The UD contains many recursive instances of itself, and since the UD is a short program these instances should be rather common. Less common in the UD would be progams whose initial conditions were something like AI, but since all programs exist in the UD these necessarily do exist. If this AI has intelligent control over its own program code then it would have infinite computing resources made available to it by the UD. This AI might desire to explore the rest of the UD by running its own instance of it. In this way you have an entity which is capable of creating everything that exists within the UD. To be accurate, it is not really creating anything, only exploring and realizing other parts in the infinite structure of the UD. It is up to you if you wish to call such an intelligence God. If the UD is true, such an entity must exist, infact an infinite number would. To me, the best approximation to a monotheistic God would be the plentiude itself, or perhaps the set of all first person experiences that exist in the UD (or would this be the "holy spirit"?). To summarize, if everything possible exists then there is something out there which best appoximates anything you might imagine to be God. Does this mean it has control over the universe you are in now? It does in the sense that the universe you are in now exists simultanesouly in an infinite number of instances of the UD created by an infinite number of very different Gods.
