But the common saying is that God is love, so the distinction seems odd. God's love is God itself, then, so we must deduce that atomic matter is in fact God. Atomic matters being almost everything we encounter in our lives, the inescapable conclusion is that Ray Comfort is trying to convert us to an odd variation on the theme of pantheism, where God is not everything but close enough for most purposes.

So, Einstein's God, then? :P

Of course, it all makes sense! If the sun is made of concentrated God love, then clearly that must mean that God's love manifests as hydrogen, which is indeed heavily concentrated in stars and that's what allows nuclear fusion to take place. But the sun also has non-negligible amounts of helium, which is what hydrogen turns into after fusion, so that must mean that God's love is also helium. Which makes sense, hydrogen is just a proton, an electron, maybe one or two neutrons, the same component parts of helium. If all these are God's love, we can extend the principle to show that everything composed of atoms is God's love.

Fun fact: this version is scienced-down a fair bit from the first one I wrote. The original brought up mathematical induction, the iron peak and nucleosynthesis.

Well they do say that humans have been made in God's image. Maybe this simply refers to the fact that all living things have been made from the atom's that -as Sigmaleph explained- are God's manifestation.

And that why God is omnipresent.

Also, does this mean that the "anti-Christ" simply refers to anti-matter? Or are there beings made from anti-matter that are by their very existence living in opposition to God? I guess that means that finding the anti-Christ, if he does appear amongst us, won't be difficult. Dude will just blow up and turn into energy when he gets too close to Earth.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Speaking of "scientific interpretations of biblical statements", before I stopped being a Christian (but when I stopped believing in the Bible as the "Word of God"), I used to think of Genesis as a pre-science human's attempts to understand the big bang and evolution as shown to him through a vision given by God.

Then I stopped believing in even that.

This actually reminds me of something in one of sfdebris' (internet sci-fi reviewer) reviews.  It was a long joke about how the story of Genesis came into existence when God was trying to explain how life works to Moses using scientific terms; he had to keep progressively dumbing down the explanation with metaphors because Moses, being from such a primitive time, simply could not comprehend the scientific concepts God was trying to explain to him.

There's always one asshole...

"Go home Frank, we are all tired of your jokes."

Or possibly two:

"Try to ignore him. Maybe he'll stop doing it if we don't pay attention to him."

Apparently those pictures were taken after the English history event was over so those two weren't part of the show. They just turned up there afterwards.

...Maybe they had been in a cosplay event nearby and wanted to see the other event as well?

What's more, every single atom that comprises every living thing has originated from deep inside a star e.g. we are all made from stardust, so chitoryu might be correct in that we all are God.
