The Very Nature of God

sistine-chapel-michelangelo-paintings-6Something to chew on…

“…it seems to me that the very nature of God as God is commonly understood logically removes God from being subject to any kind of rational examination scientifically. The simplest definition is the being/entity/force/whatever that created the universe. As such, God MUST exist outside the universe. If God created the universe, then he is outside the universe and exists separately from it, God is thus not subject to the laws of the universe. We humans exist inside the universe and are creatures of it, we are bound by the laws of the universe and our rational, scientific capabilities can never transcend the laws and boundaries of the universe. IOW, we do not share a common frame of reference with God. We are utterly incapable of proving/disproving the existence of God because all of our scientific tools of “proof” are bound by the same limitations as we are. It is impossible to use the scientific method on something outside the physical laws of the universe (all of this is true for the multiverse as well, the scale is just a wee bit larger).
