I’d like to simply share a theory that is both a scientific process and a leap of faith:
If God [a] is omnipresent (he can be in any and different places at the same time).
And if God [a] is omnipotent / Omniscient (he can do everything and anything conceivable or not by humankind).
Then obviously if you follow a rigorous scientific process, then it is logical to conclude that [a] can create a universe anywhere it pleases where it itself will not exist…
And if you have faith, well you have to believe that God can create a universe where he does not exist, after all he works in mysterious ways, and it could be an ultimate “test to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul” - Deuteronomy 13:1-3
Jeez, I finally filled the gap between atheists and theists: We can now all agree that somewhere, God does not exist… See? That wasn’t so hard now was it?
