Along Frink’s line of reasoning, I also consider the various religious gods to be highly unlikely, for the very reason that their descriptions are comprehensible to us. Any being that could create our universe must be so many intellectual/evolutionary rungs above us, that we couldn’t possibly understand essentially anything substantive about it.

Further, I see no reason for god to try explaining anything to us. If we found some sort of primitive protozoic life on Europa, would we try explaining anything to it? Its life is all about eating, pooping, and splitting. We might feed it, but in so doing we wouldn’t be revealing anything of substance to it about us. Similarly, our life of physics, math, art, etc. would likely be so primitive compared to whatever thoughts/processes god utilizes, that I see no point in him “communicating” at all with us. I think we are just patting ourselves on the back if we think that god wants a relationship with us.
