God Explained


My picture of God


I know you have all been continually wondering about the biggest question in the universe, relax, finally I can give you the answer.
For a while I have been oscillating between ‘god’ and ‘no god’, currently in the ‘no god’ position, the hurdle of ‘where god came from’ proving too big a jump. (not sure about that now, let’s keep it open).
But, suppose humanity keeps on evolving in body, energy and mind for the next billion years or so. Not just us, but the whole universe of life forms, and just perhaps all these civilizations come together and evolve into a fantastic entity called god. Alternatively, we manage to ‘build’ a god like being capable of creating universes etc. Pretty stiff remit I admit.
I accept that Occam’s Razor would frown on such a scenario (perhaps not) but it would probably have done likewise to the idea of mobile phones 500 years ago.
But time is on the side of such a tremendous transition.
My grasp was always tenuous of the concept of a (possible) infinite time stretching backwards and forwards from the present, although the big bang seems to have occurred a finite time ago. The end of this universe also is reckoned to be a finite time in the future.
In an effort to neaten things up a bit, perhaps the past and the future coincide, time being a continuous loop. This scenario is, I believe, not too unlikely, but alas, no easier to grasp.
So, the god of the future, our distant relation, or, built by a distant future universal conglomerate, is the one that created this universe.
And so it goes on.
Further, heaven and hell could be in private ownership, run by the highest or lowest bidder. This is facetious of course but the idea could be expanded almost indefinitely.
I am sure that philosophers have talked about this stuff for thousands of years and probably equates to 1st year studies or less.
It's just a musing.
