Hello, My first post here

[Jack Johnson]

I'm new here, this is my first and possibly last post on this website. Before you judge me as a troll or other riff-raff, i only ask that you read my message through to the end.
What is god? The definition of God: "God is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of the universe. Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many different conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence."
Is then, a Microbiologist not a god?
Is he not the beginning and the end, the very lord, of the bacteria in his petri dish? He who placed their Adam and Eve, he that gave them nourishment and prosperity, not a God?
We cannot see the lord, we cannot touch him, smell him, feel him. Yet we know he exists because of all that is around us, the domain he created for us. We are infintesimally small before him, his knowledge and powers extend so far beyond our grasp we cannot begin to fathom his might. Without him we would cease to be, he is the one ultimate provider. Our concrete, solid earth is nothing before him, it is only through his will that we are here, and if we do not meet his desires, he can end us as easily as he began.
My brothers and sisters of humanity, is it not possible that god himself is a scientist? Ofcourse I'm not implying some nihlistic idea that we are just microorganisms in a petri dish, what I'm trying to say is that what if god is an "Alien"? A being whos race may have very well existed since the dawn of time itself, who used its immense powers and knowledge to create the earth a perfect paradise for its beloved children, and guided our evolution for the same reasons described in the bible.
I won't pretend im the first to come up with this idea, many of you have already heard theories about the Ark of the Covenant being radioactive (or an elctrical capacitor), moses' unnatural glow/white hair after returning from mount sinai and a chat with god, and on a personal note 1 Kings 18: 38 sounds alot like a plasma weapon. However my theory has credibility, especially when you consider some of the odd gaps in the theory of evolution.
On one last note (I'm sorry for the grammar, jotting all of this down in my personal notepad at 2 AM and I'm very tired), theres no physical evidence because god is all powerful, due to the technology level required for my hypothesis. Believing in jesus/god/the bible already means taking a leap of faith and leaving behind common sense, nd my theory not only meshes god with current scientific ideas in a way that, at least to me, makes more sense than most others. Thank you for reading if you still are and if you decide to ban me from the website please consider leaving my post, at the very least for the ponderings of future christians, many thanks and goodnight. *yawn*

Interesting point. I shall try and dissect your argument as best I understand it.

Firstly, you ask, cannot a microbiologist be a God? I suppose for the bacteria in his dish, yes, but he fails to possess all the traits you define of God. For one, he does not have an eternal existence.

Secondly, perhaps God is a scientist; perhaps He is an alien. The word "God" is simply that.... a word. A humanly derived word that is used to identify "a supernatural creator and overseer of the universe.... [that has] omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence." The word, or what we name Him, is simply a formality. If you desire to think of Him as an alien or a scientist you have every right to do so (I think He's a giant thug daddy gangsta in the sky... seriously lol. Ever listened to some Christian rap and hip hop hahaha!) Anyway, what matters is that you acknowledge His character and His attributes. However you best understand that is up to you.

He may very well have created the universe with a 'Big Bang'... we don't know. We will never know on this earth. But what's important is having a relationship with Him and submitting to His grace and love, and praying that He will reveal Himself to us so that we truly can "see" him and "know" Him personally.

Hope this helps!
