1. We do not know how many dimensions there are, but we could argue all day as to rather or not God is in or outside of any of them.
2. We agree that a concept of God is not what most people assume. However it is beyond human understanding.
3. "God" and "god" are two separate words. The word god means "one with dominion", God as a title means "ruler of rulers".
4. I do not understand what you mean. The human body was a well designed machine before the copy of a copy error set in.

I suspect if you read the Nag Hammadi collection you will see that that is pretty much what Christ taught. Not the pun-together version of events the so-called 'holy fathers' wanted to teach - two different worlds sadly.
The Nag Hammadi Library needs to usurp any Christian philosophy/weird pragmatism.

adjensen Why? We know that the texts of the Nag Hammadi Library post-date the books of the Bible by at least a hundred years, and we know where Gnostic Christianity originated from -- Valentinus, around the year 150AD, who was passed over for the office of Bishop of Rome (the Pope,) and, as a result, broke from the church to invent his own religion that had to do with Christianity, apart from the central character. Gnostic Christianity was the Scientology of the Second Century.

Um, no, you're getting things confused.
Nag Hammadi are Gnostic Christian texts from the Second through Fourth Century.
You are referring to the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are Jewish texts, not Christian. It is believed that some of them are contemporary to the time of Christ, others are older. No, Jesus was not an Essene. John the Baptist might have been, but Christ was not -- Essenes were "hyper-Jews", ascetics that showed a slavish devotion to the Law that Jesus clearly did not.
The Essenes were not "hyper-jews" at all, who said that?

Only needs two.
1. He didn't exist.
2. There are no gods.
