Thread Name: BS: Is there a god or not?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there a god or not?
My research has led me to the strong suspicion that God and the cosmos are one and the same. The creation and the creator. A self-regulating organism.
This of course requires intelligence, but not intelligence as we would be able to understand it, one that is quite beyond our comprehension.
In my model the cosmos keeps itself in balance by constant ebb and flow - where there is life there is change. For a constant but moving quantity of what we think of as "good" there is an equal non-static quantity of what we think of as "bad".
This could explain things like SIDS and other apparently random atrocities otherwise attributed to an unfeeling or non-existant diety.
It could also explain things like compassion, art, etc.
I should stress that these are suspicions, not beliefs. My research is ongoing and this model has not yet been road tested to the extent that I can confidently say "I believe".
