Re: Living Universe?
Now, is God the total sum of all exsistence and nothing more (Spinoza, Atman, Scientific Pantheism) He, it, whatever is worthy of worship and is holy simply because of it's exsistence? If so, isn't the notion of the seperation of sacred and profane is a human imposition onto an entirely sacred exsistence. God is that thing which is simultaneously completely contradictory and utterly self-consistent. Ahh - the holy paradox of existence itself.
Or - alternatively, is God the universe-plus? More than the sum of it's, his, parts. Many modern Christian theologians (Crossan, et al) subscribe to this kind of theory. Certaintly easier to buy than a big bearded fella in hyperspace somewhere. Just as humans are really just animated bags of meat, and yet more - God is protons and neutrons and antimatter, and yet more. The creative responsive force for love. Whoa, my mind is blown.
Good story on this point, which I can't remember the name of, involves a computer named AC. Written by Isaac Asimov. Involves heat death of the universe, good stuff. Well, not really, but it does sort involve "God".
