What is God?

Pamposh: God not captured in a few words (or even in a lot of words). God is beyond definition.

God or the Big Bang? (or both)?

Pamposh: Both. Who created the Big Bang?

God or Darwin (or both)?

Pamposh: Again, both. Whose idea is evolution?

God or Darfur? (How can Darfur happen if there is God?)

Pamposh: How? By human folly.

Who is God’s God?

Pamposh: Hmm. If God means whatever we take it to mean, God is, in a sense, our creation. There we – you and I – must be God’s God.

Will the real God please stand up? (Why do we have so many religions?)

Pamposh: Remember the story of the elephant and the four blind men who described him variously by the parts each one felt? God is in the eye of the beholder – each one pictures God according to their own understanding and imagination.

Is this just a big lab and are we just guinea pigs and God just a researcher?

Pamposh: I’d say it’s a school and we’re students.

Does unexplained phenomena = God?

Pamposh: Unexplained surely has more to do with our own lack of understanding than with God. I’d say no, not God. I’d say unexplained phenomena really equal un-understood phenomena.
