2. The universe as a whole has more influence than anything else because without it nothing else can exist, because everything is part of it. It is so influential that it necessitates existence itself by definition, assuming that the universe is everything.
3. Therefore the universe itself as a whole is god.
Thoughts?
If the universe has a conscious will of some sort, I can see the distinction. Otherwise, I agree with Rayaan, I don't get it.
