Seriously, how can a mind be disembodied ? How can such a mind direct activites?

Hm... In my opinion, defining God as "disembodied" is a bit off the mark. I think most of us assume that God operates within a substrate of some type or another. "Spirit" is just a placeholder for a magnficiently complex mechanism we know very little about as of yet~ mayhaps God is a type of eternally emerging energy source capable of processing every logically possible event and thought? I personally think that an infinite God would be something very akin to that.

How it would direct activities is another matter... as we lack any observations of God's activities in contemporary times, I think we're pretty much down to guesswork when it comes to this area. However, if God has an interest invested in the development of the life forms it has created, I don't see why it would be impossible for this God to direct it as He/She wishes.

How can it differentialte the voices of billions in thousands of languages? I t won't do to answer it is far superior to us as we are to fleas as that is the question.Faith is no answer, for that assumes what is to be shown.

An infinitely intelligent/powerful God wouldn't have a bit of a problem making out all the languages that ever existed on Earth. If God has complete and total knowledge of everything that has, and is going to ever happen, and has infinite computational power to boot thanks to an infinite source of energy to work with, why couldn't God process each and every language on Earth? Human brains certainly couldn't process such a massive task, but I think if you increased your overall intelligence by 1,000,000,000x10^10^10^10^10 fold or higher, you wouldn't have to think twice to get it all in your head.

There are no empirical findings to demonstrate any attributes of a god, much less a disembodied mind . Please, theists and deists answer . I remain in my Socratic ignorance.

Admittedly, theism deals with things that are unfalsifiable in nature~ where did it all come from, and where is it all going? But we also realize that there are no known empirical findings that demonstrate how something can come from nothing, either. Existence itself is a pretty big mystery, and I think theist and nontheist alike, we've got a lot further to go in discovering all the answers.
