Okay, the discussion is possible ways a "god" could be possible. "God and your Brain" discusses other possibilities.
This possibility is that a higher being, created the laws of the universe. Opposite charges attract, interact, gravity, chemical interaction, etc. Then he kicked it off going. Lets call it the "Big Bang" for now. Then everything else in the universe is just going along with the laws of the Universe set forth at the begining. God doesn't interact with the model that he created, he just created it. Comets collide, suns and moons spin, chemicals churn and create different patterns like crystals and amino acids. strands of chemicals form more of themselves, replicating patterns emerge, and eventually, these replicating chemical reactions act on their environment, and eventually act to try and replicate themselves (survival) and the begining of sentience in life. All the while it is just chemical reactions following the laws of physics placed by the God setting the controls. Some things survive, others alter their environment, injustice happens, some life consumes other life, the world turns and everything keeps going on. Read More »
