God

  Which one? The Hindu / Buddhist / Sufi Islamist philosophy of everyone being connected and being reborn / recycled comes pretty close to the scientific postulation that "energy is constant and can neither be created nor destroyed but only converted from one form to another". So when we die, our energy conserved in our body becomes something else. The caveat of the first law of thermodynamic is that all this happens only "in a closed system". So is God within this system, a part of the system and part of the energy in this system (which would mean that when we attain Moksha / Nirvana and escape the cycle of rebirth / reconversion, we become a part of God)?. Or is God outside this system?

  The conclusion of her article: "So if you read yet another headline about some physicist who thinks our universe could have begun this way or that way, you should really read this as a creation myth written in the language of mathematics. It’s not wrong, but it isn’t scientific either. The Big Bang is the simplest explanation we know, and that is probably wrong, and that’s it. That’s all that science can tell us."

    “That’s all that science can tell us.” Currently perhaps. There’s a ton of big brains out there and even more yet to be born.

  Right. And since we created God, we're The Masters of the Universe. Cue He-Man music.
