I need a noun that means 'one who is omnipotent' that doesn't have any religious connections. (so not 'god')
Thanks
Thanks
Fascinating.honestrosewater said:You can use omnipotent as a noun (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=omnipotent&book=Dictionary ).
Wow, that's one ugly word. Where does cuncti- come from? Is it Spanish? Oh, whoops, didn't see the little etymology entry there. Heh.Evo said:I found "cunctipotent", but it's an adjective. (just thought I'd post it as word of the day)
Cunctipotent
Cunc*tip"o*tent (k?nk-t?p"?-tent), a. [L. cunctipotens; cunctus all + potens powerful.] All-powerful; omnipotent. [R] God cunctipotent." Neale (Trans. Rhythm of St. Bernard).

An Omnipotent Being is a non-religious noun that refers to a being or entity that has unlimited or infinite power and control over all things. This concept is often used in philosophy and theology to describe a supreme being or deity.
An Omnipotent Being is a non-religious term that does not necessarily imply the existence of a deity. It is a concept that can be applied to any being or entity that possesses unlimited power. A religious god, on the other hand, is typically defined as a supernatural being that is worshipped and believed to have created the universe and controls its destiny.
No, there is currently no scientific evidence to support the existence of an Omnipotent Being. This concept is often considered a philosophical or theological concept and falls outside the realm of scientific inquiry.
Since an Omnipotent Being is not a scientifically testable concept, it cannot be proven or disproven using the scientific method. However, individuals may have personal beliefs or faith in the existence or non-existence of such a being.
The concept of an Omnipotent Being is not directly relevant to science as it cannot be tested or studied using scientific methods. However, it may be a topic of interest in philosophical or theological discussions and can provide insights into the nature of power and control in the universe.
