The respondent is perfectly free to answer in any way that suits. It is, instead, an open-ended question that leaves the answer up to the respondent.
As I said in another post, I once asked a woman what she believed, as a Christian. She recited the Apostle's Creed to me as her answer, for which I thanked her. It was a reasonable and sufficient answer.
However, Monsieur B., you have refused to answer even very well-defined, limited questions as to your beliefs. That is, of course, your perfect right, but it is also unsatisfying to the questioner.
You have said that you believe in a "Creator," but will not characterize that entity in any understandable way. I believe in my "Creators," my mother and father, who are still living at age 94. Once, they told me the circumstances of my creation, in terms of the date. They knew the date, because it was the only possible date. Before that date, my mother was at her parent's home, while my father was finishing his training as a B-17 pilot. When he knew his date of deployment, my mother took the train from her parents home to the base from which he would fly on the trip to Europe. He flew away the next day. I was born nine months later, while he was still in Italy. The date was October 29, 1944, without any question. So I know the date of my creation and spoke to my "Creators" this afternoon.
So, describe your "Creator" for me. Is it the Judeo-Christian deity? Or is it some more general supernatural force or entity?
