Answer 2

As with just about everything else we're told about God, the truth is we don't have any way of knowing for certain whether it is true. When you can't know something for certain because there is an absence of facts and evidence, then the only sensible thing to do is think about it logically. So applying common sense and simple logic to this hypothesis, I would have to ask myself "does it sound likely to be true"? Well in thinking about that question if someone was a very religious person and prayed many times each day (as indeed a lot of people do) then God would be taking 1000 steps closer to them each time they prayed. Turning your back wouldn't make much difference since he'd only take a mere 5 steps away, and you could more than make up for that by one session of prayer. Let's look at it from a broader perspective now. If you prayed often and God took many thousands of steps towards you, he'd be getting closer and closer. Now for all we know he might have started 1000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... steps away, in which case obviously a few thousand steps closer wouldn't make any noticeable difference even over the course of a lifetime, no matter how much you prayed. Likewise 5 steps away every time you turned your back would make so little difference there's no point thinking about it! The next thing to consider is that if God is taking steps closer or further away from you, he must be in a particular physical space. Also he must be moving closer or further from millions of other people all over the world at the same time. Now I don't care how good a dancer God is, I just don't see how he can manage to be constantly taking just the right number of steps towards and away from millions of people all the time. Having said that if he's trillions of light years away from us then those steps would be so small that all it would amount to is him wiggling his feet frantically all the time. Perhaps he just has a nervous twitch in his feet? Now applying common sense to this I would have to conclude that non of it sounds remotely likely and also there is no good reason to believe it's true, so therefore in all probability it is not true.
