We have a giant task, luckily an eternity in which to accomplish it. C'mon folks let's all get together and build a better God!
Droogie's opinion No. 37
DROOGIE DISCLAIMER: Hello, folks, it's called literary license and I might be expected to use a bit of it every so often. Also, I like making spitballs with my mind, so I may feel something is true one day, and the next I might disagree with myself. The following rant should have no real connection with anything living, dead or otherwise, unless it works for you better that way, or unless I think it should:
There is no God … yet.
The only chance for us to get God is for the universe,
ourselves included, to evolve God.
God either will or will not
exist based upon the outcome of a universal evolution that is going on all
around us. The evolution of God relies upon an infinitely complex universal
sort of “natural selection.”
The universe exists, as opposed to nothing. This suggests
that the ultimate end of the universe will be achieved, is being achieved, and
already was achieved. In all probability, God will evolve from
the universe and then create the universe in the past as a means to God’s own
evolution.
God creates the universe which evolves God; God creates the
thing that creates God. This explains God’s reputation as Eternal. It also
explains God’s apparent absence from the universe around us. It also explains a
universal human instinctual certainty that “good” triumphs, and the ultimate
end of everything as predetermined.
God evolves, creates, evolves – God revolves in an unending
cycle as the universe similarly evolves, is created, evolves, is created –
perpetually. However, inherent within this system is the distinct, though
infinitesimal, mathematical probability that this is the first time
around.
For our purposes, it makes sense to assume that God’s
ultimate evolution is not a fait accompli.
The universe exists as an attempt to evolve God, or not.
Thus everything – stars, salt, mud, us, whales, Jesus, Zeus, the laws of
physics, gravity, math – either works toward or against the ultimate end of the
universe, the evolution of God.
All we can ultimately do is come down on the side of helping
to evolve God, or not.
What if God was one of us?
