What is a god?

I thought you were up to something

Mayyyyyyyybe

So, intelligent you say? This "force", in the absence of a brain, is intelligent? What does intelligence even mean to this force? Before the universe there is nothing to know. How is its intelligence measured when all it can "know" is itself? Or is it intelligent in the sense that it can come up with abstract concepts and plan out an entire system from them? (As in, can conceptualize something such as "energy", "time", etc and can make a "stable" universe from these things?)

I've been discussing 'other dimensions' in another thread. We can't imagine what these other dimensions could be like as we are three dimensional. So this being to me (and I may be way off mark) must in some way be 'part of' the universe, if the universe 'sprang' from it, but would necessarily be 'greater' maybe comprised of many dimensions, or different type of matter to ourselves. Maybe there is a kind of matter that does not decay, and vibrates and shimmers very beautifully and is 'endless' is some sense (just as time or parallel universes may be endless). Gosh this is getting hard. Anyway, it wouldn't have a brain like ours as it wouldn't be comprised of the elements that decay and that are finite and fixed for a set period of time. We are blips in the universe, like the sub atomic particles, we appear briefly and then disappear. So in a sense it must be energy, time, space- oh dear I seem to be straying into pantheism now.[b]

Benevolence? This force has the desire to do good before there is anything to do good to? What is "good" before the universe? There is nothing for this force to interact with, nothing for it to act kindly towards. Is the force good natured in preparation for the creatures it will soon create? If it feels a desire to be good, does it experience emotion? Where does this emotion come from when this force lacks a brain or the appropriate nervous system to process emotion? How can a force be subject to something which is a trait of animal evolution?

You see what I'm doing? Please reply

Good is part of the universe already. Everything works for the good of the organism, in some sense. This force contains everything: good, bad, order, chaos, etc. All possibilities. If there are infinite universes, maybe this being has always been 'creating' so it's not like it suddenly got bored one trillenium ago and thought I'll start making stuff.
Our human perspective is limited as we only operate in three dimensions. We don't know what is possible if other dimensions exist. How's that for now.[/b]
