What is God? Everyone has their own definition of it. Some say he’s the first cause, while others precieve him to be someone who’s watching them all the time and who’ll fix all their problems. Here lies another definition:
Imagine when there was no creation, in the void of nothingness, at that time the attributes of God that we humans assign are redundant ; like he cannot hear without sound, cannot see without something to see, cannot will without something to act upon. So, If there is no creation, then His attributes commonly — omniscience, omnipotence, Omni benevolence, omnipotent , mercy; have no reference, no manifestation. Denying the attributes leaves us with nothing but an abstraction. And abstractions, more often than not, lean toward non-existence(no concrete existence) .
Like consider this:
Imagine an apple without any of its properties no color, no shape, no taste, no texture. What remains? Nothing. It is its properties that make it real and it is it’s properties that differentiate it from strawberry etc.In the same way, the attributes of God distinguish Him from everything else. Without them, how would He differ from pure singularity or from some undefined XYZ?
And by this, if we strip God of attributes, we could just as easily assign divinity to the singularity that existed before the Big Bang which was hot, dense, and filled with potential some 13.8 billion years ago. That singularity then becomes the creator, and the universe becomes both the creation and the experience of itself.
Hence we, we are carved out of stardust which makes us part of universe..
So perhaps the universe itself is creator.
Experiencing itself.
