O.K; I was walking this morning, and, as usual started thinking, and went a bit "outside the Box"............
This is aimed probably more so - at non-theist as theists..
We all know about the big bang, and strings (well, I say we know about, because I know these theories exist - but haven't the mental capacity to understand them) .
I had a thought, this morning; like I said.
What if God was created at the same time, by the same process, as our universe was created ? The idea being that the "chaos" of the big bang produced "the energy" that was, in fact, God ?
Secondly, take this further.. we theists (at least some of us) believe in a devil..
Whenever something - maybe a "force" like God is crearted, there is an equal and opposite force created at the same time ...The devil ? (sort of along the lines of matter/anti matter). Biblical texts (IMO) are written in such a way as to simplify the understanding of man (at that point in time) about the concept of God.
Imagine these two powerful, opposing "forces" which embodied themselves into "souls" - chips off the wooden block sort of idea.. The original mass being God, and the rest of us being the wood chips ?
Could that scenario tempt any non theists into being prepared, for the first time, to accept the possibility of God?
I am sure I shall be tuna whipped by some theists..but, what the heck..
