OK, so I have a bunch of essays to write surrounding all of this Proof of God business, but they all lead to one inescapable conclusion. So I decided that instead of tormenting you while I stepped through the logic, I would just work it all out first, skip to the end, and present the conclusion first and all the rest later. I want to be able to work forwards towards goals based upon this conclusion and also work backwards to support and expand upon this conclusion. I don’t like to be constrained.

So here goes...

God is life super evolved into the perfect living being. Thus, since we are alive, we are a “devolved” form of God. All life is God because God is simply life evolved over innumerable eons.

How do I know this? Simple logic and reasoning. Earth has a deplorable track record when it comes to supporting individual living species, but it has a phenomenal, 4 billion year plus, track record of supporting life of EVER INCREASING COMPLEXITY. That last part is key. We have gone from single-celled organisms to sentient life in the span of just a few billion years. Life just keeps getting more sophisticated and complex despite what the “laws” of thermodynamics tell us, which is that everything should be descending into chaos. Life is the wild card. Thus, if we continue down the path of evolution, and we have ZERO scientific evidence to the contrary, then the logical conclusion is that life continues to get more complex and more sophisticated until it approaches perfection; God.

This has such a ton of crazy implications that I can only address a couple of the most important ones here, the ones that do not require much, if any, speculation but are instead blatantly obvious if we accept this conclusion as correct; and it is correct. It is as obvious and plain as the nose on your face. Except maybe for MJ.

Anyway, the first obvious conclusion is in regards to good and evil, or perhaps more correctly referred to as right and wrong. Think of right and wrong in this way… Since there is God and since God evolved over innumerable eons, then there is the evolutionary path to God and many evolutionary paths to “not God”. One path is the correct path, “right”, “good” and the other path is the wrong path, “wrong”, “evil”. Thus, it stands to reason that since we have free will and all that, choices that we make now affect whether we are the life that eventually goes on to evolve into God or it is some other life. And since there are probably many, many steps in between us and “God” on the evolutionary chain, then it further stands to reason that society is quite different on the evolutionary path towards God than what we have today. Hence, choices we make about society and the world today affect our own society as well as future societies, our “future selves”, if you will. The quicker we figure out and enact the “right” path toward this future society that eventually leads to “God”, the faster our entire world and society will be better off both now and in the future.

And just one more little gem that I can’t resist throwing in here even though it leads to rampant speculation. The key to life is balance. We know this because that’s the only reason we are alive, being balanced on the knife’s edge of that “perfect circle” and all. And if time is relative; we know this because this has been proven. And if the universe as a whole can expand and contract; we know this because, again, this has been proven for all intents and purposes. In fact, the universe’s expansion is apparently accelerating. Then, if we all lived according to “God’s plan”, the evolutionary path to God, would it not make sense that time would effectively end?

Think of time as the “balancing” that goes on in order to keep everything flowing in that perfect circle. Time has to “pass” in order for the universe to be kept in balance. If you don’t throw things out of whack with free will in opposition to God’s path, then there is no reason for time to pass. The passage of time effectively ends. Those that follow God’s path effectively live on forever in “heaven”, which is essentially a place where you can skip backwards and forwards in time without ever “aging”, because time is just simply an interesting novelty to manipulate at your whim. If you, the entire world and the entire universe around you is completely balanced, then; poof! no more time.

Like I said, lots of crazy speculation and other craziness that you can get into here; probably things that are completely beyond my or anyone else’s ability to fully comprehend. But the basic fact of God is the perfect life form, we are life forms and therefore we are baby “gods” is irrefutable. In addition, the good and evil logic; again, irrefutable. The time stuff, maybe just rampant speculation on my part, but it too is probably closer to truth than fiction.

Enjoy pondering and trying to poke holes in this one!
