That one is easy. The same as when He said, "Let us make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness. . ." (Genesis 1:26).
He is a Triune God: Three persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit -- one God.
This is preposterous. How can one being also be three? And for what reason did he decide to be three? (after all, he is omniscient and the creator of himself).
And why was he telling Jesus and the ghost-man anything? If they are one, then why speak to the other?

Did it ever dawn on you that perhaps the reason there are "three" is because the ancient nomads who authored the OT thought it made a good story? I doubt it, for that would invoke Occam's Razor, which is the antithesis of all of the nonsense in Genesis.

If everyone over the past several centuries held your sentiment of "not caring or knowing how the universe works," you wouldn't have that car you drive, that computer you're using, or that medication you take when sick. That's right. We would still be in the Dark Ages living as feudal serfs under the dark umbrella of the Church and its witch and book burnings.
Education is the enemy of the Church, as only the ignorance of the masses allows it control. Sadly, that control has come to an end and will die off completely within the next couple of centuries if the current escalation in the number of "non-believers" continues.
