Ask, Kaku, Sagan, Hawking, Einstein and Spinoza, who used that word to mean what they said it meant to them.
So do I.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi6yPJvCFU0"I use the word "God" in an impersonal sense, like Einstein did, for the laws of nature. As in, I want to know the mind of god. So to know the mind of god, is to know the laws of nature."
Hawking, "Brief Answers to the Big Questions, Ch. 1, Is There A God?"
"The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying… it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity." Carl Sagan
