That may relate to logic, which is math, and since the uppermost is known, be inherited through the humans, then yes. But it has nothing to do with humans. If it has, that's a satanic religion, which is not a religion, but a movement.

You are confusing thoughts, with theories about thoughts, and then assuming that your theories about thoughts are automatically 'true' because of 'just so' assertions. 'Psyche' was the wife of Cupid' in Apulius's 'Golden Donkey' which is often included within the Greco-Roman beliefs, but 'Psyche' has also been translated as meaning 'soul'. Do 'souls' exist? Can these theoretical entities be studied? If I did not have a 'soul', could I still have 'theories'? Could I still have have thoughts or ideas? Could I be possessed by 'spirits' or 'memes' or false ideas? If I pinched myself in a dream and imagined that I felt pain, would that really prove anything? A lot of belief systems play semantic games with the word 'god', however some play with the word 'soul'. If I were simply imagined by a deity, or imagined by by some computer program some where, such a simulation could imagine that I have a 'soul'. But wait. you are now playing that semantic game and pretending it is not a 'belief' system, and asserting it is 'true' without evidence. Do you really think? Do you really exist? That can depend on the meaning of the words 'think' and 'existence'. It is more than possible that I do not either think or exist. It is more than possible that you neither think or exist.

Yes but you do play semantic word games to bolster your own belief systems. This could mean that you do not care about what it 'true' or 'science', potentially by even whatever definitions you might hold for such words. > Tom Roberts

Reasonably, things can mutate into their opposites through context when you change levels of abstraction. When it comes to 'relativity' (sci.physics.relativity) or if say, the speed of light were different with respect to the frequency of light, then RADAR would work differently under different scenarios where light worked differently. As for quantum mechanics? I tend to get the idea that confusion of the terms point - particle - curve - wave among shifts between mathematics and physics cause fundamental defects in reasoning, and not just unclear terminology. >> >>> Tom Roberts

I think God is an abstract emerging idea spread and contaminating people for superstitious and propitiatory reasons.

Columbian Gold???? God is contained in everybodies DNA...even atheist's dna. In other words, it's included in the manual when you were born. Check your manual. (if you don't have the manual, download it.) if you cannot find it, check ebay... Look up the index, and where it sez GOD, it should show page number and reads: Included with DNA.
