It all depends how you define god. You are only using your sophomoric understanding of "a god".

Ok. How do you define “god”?

A being that created humans and the world and has control over human behavior and life.

So you’re using the definition of Islam and/or Calvinist?

My favorite part about religion is how everyone just moves the goalposts however they want to justify their beliefs.

Your use of the idiom “move the goal posts doesn’t fit here” .

Everybody defines God differently.

In your post you find God is a woo supernatural, that’s not everybody’s definition.

I looked up syllogisms. That's the all A is B, some B are C, therefore all A is C FALLACY stuff since it's really only some A might be B. Or whatever.

I think interpreting my question as a syllogism is questionable since I just asked if A and B were equivalent.

But if you just want to shut me down kewl Job Done as George said

It's just a way of structuring your argument. But it need not be in that form.

It seemed to me that your question "Explain relationship to extraterrestrial intelligence given current evidence?" , which was preceded by a statement "Atheists on here often say they sre rational and believe in science".

So yes, it appears that your question was related to the assertion about atheists, which is rejected. No one is trying to "shut you down" lol, just responding by saying the premise is flawed.

Do you understand that?

And I did not intend to be sexist, I meant "dick" as a synonym for "jerk", which would have been a slightly better choice and I mea culpa on that one. Apologies there.

This competition-based survival of the fittest is a myth. Nature demands both competition AND cooperation. But it sure fits the patriarchal narrative so bros can feel good about themselves.

Biological evolution is survival of the fittest. How lovely that fittest is "being good."

My favorite part about some posters on here is they decide some other posters they perceive as being "other" are playing a game that has "goalpsts" and then dismiss "them" for moving the goalposts. So they don't have to engage
My second favorite part is how some posters refuse to engage unless posts are couched"correctly." Thus never needing to engage.
It is all like filling out a form online that keeps booting you out for not formatting correctly.

Do I believe it is probable that there is other life in the universe? Yes. I would love to get into the likely salty oceans on Europa, Enceladus, or Ganymede. It would be awesome to discover and learn about similarities and differences if there is any other life there.

I wonder how the religious crazies will react if we do find life outside of Earth?

define life.

According to NASA, "Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution."

Like a microbe. The only life found in space is from Earth.

I personally think the whole space exploration to be a huge waste of money.

I'm not PP, do I believe there are microbes somewhere else... IDK and IDC.

You do know that the technology they develop for space exploration has had an enormous impact on life on earth, right? In environmental science, healthcare and medicine, and other materials development (like glass, memory foam, etc.). What I personally find to be a huge waste of money — and time and brain power — is social media.
