I too was going to post the men in black ending.
In the grand scheme of things, I think it's absurd to view this planet and this time that we live in right now as the ONE. The life we haven't found on other planets is because we only have the understandings of what we know life to be. Before we discovered germs, life was purely what we could see with our own eyes without the aid of microscopes. We then understood that there was more than one context in which life existed on this earth.
Our God/Universe as the thread title calls. Is, to me, simply that. Our God/Universe and we our the make up/lego piece of a bigger God/Universe that is on a completely different time table than we are. Look at the life span of an ant compared to one day as a human, its all relative. Or a one year old baby, to that baby, that one year was an eternity. Me at 25, that one year was 1/25th of my time on earth. My grandpa at 76, his year was 1/76th of his life. Our own version of time gets infinitely smaller each year.
So yes, I do accept the argument as God = Universe being a valid argument, because for what it's worth, we all just typed words and beliefs that are probably false. Hell, everything we know and believe regarding the metaphysical is probably wrong as it comes from an understanding/belief of knowledge we are only exposed to right now at this present time. The world was in fact flat at one time if you go off of the knowledge we had to present.
"The source of all light is in the eye. If there were no eyes in this world, the sun would not be light." - Alan Watts. I use this as an argument that, we are only aware of these things once we can physically and mentally grasp and accept them. Yes, God is the Universe, the Universe is God. But our God is not THE universe and our Universe is not THE God.
P.S. I smoke GOOOOOOOOD.
