So I was just driving around and thinking the other day (driving is when I do most of my thinking) and was giving some thought to the whole God thing. I met someone the other day and we had an in depth discussion about God. His was “yes, I believe” and mine was the opposite. The usual questions from him:

1. Who made the universe
2. How do you know what’s moral
3. What happens when you die?

My usual questions/statements:

1. Why does there have to be a God?
2. I think morality is self-evident (then I quote the Declaration of Independance (“we hold these truths to be self-evident”)
3. What about all the inconsistencies in the Bible (You want to see? Try this link.)
4. I’ve accepted that when I die, it’s over and I’m gone. But whatever happens to me, happens to you, no matter what either of us believe
5. Why does there have to be something that created the universe? If God always was, and matter is never created or destroyed, then why hasn’t the universe just always been?

So the last statement got me thinking. Maybe the whole universe, or the system that is the universe is God. The creator, the all present, ever-powerful. I can buy into that. You can feel one with the universe. A person is pretty insignificant in relation to the universe, but like the chaos theory, maybe the flap of a butterfly’s wings here on earth creates a super nova in another galaxy. I like those thoughts.
