There are other possibilities than God vs. plain-jane physicalism
For example, an elemental particle might be a universe-- THE universe-- Big Banging and contracting a gazillion times a second. That would mean that all reality is a practically infinite view of a single philosophical principle interacting with itself in myrida ways.
Or there could be a duality: mankind creates a universe-creating machine, and the universe unfolds (inevitably) to that moment over and over again forever.
Or each black hole, at its inception, might represent a new Big Bang in a kind of anti-universe, and each black hole in that might be linked to our own Big Bang in a kind of Escher-like co-creation.
I mention these because fuck it, if we're going to start making up bullshit to answer philosophical questions, let's at least have some fun. That's better than a fucking fairytale God who disapprovingly watches teen boys jerk in the shower and commands His followers to cut off the heads of anyone smarter, richer or more educated than they are-- which is almost everybody.
