To me, god is a non-answer. Where did god come from?
The problem is solved once and for all when we cease this ridiculous
game of imagining God to be a being or an entity. God is not a being
or an entity. God is a concept. God is:
Everything we know
Everything we know that we know
Everything we do not know
Everything we suspect we do not know
Everything we cannot possibly know (due to the limitations of
hominid brains/minds)
Everything that was, is or will be
In short, God is - wait for it:
The Everything. The Everything cannot possibly have a name nor an
identity.
I can agree with this, with the open mind if that everything is a
person or not, has a will or not, reflects itself in itself or not, etc.
It is truth which attracts us, although in some state of mind we can
fear that too. It is mainly an unknown, even if computationalism
simplifies the picture conceptually, because ontologically the
"everything" can be only 0, s(0), s(s(0)), etc. (or K, S, KK, KS,
SK, ...). The rest are infinities of dreams which recovers, or not, in
the transfinite (which exists from the inside or internal relative
view).
Like God, or Sense, Everything is still a word. It does not tell us
what it is, nor where that comes from.
The comparison/identification between God, Everything, is interesting
only as far as it helps us also to better understand the theologian,
and the mystical or altered mind state reports. In this case perhaps
everything is more like the NOùS. In Plotinus (and comp through the
lexicon) the noùs is still an emanation of something simpler, the one.
But that is just some nuance. The only God who has clearly a will, is
the Universal Soul, the third hypostase, which is also the universal
person (in Heaven, I think, with []p & p, and on earth, With []p & p &
<>t (I would say)).
