Are you dismissing the possibility that God could be a woman?
To answer your question though, the universe was made by IKEA. |

By:
why does it have to be a 'who'?
just because something is complex and the understanding is beyond current scientific knowledge is no reason to start asserting it must be 'god' or some other omnipotent imaginary friend. current scientific consensus is: If you leave hydrogen atoms alone for 13.7 billion years, the hydrogen will start talking about it. |

If not having an explanation to you means god must have created it .. who created god?
Riddle me that, oh man of the copper and zinc head support?! ![]() |

The human need to have an explanation / solution to everything is a highly destructive force.
Freddy and the boys answered this question for us back in the 80's. It's a kind of magic. A kind of magic. One dream, one soul, One prize, one goal. One golden glance of what should be. It's a kind of magic. One shaft of light that shows the way. No mortal man can win this day. |

When man can't find an explanation he usually invents one. Few are prepared to admit they don't know.
|
|
By:
There's only 2 possible explanations.
1) Something created it 2) It's always been there 1 is a case of - who created the creator who created the creator who created....etc. I'd plump for number 2, but even that frazzles my mind. |

We're highly likely to be living in a simulated universe.
Once we've figured out what makes the universe tick, we'll doubtless simulate our own universes, and we'll technically be Gods. Mwah ha ha ha haaa! |

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face? If you were faced with Him in all His glory What would you ask if you had just one question? |
|
By:
I've no idea. If only he was one of us, we might be able to ask.
Perhaps a stranger on the bus, or something. |
|
By:
Only society has taught us of the danger of strangers, so know one will be prepared to ask anymore.
|

By:
"know one"? Your negatory is unsatisfactory.
|

By:
Oh, a typo, how did that happen
![]() If God had a face what would it look like? And would you want to see if, seeing meant That you would have to believe in things like heaven And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets? |

There's another theory that it expands and expands until it gets to a max limit then contracts back to a tiny tiny point, then there is another big bang and another universe starts all over again, repeat ad infinitum.

If it didn't exist you'd have to invent it.

The only answer I can personally give is to read Hawking's book ....'A Brief History in Time'. Very heavy going but if you stick with it you might find an explanation. If too complicated go by the saying......'life is meant to be lived, not understood'.

Maybe Dilbert has the answer.

Isn't Hawking's book undermined by the fact he refused to believe the Higgs-Boson particle existed? I think he even said after it's discovery it made the physics less interesting, not sure if that was sour grapes

Hawing was the first to believe in black holes. (now proven) Go to the 'event horizon' and time stops. Sounds like science fiction but recognised my all astrophysicists now.
Yes, I know. How can time stop? |

By:
Just to baffle a little bit more. Only 1% of the universe can be seen. The rest is dark matter or dark energy I believe. Where is the other 99%?

The 1% own the 99%

If I only knew who 'they' are. If I did I would probably end up in a bigger institution. And trust me, many people have trying to figure it out. FWIW, imho Richard Dawkins has it spot on with his book....'The God Delusion'. |

By:
Good book then? I've never read any of his because I'd already figured out meself how delusional these people are.

By:
People have beliefs and I'm not going to insult them but if there was a God he must be a touch greedy expanding the universe 1,000,000 miles every day.
I would ask him but he must be helluva busy running it. |

Is it not the case Hawkings really became synonymous with Physics because of his disability rather than his work which largely centered around theorising possibilities most of which were unproven, think the likes of Maxwell, Newton and Einstein are held in much higher esteem in Science circles. Maybe even Tesla.

Why can't the universe itself be considered to be "God".
Etienne Vermeersch (who just died a few weeks ago incidentally, so maybe he now knows for sure) said this: "If everything must have a cause, of course, this also applies to God; if God can exist in isolation, then why not the universe?" |

People usually demand a beginning, so in the beginning there was a sea of spirit and it filled all of space. The spirit was static, content, and aware of itself. It was a giant resting on the bosom of its thought and contemplating what it is.
Then the spirit moved into action. It withdrew into itself until all of space was empty. In the center, the sparkling mind of the spirit shone. This was the beginning of the individuality of the spirit. This was what the spirit discovered itself to be when it awakened. This spirit was God. God desired self-expression and desired companionship; therefore, God projected the cosmos and souls. The cosmos was built with music, arithmetic, geometry, harmony, system, and balance. The building blocks were all of the same material - the life essence - God simply changed the wavelength and rate of vibration of these building blocks thereby creating the patterns for multitudes of life forms. This action resulted in the law of diversity which supplied endless patterns. God played on this law of diversity as a pianist plays on a piano - producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony. |

Each design carried within it the plan for its evolution - both physical and spiritual. This plan corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a piano. The sounds of several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become phrases; phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and forth, across and between and around each other, to make a symphony. Then in the end, the music will stop and the physical universe will be no more; but between the beginning and the finish of the music, there was glorious beauty and a glorious experience. The spiritual universe will continue on.
Everything assumed its design in various forms and their activity resulted in the laws of attraction and repulsion. All forms would attract and repel each other in their evolutionary dance. All things are a part of God and an expression of God's thought. The Mind of God was the force which propelled and perpetuated these thoughts. All minds, as thoughts of God, do everything God imagined. Everything which came into being is an aspect of this One Mind. All things, including the souls of individuals, were created as "fractals" of God for companionship with God - the "Whole." This revelation from Cayce revealed the astonishing fact of how self-similar the universe is on every scale: from the atom to biological organisms, from human beings to the planet Earth, from solar systems to galaxies, from the universe(s) to God. The pattern God used to create souls was the pattern of God's own Spirit. The spirit is life. From the spirit, the mind builds patterns. From the mind, the physical creation is the result. This is how the spirit, the mind, and individuality, became the pattern for souls. This is how cause, action, and effect became the pattern for everything. First there was the spirit (the first cause); then there was the action which withdrew spirit into itself; then there was the resulting individuality of God. The spirit of the individual existed before the soul of the individual was created. The spirit keeps the knowledge of its identity with God. The soul has the ability to experience the activities of the mind in a manner separate from God. Thus, new individuals issued from God and remained dependent upon God; but individuals were also aware of an existence apart from God. Individuals were given the power to choose (free will) and direct their own activity. Without free will, it would only remain a part of the individuality of God. The mind, issuing as a force from God, would naturally fulfill God's thoughts unless directed otherwise. The power to do this - to direct the force of mind individually from God - is free will. And the record or memory of this freedom is the soul. The soul began with its first expression of free will through the force of mind. The first thought the spirit generated from free will - the first diversion of the force of mind from its normal path of unity with God - was the beginning of the soul. The nucleus of the soul was the balance of positive and negative forces equal in power. These forces produce harmonious activities: the positive force initiates, impregnates, and thrusts forward; while its polar negative force receives, nourishes, and ejects. The steps of this evolutionary process are also the stages of the thought process: perception, reflection, and opinion. |
