> dhw; Your God is becoming more and more diffuse. How about this, then, for a “version of God”: ALL THAT IS, consisting of energy and matter, some of which is organic and conscious, and some of which is inorganic and probably without consciousness. Then we really needn't bother about where it all came from, or how and when consciousness arose. After all, if God just is (no known source), then ALL THAT IS just is. But maybe, on second thoughts, we should ditch the word “God”, because so many people associate that with a single, conscious, eternal being which deliberately created ALL THAT IS. - At least you definitely accept that something is eternal and has consciousness. Something with consciousness could then plan our reality, design not chance.
