Before there was any "thing" there was the "way". It is interesting to me to note how the ideas of the daoists resemble those of the the greeks and the stoics and how these ideas became part of the judean religious concept and morphed into early christianity. The definite transition from an anthropomorphic pan theism to a monotheism to a living but undefinable spirit or fire thar everything in the entire universe is created by and is part of is illuminating. myth and religion and philosophy are related endeavours, and they should be studied and understood. to only pop out some small chestnuts may be fun but the question only seems to have depth. Try reading the writings of Marcus Aurilius and see if you can get your head around that guy's world view

I don't think so.
But I do know God's name.
In the early biblical scrolls the tetragramatation(four hebrew characters that existed where GOD now is in the bible) was everywhere. Those four characters were literally translated YHWH (there are no vowels in Hebrew) and spoken Yahweh.
Yahweh translated into English is Jehovah.
The churches and modern translations have taken this name out of the bible and replaced it with God or LORD. So wherever you see GOD or LORD in the bible is where God's actuall name JEHOVAH should be. It means 'causes to become'. Wonderful isn't it?
Psalms 83:18
You ,who's name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth.

That's an interesting question, however it's obvious that no one could give a definitive answer to it since by definition it is unknowable. In my opinion the answer would be "no" because God is greater than his creation just like an artist is greater than his artwork.

The Universe is the creation.
God the creator.
Saying the universe is God is like saying: the omlet is the cook or you are your parents.
Sorry, that probably isn't the answer you wanted, but it is MY truth.

Not that I know of...because in my book there doesn't have to be a god for there to be a universe!

No, the universe actually exists. It wasn't made up by humans.

Yes.
Universe means (all) versed in one.
But rather than unknowable, this is incomprehensible.

Bishop Berkley thought something similar to this a few hundred years ago.
