Actually, Andrew, the statement "nothing is greater than God" is what is known as an ambiguous statement. Linguistically it can be interpreted two ways. It can either be interpreted as saying that "Nothing" is an entity and that entity is greater than God. Or it can be interpreted as saying that "no thing" is greater than God. I know you are trying to sound smart, but in reality if someone thought you were serious they would assume you are an idiot for not being able to interpret an ambiguous statement in context. Nice try though, i commend you for thinking laterally.


So you want a sign from God?

Does God exist?

Is Creation a myth?

What is a 'good' person?
