What is god made of?

And what are those made of?
Like i said it is theorized that they are made up of "strings" of/or vibration.They could also be "fundamental" particles. I really couldn't say more though.

Nothing and everything.
Thats how i describe chaos.

It is as Max Planck said..
"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force..."
And as I said earlier...
"There resides in nature an underlying fundamental force by which all things exist and by which all of existence is animated. I call this The Animating Factor."
Max Planck refered to it as a "conscious and intelligent mind". I feel we can do without the "mystical" connotations though. I consider that force to be naturally existing and I prefer not to call it "consciousness", nor do I believe it is in any way god-like. It is simply a fundamental force or combination of forces that exist in all things and causes those discreet interactions between quantum fields. As matter changes form over time, given the right conditions, those interactions may increase in complexity. This may sound a little quirky, like Star Wars kinda stuff, but as those interactions/forces within matter increase in complexity, that fundamental force or those forces within matter grow stronger and in that way matter itself becomes more animated. That which we call Life or "consciousness" is simply a very highly animated, evolved state of those same interactions that exist in all matter. There is in actuality no "Life" per se, only those forms of matter which appear more animated or more lifelike. Those fundamental forces do not cease however, so there is a possibility that some part of that fundamental force which causes our consciousness or awareness succeeds that change/transformation we call death.
That is in essence what I would consider my own Theory of Everything.

You know I never actually heard of that before, but after briefly looking it up online, the philosophy sounds almost identical to my own. Very interesting. Thanks!

What are waves made of? Or qualia? Or energy?
Which one of these doesn't belong? I do not think qualia independently exist as thing.Beyond that nerochemistry. I have already played the turtle game as far as i am willing to go, if you have a point to make, make it.

I break existence into basic categories.
Spirit.
Substance.
A blend between the two.
God is Spirit.
Unlike the other forces (the items that move substance) God can do so by will.
If we say substance first then all of spirit is a result of the blend....and terminal.
You're good as long as your chemistry holds up.
But I believe the blend was formed to have spirit of unique perspective.
And your linear existence insures that you will be unique as your last hour is pending.
I believe in continuance.
Not much point is generating billions of learning devices only to have each one fail completely and render nothing.
No after life?......not a chance?.....billions to none?
I don't think so.

Spirit is substance and matter is spirit. What you call substance is a holographic projection of the real.

A good description! To the Greeks, chaos was void. Void is absence of definition: a universe without consciousness to separate things from one another. Nothing and everything.

we're all stardust
If a Creator does indeed exist, I guess it'll be safe to presume that it won't be much different from his own creation, i.e. made of the same stuff; 12 Particles of Matter, 4 Forces of Nature

Qualia are not just neurochemistry, if that were true you would have won a nobel prize. They are beyond any scientific definition. Don't assume that things are a certain way when they're really not, and push that assumption onto others.

God is made of other gods
You didn't respond to my point about me not being sure they truly exist. Also what assumptions am I making and how is that any different then what you are doing? Are you making a god of the gaps argument? You can't prove the brain causes everything ergo God?

In the same way that one cannot define or describe what 'sweet' is, without using the word 'sweet' or including things that are sweet (eg... "like chocolate")..... such is God. You cannot describe God. So we just invent a human-style concept of a nice simple, understandable god, who is concerned with worldly mundanities like people not living together unless they have "the right paperwork", and of course, God is now a capitalist and is cool with greed, and 1% of people owning 99% of the resources. <----- it's true! The Big Man is down with that! ....I heard it in a Baptist Church is Missouri!
