WHERE is God?

Answer 1

Everywhere!

Answer 2

God is an idea invented to explain what seemed to require explanation, at a time when people's ability to learn the real reasons were insufficiently developed. God exists in your mind; he does not exist in the world.

On the other hand, maybe God is where life is going, or at least where it is supposed to be going. Look at how nature has brought forth a progression of emergent properties, each layer on top of a simpler set of properties...

In the beginning there was a quantum fluctuation with enough energy to fall behind an event horizon of its own making. Once it was contained in its own spacetime pocket, the energy could no longer disperse back to where it came from because the event horizon (the beginning of time) was in the way. The big bang wasn't "a bomb" that God set off; it was just the original energy that happened to gather as a quantum statistical anomaly.

Seeking a return to a thermodynamically more probable, or higher entropy, distribution, some of the energy changed state and became space. This was the cause of the inflationary period right after the "big bang." Most of the remaining energy, which consisted of quanta having more than 1 MeV, changed state in a different way, becoming the elementary particles we call quarks and leptons.

(I think it's possible that the two changes of state, energy to space and energy to matter, are related. It simplifies the physics a lot if the universe has equal amounts of positive and negative (potential) energy. There might be some kind of symmetry going on where only that amount of space required by the matter and the motion of the matter came into existence during the inflation period. Or vice versa.)

Anyway, no sooner did the quarks appear than they began to associate with each other, clicking together by pairs to form mesons and by triplets to form hadrons. It fortunately turned out that the kind of hadrons that appeared in our universe included useful ones: protons and neutrons.

So a very early instance of evolution bringing forth a new and higher scale of properties happened when quarks formed hadrons. And then the protons and neutrons began finding each other to form deuterium, tritium and helium. And there were density inhomogeneities that gave gravity something to pull on, and the hydrogen clouds collapsed into protogalaxies, then into stars. Inside stars, further nuclear synthesis took place, which eventually turned out all the other elements into space from supernova explosions.

Once these other elements were in the universe, molecular chemistry became possible, with planets becoming nature's laboratories par excellance. Again and again, simpler properties combined in new ways to create a new and more complex array of properties, and at some point those properties included life.

Life continued the trend whereby matter continually brought forth emergent properties: cilia became fins, then legs. Sexual reproduction was an emergent property, prior to which all changes in living forms had to come from mutations. Sex speeded up the process of genetic diversity, which gave nature a way to throw the diverse into mutual competition, with survival going to the fittest.

So, where is God? He may be in the future. He might be what life is aiming for. Maybe a prokaryote cell is to a man as a man is to a god. Widely separated points on the same evolutionary spectrum.

There is a religion called Cosmotheism, which is based on the idea that the "creator" is the metaproperty of matter by which properties of lower order combine to make possible new properties of a higher order. Some Cosmotheists assert that this creative process is a godlike mind, while others say that no consciousness was involved in this business until it manifested in living things. Either way, however, the goal of life is godhood, according to the faithful of this religion.

Answer 3

In the collective conscious of the human mind. "God" is a word that helps most people get through their day. Have you ever looked up faith in the dictionary? Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. If God would actually come down here, shake my hand, move a few mountains around and perform some other "miracles" and whatnot, I'll believe. Until then, ain't buying it.

Answer 4

There is no god it is just some thing people believe. It is not real, look a round at all the bad things in the world and see that we the people are doing this in the name of religion.

Answer 5

As nature evolves so does "God". For once it was called the gods from the Olympus and others. Then it became "God", now... as we evolve, many have found out that maybe there is none just because we lack the new words to call him by.

Let technology evolve past us and then, maybe then, we can believe in something holier than us.

Or maybe i´ts just technology. Since we where destined to evolve and find technology as our universe discovery partner.

Answer 6

He is:

above you & omnipresent as God in Heaven
up in heaven pleading your case with the Father as Jesus Christ
in your fellow man as the Holy Spirit

that's how I like to think of it ;)

Answer 7

Deutteronomy 4:39 "Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else."

Answer 8

god is everywhere. he is in nature, he is in humanity. you think that you can't see him or that hes not always listening, but he is. and you have to look to the world for signs from him when you need him. he is there, you just have to pay close attention to notice.

he also transcends space and time so it really is possible for him to be everywhere at every moment.

Answer 9

The Kingdom of God is within you. Namaste, I hope this helps!

Answer 10

God is at this moment he is Watching over all of us ! Thats what he is doing!

Answer 11

Everywhere but government buildings. The ACLU kicked him out.
