Sorry, but your answer still assumes the existence of a super-natural being (aka God) who doesn't have a causal mechanism. So - if you were to ask God, what is the reason for his existence, or the mechanism for it, what would you ponder the answer would be? Also: Einstein didn't 'ponder' the existence of the 4th dimension - he proved that it exists in a manner in which it was counter intuitive to what we thought it was. There is no 'static' concept of time - it's a relative concept, so the computational mechanics that's being used to create the universe doesn't have a 'highly parallel' processor that Newton thought it had. And from experience: the universe we live in definitely has more than 5 dimensions (there are parallel branches which don't mimic ours). My big questions to you is: what mechanism created God? How do you explain Him?

I do not know.

Perfect! Neither do I. Now, let's sit down and try to program the laws ourselves :)

I like your probing. I think it is going to take a variety of viewpoints for you to begin to arrive where you want to be. Which is great - it’s a path as good as any. Some are born and are told and are happy with that. Others question, and may end up somewhere entirely different from where they thought they were going...nonetheless becoming who and where they need to be. I fall into the second camp.

My view is only one viewpoint, and it is like a little painting I’m working on as I progress through life. I’ve shown a part of it to you, and it has some elements that may be imperfect. I think no matter what I do, there will always be those axioms and initial conditions which you (or I, or anyone) can question. When will the painting be finished? When it is perfect, or when it is beautiful? It may never be finished by me or anyone in this life. But we’re working on it. I think that’s saying something for us and life in general.

You’re ambitious, which is great. You’re respectful, even greater. I do, however, believe it is beyond my individual right and ability to attempt to provide an explanation for God, such as the causality of God’s existence. I do not know if such a thing can even be known, at least in the sense you seem to seek.

I feel God in my life, as real as the sun, grass, and breeze, but this feeling is always just beyond my complete and total understanding.

Honestly, I think love is the answer. I also think more will be revealed, my friend.

Thanks for the kind and insightful words my friend - and yes, I think that your viewpoint is great. You've got to enjoy life - either way or whichever truth comes forward I think will always have an incredible element of beauty in it, so the only thing that really matters is enjoying the process and doing the things we love to do. Thanks again for the feedback and all the best to you :)
