I guess the best way to explain it would be to use my own thoughts.
If you want more a more specific definition of what I meant by 'God-like', then I would firstly say a 'creator' of some kind. Not something that 'created' the Earth (We *know* Earth wasn't 'created' as it says in the bible, after all), but something that came 'before' the universe, in a sense. (I'll admit I'm no physicist, and so I'm not clued up on whether we know what existed before the Big Bang or even if the concept of 'before the universe' is possible, so if someone could enlighten me on that I'd much appreciate it!).
If there was a being that existed outside the universe in such a way, there's a good chance we wouldn't recognise it as a being in the traditional sense - I've always been facisnated by the idea of the 'Shadow Biome', which is essentially the concept that there might be a whole other life system on our planet that we simply don't see because we're so set in out ways of what 'life' has to look and act like. This would be similar, and could resemble a deity in that sense.
In other words, I suppose I'm kind of being deliberately vague. My point was that we don't know what lies outside our universe. It could be anything, and I just find that fascinating.
Again, I'll stress that I'm just talking about the *possibility*, but I'm still interested to know what people think!
