God is the painter. He must have a world in which he can derive inspiration. If not a universe what would he paint? Without us he is alone. Always has been up until 14 billion years ago when he finally though up the idea of a universe. Until then he lived in complete darkness. There was never a universe before ours started 14 billion years ago. God sat by himself, in darkness, for all eternity. And the darkness that he sat in has an edge? God can only go so far?
Simply because you or the scientific community lack a complete understanding of something does not imply a theistic explanation carries any value. Even if there exists some topic on which science can never speak, any understanding could potentially evade us forever – supernatural or metaphysical speculation would not automatically be correct. Uncertainty is the most
legitimate position.
Using ‘god’ to explain something explains nothing. God’s supposed powers and how they work are a mystery. An explanation is intended to clarify and extend knowledge. Attributing a phenomenon to the magical powers of a supernatural being does neither. Worse still, this presumption acts to prevent any deeper investigation, being little more than a form of blissful ignorance.
