Could God create a rock that was too heavy for Him to lift??
Not sure that it's a science question.... but anyway interesting to think about

I thought we knew pretty well what energy was, kinetic, potential, sound, electrical etc... Also, I think chaotic1 is confusing the particle/wave duality of light photons with energy in the broader sense. This appears to be rather unscientific. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I still don't see how being a reductionist, and bringing everything down to the level of energy, and whether we can explain it or not, has anything to do with god (my lower case 'g').
I don't understand why my wife leaves all the lights on in the house - even in the rooms she's not sitting in (she's not omnipresent, you see). But I don't automatically think 'I don't understand, therefore = god'.
So why for something that, collectively, humans don't understand or can not explain, should we necessarily think 'there you go mate, that's that there god, that is, me ol' china' ?
I just don't see how they are at all linked.
Blimey, sounds some ABers on this thread have been smoking some whacky baccy. If you really need to answer this question here is some light reading for you....

Rather than a god being an "explanation" of the unknown I would rather say that it is a given label for some'thing' that somebody worships or shows religious devotion to, as of a deity. There is perhaps only one god, he just has different names to different people, although ancient believed in many gods at once. Maybe we should all start worshipping the sun and moon and stars. What's rocks got to do with it?
The answer to the question is 'No', because that God does not exist at all, not here, not there, not anywhere inside or outside of anything.
chaotic1's notion of God being whatever we don't understand is simply untenable: chaotic1; would you say tht this God that you perceive is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient and immutable? If not, then what?
TGi is the creator and ruler of everything in the cosmos from the infinitessimally small subatomic particle (and anything smaller that has existence, and every particle, wave or packet or any form of energy) up to the entity with the greatest mass, weight, energy, whatever and the entire cosmos itself.
The question is meaningless and the God of the bible cannot be explained because he does not exist.
