If you squint really hard, you find some similaitires between the concept of God and the big bang theory.
- I'm the beginning there was nothing except for one thing: an impossibly dense, impossibly hot, and impossibly heavy pile of matter, or God
- Something happened: the pile of matter exploded, or God said "let there be light"
- The universe got created: in God's case, in about a week, or over an unknown length of time as the pile of matter dissipated and chilled into the elements as we know them today.
- The Earth was created, although God created it as his last thing, but it in BBT it popped up somewhere in the middle-ish, I'm guessing, along with life.
Now, this is an "infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters" kind of deal - mathematically speaking, monkeys could write out all of Shakespeare given enough monkeys, and typewriters, and somebody to gather and arrange the output.
Could one monkey do it? Again, yes, but for proper randomness, the chance for this would be something like c/a/b
Where A is the number of keys on a typewriter, and B is the number of letters in Shakespeare-ography. C is the number of monkeys.
Once we reach 1, the idea of typing out Shakespeare-ography is definitely plausible and may have already happened, and above 1 it definitely has happened, were just not sure which monkey did it.
With enough clashing atoms and enough clashing you could, hypothetically, create a living thing. That living thing could then evolve.
But then there's the question of an omnipotent, omnipresent creature of sort that creates universes.
What constitutes as a creature?
By my definition, a creature is something that dies in some form, lives in some form, feeds in some form, and can procreate in some form.
Unlike science, I believe a virus is a living creature, for example, because it attacks the body, multillies, feeds on whatever it attacks and can be killed by an immune system.
Sure, it does these things on autopilot and by sheer luck, but it does happen.
Can God exist by this definition?
- God needs to be able to breed in some form. Doesn't matter how, it can even be mitosis. Can God breed? No scripture has claimed to see God breeding or mating as far as I know. Romans have documented Zeus having sex in various forms, but recreationally. Zeus does not NEED to mate.
- God needs to able to feed. Again, Romans documented gods having feasts, again, recreationally. Roman gods don't NEED to feed.
- God needs to be able to die. Once more, Romans and their gods dying and springing back to life on a nigh daily basis. Gods have died recreationally, and have also lived.
This is as far as I recall anyway.
Roman gods haven't ACTUALLY died, therefore I don't consider them to be creatures. They may or may not have created the world, but they were not living in said world, they don't existed in it.
By my forced studies of the Bible, the old testament also known as the Torah, God has never died, procreated, or eaten anything, not out of a need. Jesus needed to eat, was killed, and could procreate, although he was the son of God, not a God himself. He fits more into a "minor God" category. He did do miracles, but Jesus did not create the universe, God did.
With all this said, can God exist?
I don't know. There's not enough evidence. The old and new testaments end abruptly, the Quran does too, so there's no real closure on the matter.
Roman gods can hypothetically exist, but there's not enough evidence for me to firmly agree on that because as far as I know, they lived, ate, died, and procreated all recreationally. Again, no real need to do so.
To conclude: maybe yes, maybe no. I'll figure that out when I'm dead.
Edit: as to what I think about the bastard? Well, he's been trying to kill me for the past 15 years or so. Not good things.
