Well, as I've mentioned before, it all is wrapped up in your definition of the word 'god'. My point was that you were projecting human traits into your definition.

>Because I'm suggesting that if there was a god it would be intelligent? I hardly see that as anthropomorphising. Unless you're about ready to claim that intelligence is a human only characteristic.

Well, a great question. Schaeffer deal rather well with this whole iswue actually and, again, I'd suggest you read a few of his works. As long as you reserve the right to define what constitutes the definition for the word 'god' you are in so many words elevating yourself to that position. That's different from the position that God has revealed Himself to mankind, which is what the Historic Christian position asserts.
