Chapter 1: The Scientific Dilemma

In a previous article, I proposed that God possesses no power based on Einstein’s renowned equation when paired with a straightforward physics principle, indicating that a non-material deity (the incorporeal God) lacks any power.

A counterargument I received suggested that God could be composed of elements we simply do not yet understand. Here’s my response to that claim.

This rebuttal fails to invalidate the calculations attributed to Einstein. Our understanding of the universe is extensive. If you wish to delve deeper, there are numerous courses available on particle physics that can expand your knowledge beyond what I’m presenting here. If God exists, He must be made of particles that are recognized in our universe. If He is truly omnipotent, as claimed, then His power must stem from a combination of the four fundamental forces in nature—yes, there are four such forces. These forces are intrinsically linked to these particles.

Every entity in our universe, including humans, is constructed from these particles and utilizes these forces to harness power. To assert that God is made of something unknown is a weak attempt to bypass the vast body of scientific knowledge accumulated about our universe.

If God intends to act within our universe—like responding to a prayer—this necessitates the use of power derived from those particles and forces I mentioned earlier. Furthermore, He would have to manifest in our universe as particles and abide by the universal speed limit: the speed of light. Given the immense scale of the universe, it would take Him over six billion years to traverse the distance from wherever He might exist to your location to fulfill your prayer. By then, we would not be alive to witness His response. Our sun is expected to last only about 7 to 8 billion more years, so it will undoubtedly extinguish long before God could reach you to answer a prayer and return home.

In conclusion, I assert that God does not exist. He was never a reality but rather a construct devised by humans to exert control over others. Embrace this understanding and align yourself with the free thinkers of the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read my perspective.
