I believe in the one god of CTM and its (X & Z) logically derived string theory that is omnipotent (contains and carries out the laws of physics), omniscient (instantly senses the entire universe), and omnipresent (is distributed throughout the universe), but not necessarily omnibenevolent, that sustains one physical universe while knowing (computing) all possible universes.
