As Tracie Harris prompted me to realize a while ago, it may not be possible that anything like a "God" could exist. Just because we can describe it vaguely, that doesn't make it possible. It gives another answer to the God question, not just "I don't know" but "I don't know if that's even possible." So really, the contradictions and problems God could cause, and dillemas about him booting up his own universe are entirely speculative.
I can't understand this dissidence people have where they think God is both completely unknowable, beyond our comprehension, unreachable by science, untestable, outside of anything you try and put him in... Yet they know everything about him down to his inside leg measurement, know all this motives and innermost thoughts and chat to him daily.
Only one explanation I can think of here... You're talking to an imaginary friend. And he's a clone of you, who agrees with you about everything.
I used to have an imaginary friend. But I actually labelled him as and understood him to be imaginary. I was 5.
