What Happens to Your God After the Extinction of Humans?

[SalixIncendium]

It is likely that, given 5 billion other species or about 99% on earth have gone extinct, humans will eventually go extinct.

If or when this happens, what becomes of your God?


ETA: It would appear the wording in my post has led to confusion. To clarify, by "God concept," I mean your God as you perceive it rather than the concept itself. In other words, what happens to God once humans become extinct? I've since removed the word "concept" to eliminate confusion. Apologies for any confusion or lack of clarity in my OP.

For a concept to exist, someone has to conceive of it.

I used “God concept” to demonstrate the different faces of God in how people perceive it, not to demonstrate the concept in and of itself.

All life will go extinct, it is a consequence of entropy which predicts life for a short period (in universal terms)

Any god concept requires squishy grey matter to be a concept in. With human extinction so god concepts become extinct (assuming by that time the god concept has not previously been forgotten about)

Just a guess: God starts over / reboot.

Even a moonbeam could shatter my concept of God, but I will have existed and it, too. When all things have finished changing and all is still and cold, I think that still you and I will be here having this conversation in this time -- a conversation about God concepts. The conversation appears to begin and end but always is. We were always going to have it and always will have had it. We're like people in a library book.

It is not likely to all go extinct simultaneously. I’m speaking of when humans become extinct and other life still exists.

“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”

I'm sure that will happen.

What happens to all that remains on this earth. Does God just forget about it?

I suppose any concept I may have would go extinct when I did.

Help me to understand how this addresses the question in the OP.

Nothing will change.

As far as we know humans are the only species with a god concept, when they go thoughts of god go.

My wording in the OP may not have been clear. Please see the edit.

 

[SalixIncendium]

I've revised the OP, as my wording may not have been clear as to what I was looking for.

Still just a guess: I think God will make a choice.

God will either alter the laws of nature in order to force another sentient race with free-will to populate the planet, or retain the laws of nature and see if another sentient race with free-will evolves or discovers the Earth while it is still viable.

Will this sentient race be lizard men or squid people?

Hopefully.... Both.

I happen to know that mankind is destined to extinction.
Zephaniah 1:2-3
That was declared a long time ago 7th century BC

Most have stopped believing about God because of the too many
religious establishments which aims to confuse things
or the hardships of life and the increased wickedness becomes the distraction
hence a lot of people failed to know the truth

So what is the meaning of life? Is it death?
What would happen if man face extinction?

I believe those who will face extinction are those who love their lives
Might as well drink and be merry
Because tomorrow we will definitely die.
At least people forget things after a bottle or two
Maybe heroine or meth would do the trick
Which others have used because they see their lives -
pointless, helpless, pathetic and without hope.

But for me - this similar issue were already addressed
and that is why I'm unmoved because I already know that mankind
will face extinction as declared a long time ago.
1 Corinthians 15:12-58
