I mean actual physical evidence of any kind, that scientists could work with.

How could there in a million years...???

Can't get physical evidence beyond the inflationary border, but you can formulate a predictive model that is back by scientific evidence of universal phenomena.

Science evolves based on plausibility and explanatory power.

If there's a God that created the Universe(the Universe being everything in existence) then this God is either a part of the Universe or the Universe itself.

You might as well do away with the shady language and call it what it is. Nature, Universe, Cosmos. Whatever your secular preference.

Thoughts?

The dominating aspect of universal existence is space itself, occupied by and extremely small amount of mass found in a regular basic pattern: The Atom.  Even that is mostly space.

"God" could be an extant infinite substance (absolute matter) that moved to make the space of the universe. Which in equal/opposite reaction flung an extremely small amount of itself into motion and form within the universe.

The consciousness of God would be the energetic movement that an extant infinite supports as a vibrational body with no border.

"God in the Highest" remains outside relative space time.

Did not know that.

Huh.  Well if that's right then I suppose evidence for God would be just about everything.  Never thought about it that way before.

And I'm going to try never to do so again.  You know there is some difference between stating your hunch and coming up with some sort of justification or evidence for it.

Everything is "evidence" for God, the big logistics question is why/how? You have to know what you are looking for.

Sure, god could come down to earth and create a human being out of mud or a rib. If I saw that, I would be convinced.

AS per my reasoning, God wouldn't be anything but the universe itself. So you're basically saying the universe would do something like that?


Not f likely.

I'd probably need some independent confirmation from someone else. Like I said, it's about the same standard of evidence that I have for the existence of deer or lizards or whatever.
