a disembodied mind that does not exist in space and time and is omnipotent.
