Since my last post, there has been continuing evolution of data and thought regarding the multiverse theory, which provides a basis for God which is grounded in physical science reality, as opposed to magical mysticism. Link to the Part 1 of a 2 part review of current status of multiverse theory is shown below. First, I'll provide an executive summary of my own hypothesis, relating the multiverse theory to the general topic of theism, which has received much thoughtful commentary, earlier on this thread:
In a multiverse containing an infinite number of universes, it's inevitable that one or more of these universes will be comprised of exotic energy states, which self organize into sentience.
The human brain is simply "wired" bioelectric energy, organized into sentience. The human brain is the size of a loaf of bread. Imagine the power of an organized wireless sentience on the scope of an entire universe. If this sounds fanciful, read the story below and Google "Boltzmann Brain." It provides a "model" for God which is not only plausible, but actually inevitable, if the multiverse does exist, and which doesn't depend on supernatural magic.
Doctrinal religions may be the equivalent of radio frequencies, which allow different individuals, living in different times, places, and circumstances, to establish communication channels to a sentient power existing on the scale of a universe. What's important is not the dogmas and doctrines themselves, which are most probably human constructs, but that these dogmas and doctrines provide frameworks for facilitating communication between minuscule packets of sentient energy (humans) and sentient energy on an unimaginable scale (God).
