God is the observer who is perfectly motionless. Before creating the universe, he partially transformed a small fraction of Himself into energy which is continuously in motion. So energy is the moving part of God. In India this energy is worshiped as Mother Durga, Kali, Amba, Vaishnodevi etc. In Christianity this energy is worshiped as Holy Ghost and scientists worship this energy as Mother Nature. Every living being has the motionless part of God within them which is called Soul or Spirit. In Einstein’s General Relativity theory this Soul is called the Observer. The moving part is mind and body. Both the observer and the energy are indestructible. They exist through eternity.
GOD will do three functions: generation / creation, observation and destruction....
God is the creator, both in terms of originating creation and ongoing creation (continually sustaining or preserving the universe in being). While God is an observer, he is not a passive one, because God is constantly causally active at every point within space and time.
People seem to be very confident of their differing answers. The question seems to refer to a modification of the earlier debates over deism ( God created the universe and withdrew from it), God created the universe and observes but does not interfere, and God created the universe and interferes from time to time (e.g miracles). Perhaps which approach one adopts depends more on which religion you grew up with and your temperament. Is there any way of deciding among these possibilities and persuading others on the thread with different views?
Ivan,
I concur - it *is* odd that among people there is a tendency to firmly ascribe to the supernatural something that, perhaps more properly, should simply be a mystery for now.
