What reason(s) do we have to believe that the God of planet earth is the same God in other galaxies?

Question

If we accept that the universe is vast -as scientists claim-(although no one has gone out there that far and came back with physical proofs), what pausible reasons can "believers' have to think that He who created this miniscule earth is the creator of other vast galaxies in the universe?
The scenario here is that of a man who had never been to Timbuctu and yet "believes' that his "God' is the same "God' that Timbuctans believes in...
What i know is that unless and until universe's other inhabitants come to tell us about their "God" or "gods", we might find ourselves worshipping a different God altogether!
Sounds silly...chew it slowly.

Answer 1

There are no reasons to assume this.

Unless you are confused enough to see the universe as existing somehow separate, and extrenal to God.

A few of the more backward religious belief systems still see God as being somehow separate from creation, but these silly old ideas are becoming rare.

God is not in the universe She is the universe.

She created the universe from the only thing that She had available, Herself. There is no point where God stops and something else starts.

You and the most distant star from you in the universe both exist within the idea of God. God is experiencing through all of us all of the time.

This is a difficult concept for most people to comprehend because they have been taught nonsense about God. Like the idea that God lives far away on a cloud called heaven. God is not a raindrop. Raindrops live in clouds Not God. This is foolishness.

Jesus told us that the kingdom of God is within us. This is true because each and every one of us exist as a part of God. We live and move within our loving source. There is no moment or possibility that we can ever be apart from her.

Forget the silly stories that you have been told about a distant God that lives in the clouds. Look around you. Everything and everyone that you see is God.

Love and blessings.

Answer 2

If a person is a monotheist, they necessarily believe it is the same God all over the universe. Of course, they must then admit that other beings, just like other cultures here on earth, are bound to have different ideas of God and different symbols and rituals.

Here's another instance where we polytheists have an advantage. We do not need to believe the same gods and goddesses we know are recognized in other places. We know, when we think about it, that these archetypal images are mere symbols of a reality too abstract to connect to the human experience. A Hindu does not "worship" a statue of Ganesha, for example, but uses that statue as a focus of meditation on the characteristics attributed to Ganesha (notably an ability to cut through the BS and deal with the meat of a question) which are what is needed in a given situation.

Similarly, the Catholics have a variety of saints to which they can refer for this sort of specific focus, but they do not call them separate gods and goddesses. That doesn't matter: we all know the symbols represent Something that would be way too overwhelming if confronted directly.

In Quran it is apparent that this is not the only universe.

[1:1] In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful’, ‘Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.’

** Not world but Worlds

[2:29] (God) is the One Who created for you all that is on the earth. Moreover He turned to the heaven and fashioned seven heavens with harmony. He is full of Knowledge of all things

[23:17] And We have made, above you, seven tracts. We have never been unmindful of the Creation

[67:3] (God) is the One Who created seven heavens one above another. Thou can see no fault in the creation of the Beneficent. Turn the vision again! Can thou see any flaw?

[71:15-16] Did you see how God created seven heavens one above another and made the moon a light therein and made the sun a lamp?

An interesting fact that God called Moon the 'Light' and sun the 'Lamp' which produces the light something scientist just recently figured out.

Little did they know that it was already explained 1400 years ago :-D

Answer 4

The answer is really quite simple because there can only be one God who by definition is The God of All. Webster's definition of God is all powerful , all, knowing, Supreme being etc. So if there is a God of "little" earth and a God of the vast universe , since God by definition is all powerful, One of the gods would have to be more powerful than the other. Therefore the one who was less powerful would not be god because he is not ALL powerful.

Answer 5

There are ancient texts that speak of the things you wish to know. You must read them with an open mind. By doing this you understand that God has been reaching out towards us for a lot longer than we realize. That different cultures interpreted his love in different ways, then all of a sudden you realize that there has been a fight between the Light and Dark for a long time. Put the whole picture in perspective.

Answer 6

Interesting, because god is not some white bearded omnicient being who only looks after humans on this earth. The true god is the life force that permeates all living things throughout the universe, and, as such, does not answer prayers nor encourages any one religion nor authors books to bring people to one belief or another. God does not preach nor proselytize. God simply is.

Answer 7

Genesis1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Answer 8

You can see things with telescopes. There is physical proof. We have gone to places that we can see, and sent probes to others. What kind of delusion are you under?

And I am sure that beings on other planets imagine different gods than the ones here.

Answer 10

Unless you are a mormon and believe that people can someday be gods of their own planets, most religious people believe that God is the God of all creation. We would be worshiping the same God because it was the same God who created every planet. Virtually every religion's creation story includes the stars and the sky.
