(17,493 posts)As I sit here typing, my cat has just entered the room. It's time for his monthly treatment of Advantage Flea Treatment. I grab the little tube of flea drops and try to subtly approach him while he is eating. He realizes my intent and runs out the door of the room and hides.
No matter how I try to explain to him that the evil smelling liquid I place on the back of his neck will protect him from fleas, he will never understand. He lacks the intelligence.
I believe that humans have just enough brain power to be able to have some tiny comprehension of whatever or whoever "created" this universe, but we we can't and will never fully realize just what this entity or force is. Some call this force or entity omnipotent but we really have little comprehension of exactly what that word means.
I'm not even positive that this force has any real interest in us as He/She/It may view us as insignificant as I view fleas on a stray cat that doesn't belong to me.
It is possible that He/She/It was the nothing that existed before the multiverse as our universe may well be just one of an infinite number of universes. He/She/It may be part of everything and everywhere.
We often view God as an old man with a beard on a cloud. This, in my opinion, is a foolish representation and places a limit on a force that can't be limited.
