I have came to the conclusion that the universe closely fits many of the characteristics associated with God. By the Universe I mean all the energy matter that exists, all that exists, and the laws and science that determine how they act with each other.
I do not mean to suggest “look there's God” or this is what we were to figure out but instead just that the universe fits the definition of God.
I have compiled a list of common Characteristics associated with God and how they apply to the universe.
Omnipresence- The universe is everywhere, true by definition.
Omnipotence – While it can not do everything it can do all that is possible which fits into some definitions of Omnipotence
Omniscience - The universe certainly “knows” how the every thing in the universe works and where every thing is.
Its infallible – The universe can not be wrong. It decides what is true. Let me explain with an example .
Here we have the equation for synthesis of water (sure it can result in a few other things like H2O2, OH, and H3O but lets just say in cases that H2O are formed)
2H2 + O2 => 2H20
And time goes on
2H2 + O2 => 2H20
2H2 + O2 => 2H20
2H2 + O2 => 2H20
One day for one reason or another the physical laws change and under the same circumstances the protons and neutrons realign and we get
2H2 + O2 => 5B
2H2 + O2 => 5B becomes the part of workings of the universe, the new truth.
It is the Ruler of All- The laws of the universe control everything acts in relation to everything else.
It’s the creator – Assuming that the universe as we know it came into existence via nature means. Those Natural means would be a part of what the universe entails.
It Necessary– The universe needs to exist for anything to exist.
Eternal – If anything always existed forever the universe existed for ever, if anything always exists it will always exist. Or better yet if there was a time that there was nothing it would have to have created it self.
It the greatest thing conceivable - I can't think of anything grater than evey thing.
It is potentially perfect – Unless the ultimate fate of the universe is something is really messed up like heat death or anything is which the whole universe is equalized or argument that the universe is perfect for the fact that it can not mess up. This of coarse is looking at life just as a little spin off of things.
Well what do you think? Any errors in my logic?
