I will say in what I believe and you will say in what spectrum I'm because I can't figure it out:
I think that
neither a god neither a phenomenon like the big bang nor another another form of cyclic process
can explain the origin of everything, simple because
in order to god to exist he had to have one origin and thus
this origin would be the real origin of everything, this concept
also applies to the big bang or another form of cyclic phenomenon (the cyclic process also had to be an origin where it started).
It is much easier to realize that at the start of everything there was nothing, the nothingness have no origin as it is nothing, it needs no creator,
is the only thing that can be the real origin of the rest that exist by elimination thinking.
So yes this universe have its origin in magic and it have a god which is the nothing which can popo out existence and basically create everything
.
Interesting post, I'll give you my thoughts.
God is everything, but more truly than that he is nothing, non-being, the all consuming void of potentially. He is the absence of matter(yet at the same time is matter), the thing you think about when you try desperately to grasp at the counterintuitive proposition which is the absence of perception, the kind of nothingness so complete that there isn't even an infinite black. Everything is God, but at the same time his true nature is that of undivided perpetuity, beyond measure because he spans the entire breadth of reality. He is the antithesis of matter, time, and ultimately, division.
For something to exist, truly exist, it requires perpetuity. I mean consider it, if all that separates one from existence and nonexistence is time, then with a fast enough perception of it, you would never have existed at all, more or less. Meaning that you don't exist right now, you simply can't, that's without even getting into modern neuroscience. So ironically, as far as I can tell, the true nature of everything is nothingness.
However what I'm much less certain of is why anything came into "existence" at all. I find the demiurge to be an attractive explanation, but I can't help wondering whether or not this is simply a hyperbole for the nature of the material, or of our lives themselves. The futility of illusory pleasures, the state of constantly being unsatisfied, the necessary autocannibalism of life, etc. Whether or not there is a will behind the process, to me, biological life is my own demiurge.
even if there is a god, it might as well not exist
Very accurate.
