There is a belief of God or gods and goddesses. There is atheism. There are so many ideas. They have argued with one another. Nothing I say or convey can be new. Perhaps discussed many times before. Polytheists have attributed different gods and goddesses with a range of attributes. There is a a god for virtually everything. When monotheism came across specific attributes. God is good, vengeful. In this belief Satan plays a role, Satan is like an alternative god who tempts people to do evil. He is a fallen angel. Angels are God’s pious servants. It is convenient to have a God with certain human attributes good and bad,something with which he can be associated to. God is a father. All human attributes. He is the creator of all that there is. Those believe in Good God cannot understand why He would allow terrible things happen. This makes people increasingly cynical. A vengeful God may provide an explanation. Or that God makes things happen because He simply does not care. A moral God reflects the values The aspect of God is that of the Creator.
As simply being a Creator, He cannot be within what he has made. He would be outside time and space. He is a programmer built things in such a way one find identical patterns everywhere as scientific knowledge grows. We know about stars are objects just like our sun. Many of them have planets orbiting them. We know about the different shapes of galaxies. We see patterns in life. We know animals have DNA, it has been discovered and been proven to be true. We will discover more patterns as time goes by.
Mathematics has helped predict a phenomenon, that light would bend around an object with a huge mass.
It is the Creator who has made it possible to make everything infinitely knowable. Perhaps some kind machine which is made which travel the entire universe starts knowing everything, understanding everything. Still being omniscient within this creation does not make us God, though it can give the semblance of being a god.Even being omnipotent within the creation that we have is meaningless. Because we are within this reality, confined to this time and space.
People see disasters, earthquakes, floods and see tremendous loss of life. Just imagine in the vast distances of our universe a super-nova occurs, entire planets are wiped out, planets vaporised a terrible holocaust. But that is the way nature works. One day our Sun will die and we will have to start making plans from today to escape the Solar System and plot a course to the youngest stars which has a planet identical to Earth. We can do if we have the knowledge and the technological capacity.
Atheists reject the existence of God outright because there is no evidence of His existence. How can a being who does not exist within the limited dimensions be observed? Atheists ridicule people who give a simple answer God did it because they imagine that is an unscientific reply. When science progresses beyond our current understanding the end result would be that God did it, God was responsible.
Perhaps in strange kind of probability – God in order to permanently end the cynicism about His existence will manifest Himself. Or decides join humanity like in Joan Ousborne’s song “What if God was one us”. Experiencing life as a human being. Perhaps he has many lifetimes and eventually decides enough is enough and rise in all His glory and show Himself. It could be a world altering event. It would change things forever. Many ideas about God would be revised, altered or thrown aside.Religions would disappear, as will atheism and so would many belief systems. Perhaps some of the prophecies would be proven correct.
