Could be. But different observes give different versions of God, while providing the same evidence.I believe God does not depend on observers but the observers depend upon their observation to ensure validity of their understanding.

I believe Molech for one.
True.I believe that is true to an extent. God has a much higher intelligence than any of us so we are not capable of getting to know things as God does. However we do get to know God on the level He is willing to reveal Himself to us.
I believe existence is not perfection:
Luke 18:19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
Stamp collecting nor vampire hunting have never been considered a religion.
This is simply what you believe, and not really relevant to the discussion.
The Anointed Wrote...….. The death of the body in which "YOU" the invisible mind develops, is not the death of you, who will either enter into the collective consciousness of all that the eternal energy has become, or be rejected.
The response by shunyadragon…….. This is simply what you believe, and not really relevant to the discussion.
The Anointed continues...….. The eternal energy which has neither beginning or end, that has become this material universe and has developed a mind that is the compilation of all the information gathered by all the diverse life-forms that it [The Eternal Energy] or God has become.
Nothing Is Solid & Everything Is Energy – Scientists Explain The World of Quantum Physics*
What we perceive as our physical material world, is really not physical or material at all, in fact, it is far from it. This has been proven time and time again by multiple Nobel Prize (among many other scientists around the world) winning physicists, one of them being Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist who made significant contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory.
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr
At the turn of the nineteenth century, physicists started to explore the relationship between energy and the structure of matter. In doing so, the belief that a physical, Newtonian material universe that was at the very heart of scientific knowing was dropped, and the realization that matter is nothing but an illusion replaced it. Scientists began to recognize that everything in the Universe is made out of energy.
“Despite the unrivaled empirical success of quantum theory, the very suggestion that it may be literally true as a description of nature is still greeted with cynicism, incomprehension and even anger.” (T. Folger, “Quantum Shmantum”; Discover 22:37-43, 2001)
Quantum physicists discovered that physical atoms are made up of vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating, each one radiating its own unique energy signature. Therefore, if we really want to observe ourselves and find out what we are, we are really beings of energy and vibration, radiating our own unique energy signature -this is fact and is what quantum physics has shown us time and time again. We are much more than what we perceive ourselves to be, and it’s time we begin to see ourselves in that light. If you observed the composition of an atom with a microscope you would see a small, invisible tornado-like vortex, with a number of infinitely small energy vortices called quarks and photons. These are what make up the structure of the atom. As you focused in closer and closer on the structure of the atom, you would see nothing, you would observe a physical void. The atom has no physical structure, we have no physical structure, physical things really don’t have any physical structure! Atoms are made out of invisible energy, not tangible matter.
“Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual” (1) – Richard Conn Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University (quote taken from “the mental universe)
It’s quite the conundrum, isn’t it? Our experience tells us that our reality is made up of physical material things, and that our world is an independently existing objective one. The revelation that the universe is not an assembly of physical parts, suggested by Newtonian physics, and instead comes from a holistic entanglement of immaterial energy waves stems from the work of Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg, among others.

The Role of Consciousness in Quantum Mechanics
What does it mean that our physical material reality isn’t really physical at all? It could mean a number of things, and concepts such as this cannot be explored if scientists remain within the boundaries of the only perceived world existing, the world we see.
As Nikola Tesla supposedly said:
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
Fortunately, many scientists have already taken the leap, and have already questioned the meaning and implications of what we’ve discovered with quantum physics. One of these potential revelations is that “the observer creates the reality.”
A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the OBSERVER CREATES THE REALITY. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the UNIVERSE IS "MENTAL CONSTRUCTION" .
Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. (R. C. Henry, “The Mental Universe”; Nature 436:29, 2005)
The term, "THE WORD OF GOD," pertains to the sense that is identical to the term “LOGOS” or the mould. The mould by which the whole sense of a thing is given. In other words, the very plan from the outset. In Sanskrit the similar meaning is given in the use of the word 'vach.' Vach means word. But in Sanskrit teachings of the Sanatana Dharma, vach has many levels. Including where the word is first considered as being in the mind as a thought, not as the spoken word or speech.
Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine.
Anything constructive that I hear on this forum and elsewhere I retain in my memory bank. the crap I reject.
I think it would be the same with the LOGOS, who is the collective consciousness of all he has become.
The LOGOS, who is the essential reality of the universe, the eternal spirit from which all being originates and to which all must return, who manifests himself as this seemingly physical universe, which in reality has no physical structure at all, but is no other than the eternal energy which has neither beginning or end, and has become the eternal and boundless cosmos.
"I AM THE WAY;" said the Lord (The MOST HIGH to have developed within the Logos) through the mouth of his obedient servant Jesus.
Your citing old philosophical perspectives of consciousness, and not relevant science. There is no objective verifiable evidence that Quantum Mechanics explains consciousness (classic misuse of science), nor is there any evidence other than the physical relationship between the brain and mind/consciousness.
You are basically presenting an argument for the nature of mind/consciousness based on your religious beliefs and not objective verifiable evidence that can be confirmed by science.
Again Chalmers 'hard problem' is a philosophical view and not a scientific one.
Do you believe that this particular universe was created by and from Electromagnetic energy?
Do you believe that the invisible Mind/Spirit that is you, who develops within that body from the information taken into the brain, can survive the death of the body?
Do you believe that you are connected to the first life form that slid out of the primordial waters of the earth, by an unbroken genetic thread of Life?
Or do you believe that from mankind will evolve a new life form that will be as superior to mankind as man is to monkeys?
No.I believe the nature of our physical existence began as a Quantum World and Laws of Nature Created by God.
What you describe to me is the soul, which is independent of our mind and consciousness. Yes it survives the death of the body.
I do not buy 'slid out of the primordial waters of the earth.' The science of abiogenesis does not describe the origins of life, and the science of evolution does not describe evolution this way. Yes there is an unbroken thread of life from the beginning.

Do you believe that Mankind, who stands on the top rung of the ladder of evolution, closes the door to the evolutionary process?
This is a bit hypothetical, and I consider it likely that humans continue to evolve, but not a new life form.
The Anointed said:……. Do you believe that this particular universe was created by and from Electromagnetic energy?”
Shunyadragon Answers……. I believe the nature of our physical existence began as a Quantum World and Laws of Nature Created by God.
The Anointed responds…….. Seeing as you have avoided the question, let me ask again; “ Do you believe that THIS PARTICULAR UNIVERSE was created by and from Electromagnetic energy?”
The anointed said……. Do you believe that the invisible Mind/Spirit that is you, who develops within that body from the information taken into the brain, can survive the death of the body?
Shunyadragon Answers……. What you describe to me is the soul, which is independent of our mind and consciousness. Yes it survives the death of the body.
The Anointed responds…….. How can the soul be independent of our mind and consciousness, when YOU are body, soul, and spirit=mind. Matthew 22: 37; Jesus answered; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart=body, with all your soul, and with all your mind=Spirit: BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT.
Then of the Thee in Me who works behind The veil,
I lifted up my hands to find A lamp amid the Darkness;
and I heard, As from Without----
“The Me within Thee is blind.”----- By Omar Khayyam.
When the body in which you [the mind] are being formed, dies, [This is the first death] and your body of “skin, flesh, muscle, blood, bone, brain matter etc, etc,” has returned to the universal elements from which it was created, all that remains, is a shadow or rather, a facsimile of YOU, the mind or spirit, that has been imprinted into the universal life force or soul, from which it will be resurrected in the next cycle of universal activity.
So you are correct, the soul into which all your gathered information [MIND] is imprinted, does survive the death of the body.
No.The anointed said……. Do you believe that you are connected to the first life form that slid out of the primordial waters of the earth, by an unbroken genetic thread of Life?
Shunyadragon Answers……. I do not buy 'slid out of the primordial waters of the earth.' The science of abiogenesis does not describe the origins of life, and the science of evolution does not describe evolution this way. Yes there is an unbroken thread of life from the beginning.

Shunyadragon Answers……. This is a bit hypothetical, and I consider it likely that humans continue to evolve, but not a new life form.
The Anointed responds…….. Does this mean that you reject the belief that the animal ancestor in which the mind that would become mankind had developed, did not continue to evolve until it became the new life form “Mankind?”
We believe differently.
A bit hypothetical both ways regardless.
OK! NO! My previous answer stands.
The soul journeys on and our mind and consciousness die with the body. We simply believe differently.
Nice quote!
We still believe differently. The soul reflects the mind and so much more.
No.
As worded no. As I said a bit hypothetical. The physical evidence indicates that the mind/conscious evolved over time and we share many aspects with the more intelligent animals. The soul is unique and separate from the mind/consciousness in humans
We certainly do believe differently, but your belief is very close to the belief of the atheist who have no hope, they live to procreate then cease to exist for all eternity, so I may as well say to you goodbye, for I will never come across YOU again.
Very confusing incoherent response, I believe in God and the soul
Correct! You do believe in God and the soul, and you believe also, that 'YOU,' the mind that is currently developing within that body, will cease to exist for all eternity when that body is returned to the elements from which it was created.
Do you believe, that the God, who you have accepted, continues to evolve on the information gathered by all the life forms that he has become, which information is imprinted into the universal soul, which is the divine animating principle that pervades the entire universe that the Energy which cannot be created, nor ever be destroyed, has become?
Perhaps you do. But do you believe in the resurrection of the dead into the world that is to come: The next cycle of Universal activity?
. . . but the soul lives on reflecting far more knowledge than the mind.
