God's Aside 2

So… say there is this God who created everything, implying he is responsible for the big bang. So he invented space, time, physics, energy, and all that stuff in one big shebang. As far as we can tell, there is a whole lot of structure and precision involved in this creation. And math! There is a lot of math. A lot of really complicated, beautiful math. And he invented it all. And human life…well, perhaps I shouldn’t get into that. Save that for another day. Yeah. Another day. But he made it all so that we could understand it. Or maybe not, maybe we don’t understand any of it. Perhaps all of physics is just flawed. I was reading a book a while back in which the author, Joao Magueijo, commented, "For all we know the universe is not homogeneous at all, but is a fractal. If this is true, burn this book, forget about Big Bang cosmology, and start crying convulsively." Well perhaps that is it. Perhaps this God is eons above our ability to comprehend and we are just grasping at all the wrong things. Perhaps. But perhaps not.
