I agree with most of the slides, not that you were asking. But it only concludes that there is a god not that god would be of any form that we currently describe it in. What made you personally believe that god of the Bible was the only way to describe god. What other religious investigation did you do? Who is to say that humans have discovered god at all? You use a Hawkings quote, but he doesn't believe in the Bible, only that there is a god.
I was raised in the church and trying to get my lifelong questions finally answered.

To D. Thomas: The Bible does not allow for the existence of two God Beings. It categorically denies it. Let’s take a look at some New Testament passages.
Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 when he affirmed that there is one God. Answering the question about what is the greatest commandment, he said: "The most important one...is this: `Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one’" (Mark 12:29). There is no other being that is worthy of worship (Matthew 4:10).
Likewise, Paul taught that there is one God. He wrote: "Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith" (Romans 3:29-30).
In 1 Corinthians 8:4 he wrote: "So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one." In 1 Timothy 2:5 he wrote: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
James wrote: "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder" (James 2:19).
As we saw above, Paul points out that the man Jesus Christ is the mediator between humans and the one God. Even while describing the role of Jesus Christ, who was God in the flesh, Paul still affirmed that there is only one God. When the Son became flesh, he did not cease to be God — he was God in the flesh (John 1:14). But there was not, never has been, never will be, two Gods.

i'm interested in the slides. I'm a christian student who often engages in a similar discussion with non-christian fellow-students.
Thanks a lot.
