Do you believe our universe is part of a greater being (ie. are we to some greater being as cells are to us)?

Question

Everything we perceive is a matter of scale. The world is large to us, but is infinitesimally small compared to the universe. To a bacteria our world is as big as the universe is to us. Therefore is it possible that our universe, though large to us, is just some small part of a greater being? For example, cells comprise the human body. Is our universe a cell of some larger(relative to us) being that is living in its' own universe? I have pondered this since I was young and would love to hear other's thoughts. I have always looked at this as a science question, but a twist on the question, could this larger being be God? There are many ways to interpret, ponder, and attempt to answer this question, and I look froward to hearing other people's thoughts.

Answer 1

It is possible. In that case the size of that object has to be few billion light years tall. No proof that it exists. And no data to deny that. I can throw in one data that may be used to substantiate your idea. That is the expansion of the universe. That is this huge life form is breathing. That is its chest is expanding sucking in the air. That we see here as the universe expanding. Then it is a cycle. When this life breaths out the universe will be sinking. and the cycle continues............. Or analogous to a heart neat .............

Keep on imaging

Answer 2

I too have pondered this since I was young, in fact I still am and still do :).

I believe that , kind of like what you said, the universe being a living cell of a greater being, or God. Another theory of mine is that the universe is actually smaller than it seems, like an illusion, and Heaven is on the outside of the universe. These are abstract thoughts that I as a human feel incapable to comprehend, even if the answer was handed to me. All we need to do is to not worry and ask God when we see him (if you believe in God). I don't think humans were meant to understand. I still am open minded about the idea but I think that we just weren't meant to understand an incomprehendable subject as this until our time comes. But I do find great pleasure in searching for the answer.

Answer 3

What I find interesting about your question is, less the question itself, but more that someone else is asking the same thing I have been asking for some time. When I ask others this same question, I usually get scoffed at. However, I find that the more opened-minded people I talk to, at least turn their head slightly and ponder the idea. We have been relying on religion for centuries to answer the 'after-life' question, but at one time, we thought the world was flat...
It's good to know, though not surprising, to find others who think the same way as myself.

Answer 4

Definitely.You can't go past nature..imagine if you will.Some plants have beneficial,co-existing bacteria and fungi existing as agents of the roots..and enrich and extend the fertility of the soil.This isn't just lupins sweet-peas..others species as well .A spider's web,call it what you like.Does god dig wars,disease,famine,does it torture for fun or relaxation?But you and I both know that 's not the score either.You are right no matter what they tell ya. Another fine mess.

Answer 5

Our entire Universe is just a shoebox on the top shelf of God's closet. And God has an infinite amount of shoes.

Answer 6

replace the scenario with the concepts of St Augustine On Trinity God: e book a million: financial disaster 6.— That the Son is truly God, of an same Substance with the daddy. not purely the daddy, even if the Trinity, is Affirmed to Be Immortal. All issues at the on the spot are not from the daddy on my own, yet also from the Son. That the Holy Spirit is truly God, equivalent with the daddy and the Son. 9. They who've stated that our Lord Jesus Christ isn't God, or not very God, or not with the daddy the only and purely God, or not extremely immortal because changeable, are proved incorrect by using the most undemanding and unanimous voice of divine memories; as, case in factor, “interior the start become the note, and the note become with God, and the note become God.” For that's undemanding that we are to take the note of God to be the purely Son of God, of whom that's afterwards stated, “And the note become made flesh, and dwelt between us,” as with the aid of the that start of His incarnation, which become wrought in time of the Virgin. yet herein is asserted, not purely that he's God, yet also that he's of an same substance with the daddy; because, after declaring, “And the note become God,” that's declared also, “an same become interior the start with God: all issues were made by using Him, and without Him become not something made.” not in simple terms “all issues;” yet purely all issues that were made, that is; the full creature. From which it appears that evidently obviously, that He Himself become not made, by using whom all issues were made. And if He become not made, then he's not a creature; yet when he's not a creature, then he's of an same substance with the daddy. For all substance that isn't God is creature; and all that isn't creature is God. And if the Son isn't of an same substance with the daddy, then he's a substance that become made: and if he's a substance that become made, then all issues were not made by using Him; yet “all issues were made by using Him,” subsequently he's of one and an same substance with the daddy. And so he's not only God, yet also very God. And an same John maximum expressly affirms this in his epistle: “For all of us do not ignore that the Son of God has come, and has given us an expertise, that we would understand the authentic God, and that we will be in His authentic Son Jesus Christ. that is the authentic God, and eternal existence.”

Answer 7

Yes. We all live, move, and have our being within Yahweh (god). He is the source, substance, limits, and bounds of all things. And all things were made in his likeness, after his image. But, there is no alternate Universe outside of him that he is living in. He is the sum total of it all.

Answer 8

Everything we see around us is insufficient to write this answer. Our brains r big but we have to be too small4 the universe otherwise we would have made another universe by now !!!

Answer 9

we're just a load of big smelly fat cells inside of an extremely large living asshole,and it's getting ready for us to be liposucked into oblivion.

Answer 10

It only makes sense that we are part of that which created us, just as the son or daughter is from the parents that were before them......and so on, into infinity. :)
