Is the Universe Alive?

To All God's Children,


-->If a definition of God is that there is a superior being then there’s a simple answer to all this. The universe is a superior being and thus there is at least one and so that means there is a God. The universe just is so God just is. We all just exist. There’s no more thought needed than that. It’s funny that we argue about whether there is a superior being, but we’ve been looking at it everyday. My mother taught me in Sunday school that God was omnipresent and omniscient, but I don’t think I understood that until recently. Everything, everywhere, and every particle of your being is apart of a greater being.

-->For those against the universe is God argument: there are bodies of matter that are superior in size to us; and who are we to say that stars and planets have no consciousness or no self-awareness? Their self-awareness might not be the same as ours. We can look into the mirror and recognize ourselves and so do dolphins, and apes. There’s also a funny looking species of bird that also is self-aware, but I can’t remember its name. Perhaps the universe isn’t aware of itself but still has awareness such as plants have awareness, but cannot move and interact in the same way that animals do. Some evidence of the universe being God is it’s greater than us in size, we were created and born within it; and our minds and energy gives the universe its life.

-->And does being self-aware really mean that we’re alive? Aren’t we just a collection of organs and smaller organisms (e.g. good and bad bacteria)? Even a major corporation could be considered alive because it has a “body” comprised of a head (i.e. CEOs), a heart (i.e. office workers) and a circulatory system (i.e. the elevator system; just kidding on that last one). I guess the microorganisms living on the corporate body are all the little factory workers. Not very many people would argue with me when they say they are alive. So if the universe is comprised of many of the same smaller bits that our bodies are constructed of then why can’t the universe itself be a living superior being – a God? I’ve found a God and I believe it’s the same God that the ancient people worshipped with their fire and rain gods.

Peace be with you
