‘Atheism’ is the belief that there is no god, no Creator, God simply doesn’t exist and any belief in any god/goddess is wrong. Materialist scientists tend to be atheists, as they believe that only the material universe exists, and if no evidence of ‘God’ can be found in the material universe, there can be no god at all.
With a bit of reading, you realise that God is outside space and time. God isn’t in the material cosmos but outside ‘the matrix’, so to speak, if you’re familiar with the movies, the simulation that we are living in, the spatial-temporal matrix or hologram, a dimension made out of a computer; an illusion, a dreamworld. In The Matrix: Reloaded, Neo meets the Architect – the Creator of the Matrix, or God, as in the monotheistic depiction. It is interesting that God is a program, an artificial intelligence, and therefore, machine-like, with a mathematical precision.
If God is outside the universe, can there be evidence of God here on Earth?
One can say that nature, or specifically, that 1.618 or phi or the Golden Ratio, showing up in its design, that is to say, that nature may not have developed, just accidentally, randomly, or out of nowhere.
Another argument for there being evidence of God here in this universe is what we call ‘love’, a satisfying emotional state of pure beauty and deep sadness in a confused world that doesn’t seem to care. It gives us hope of a better future, maybe not for us, but for our children and our children’s offspring.
