true
surprised?
maybe our picture (I have none) of god is different -- maybe not.
I don't ascribe to a "creator" except that the Universe is sort of self-creating, self-sustaining
what we cann "creating" is only a human concept -- like a human forms something out of a piece of clay -- or creates a painting or a work of literature
we take things that are there and create something new -- it seems to be almost out of nothing and in a wayit is -- because the finished creation did not exist before.
but, like human individuals (those who grow) continually recreate themselves -- so also does the Universe.
there is so much we don't know.
I think because the Universe is, God is -- but beyond that I don't know.
old concepts of god get in the way of discovering the Whole God (which we really cannot -- only parts -- and that's the aim).
so I just say "god" and let it go at that -- it's a common English word, and everyone knows it -- so we have sort of a common reference point. Beyond that, there can be no definition.
since god is YHVH, that is, existence, and I exist, therefore my existence is god.
i could go on and on trying but that would boggle my mind in particular, so it's best to stop right there.

Thanks, once again, for your always well-informed and helpful comments. I am aware of the holographic theory, but even it might turn out, in all speculative points, to be true (which I very seriously doubt), it would still not fundamentally alter my own general theory as presented.

Just one comment like yours means more than you may imagine! Thank you so much! I do need a little encouragement now and again! ( I do expect, and it helps me insure less errors, to recieve constructive criticism as well.) You made my day!

GE -
I am by no means an expert, and I fully believe in a supreme intelligence that has created what we observe, but postulate #2 is not necessarily true. Many quantum physicists believe the theory of the holographic universe, put forth by David Bohm. If this theory turns out to be true, and many experiments are pointing in that direction, then the past can be accessed and, theoretically, changed.
