From the religious perspective, would that explain his absence?

An even better question: could god create a 'better' god?

No. Creation is contingent and God is the only non-contingent being. Creation and God are two opposites. Since God is Uncreated already, how could He uncreate Himself? As the Creator, that which is created is other than Himself.
He is certainly not absent. The entire universe is created and sustained by His Will. Were He to be absent for one moment, everything that exists would instantly cease to be.
Furthermore, God has continually interacted with humanity through a series of divine revelations. To every part of the world He has sent prophets, messengers, seers, avatars. He has been progressively revealing His Will to humanity.

I think it will happen eventually. First up would be the destruction of matter- the Big Crunch. Then the life-energy that makes up The One will re-merge back with the nothing. Thus a cycle. I guess it's a little like sleep.

Believe it or not GOD cannot do all things.. It is impossible for God to sin. It is impossible for God to dwell in unclean places. God has always been and always will be. Therefore NO GOD cannot "uncreate" himself.

Depend on what God perspective you are talking about… if you are talking about God in Judaism, Christian, and Islam the answer is no.
But if you are talking about God and Goddess in Hindu and Buddha the answer is yes.

Without ripping a hole in the space time continuum and breaking the laws of physics, causing life as we know it to blast into oblivion?
Nah.

Titus 3:9
9 But avoid foolish questions, and contentions, and striving for they are unprofitable and vain.

His absense?? What do you mean? We can't see god, nor sense is he is "absent" or not.
He couldn't do anything he wanted to, even if he wanted to uncreate himself but he wouldn't even uncreate himself if he wanted to. There's still the Day of Judgement, remember?
Cheers!

well, if God were a man he could, but what if God is a woman? Would your answer change?
