God's plan, the true scientist

i think that God is in all of us and yes that includes evil and righteous people. The reason for this is because i think this universe is an experiment for God. I have a feeling it all started one day when God became conscious. God may have realized that He/She (God probably does not have a gender but is an entity, however, i will use He to save time on my behalf. sorry for being selfish) was all powerful and He decided to right laws that were perfect. This became the word of God of course. God wrote these laws in order to have a standard for a perfect person and be able to compare every individual to this standard. In a way this is like in a scientific experiment like when an experimenter sets a control in order to compare his/her results. Anyways when he finally decided to make this universe he made it so that a human being can be tested on every level. That explains why there are so many harsh and cruel things in the universe, but at the same time there are probably equal amount of good things as well. (unfortunately the way the world is now there is a lot more evil present than good). Everything in this universe seems to be a test for a human being. This means that every human is a son/ daughter of God. I think God first created this universe so that it is so complex that humans could never figure out there is a God unless they have faith or believe because there is no physical evidence so to speak. Anyways i think God (since he is probably infinite) took chunks of his energy or life force and put them in human beings (aka our souls). This would explain how Jesus was able to do miracles. Since Jesus believed in God with an incredible amount of faith (not faith in the sense that Jesus believed God was real, but that God can manipulate anything in this universe and that God will be there for His children) and was able to perform miracles, which was meant to open people's eyes (in a way God allowed Jesus to perform miracles because he was doing them selflessly) to how God truly works. Maybe our soul activates the link between humans and God in order for us to perform miracles or open people's hearts, etc... as long as humans have pure faith or faith the size of a mustard seed. Maybe when the link between God and our souls are connected, then the Holy Spirit is able to enter the human body (perform miracles). This would explain why Jesus was able to walk on water or one of his infamous quotes (if you pray hard enough you can movie a mountain into the water(ocean)). Anyways so God talks about the book of life. This book is probably covered with names of people who try to follow God's word with all his/her might. This would explain why when Jesus talks about in the end there will not be a letter or even a mark of a letter of God's word, but this only occurs in the end. So after God finally judges every human being and yes Jesus probably is judged too, then God makes the universe disappear and all the souls who made the book of life rejoin God while the other souls are not worthy to rejoin God and disappear with the universe. Well, that's my spiel on what God might have planned for human souls. (This might explain why God never physically enters this universe because he might not want to interfere with his experiment since if people saw God then they would be forced to believe and not believe because of pure faith.) It's kinda funny that we are all an experiment, well if my theory is correct that is. I would love to hear people's responses please.

Greetings

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to share your beliefs with me. I'm a keen learner of what people think on the topic of religion and so it's nice to hear and try and understand what you believe :)

Are you a christian by the way? May sound like an obvious question but your post seems to conform with a great deal of christian beliefs...

...But what do you think about the omnimax properties of God? By which I mean, omnibenevolent, omnipotent, omniscience etc. If God is even mortally benevolent, creating us as test subjects and trying out brand new experiments on us doesn't sound very nice to me. Also, if God is omniscient, why would he need to do this experiment, as the objective of an experiment is to find out things which are unknown or require proof. As God would know these results in the first place, why bother?

If you just change the names of the characters and add some more flowery language, you'll have the basis for a pretty decent new cult/religion.

Obviously, it's based on Christianity, but it's alright - Christianity heavily borrowed from its predecessors as well and nobody even remembers anymore.

I'd suggest "Godology", "Scientonomy" or somesuch. I hear it's a great way to money and power, as well as influence and control countless generations of people.
