scripturally consistent for god to be human and divine would seem obvious to many‚ however I do think there are some objections which at least require consideration. For instance‚ the incarnation seems to move away from the Torah and some major fiercely held beliefs. God in the Torah continues to assert himself as radically different from the various gods worshiped by the people groups that surrounded them. The Roman gods‚ for example‚ were seen to constantly be interacting with humans‚ frequently being depicted

A. Catherine‚ our main character‚ wants proof of many things‚ mainly proof that she isn’t crazy like her dad ended up being‚ and establish her own legacy. She also wanted to prove that the prime number proof that she led Harold Dobbs to find is her work‚ and not her dad’s. I think that her main proof is to sort of separate herself from her father‚ because the movie starts with Catherine talking to her deceased father‚ asking and discussing the nature of her father’s craziness‚ and if she will end

Anselm`s view about God is that his existence in our minds proves the existence of him in reality. Trying to prove that he does not in fact exist‚ contradicts the purpose‚ since as attempting to convince others that he does not exist‚ you recognize his being.
