God is within us, sharing our consciousness. As lifeforms born into consciousness with five senses to interpret the world we live in, God lives in each of us and experiences the universe through us. God also exists simultaneously elsewhere, everywhere. There is an intelligence at work in the universe. Trying to describe an infinite being capable of creating everything which we can experience is an effort in futility. Yet we continue to pursue the carrot on the stick, and we try to answer the unanswerable.

This unending search by human beings to find their God is primitive. God is within us, sharing our consciousness . We cannot see God until we look in the mirror, or gaze upon the surface of the vast sea, or observe the Earth from the International Space Station. God is crying in the delivery room of every hospital . God is weeping for the fallen soldier in every war . God is laughing with us , playing soccer with us , dancing with us under the stars of creation .

As our knowledge increases , it seems obvious that Nature is composed of extremely intricate mechanisms . That there is an order to everything we have labelled as life . The same extremely intricate mechanisms can be seen in every science we turn to and try to examine . This is where God is . God is in your heartbeat and the thoughts you are thinking . Now we begin to ask why does God allow such terrible things to occur . The answer to that is that in the extremely complex workings of the infinite universe , there must come what we as humans view from our perspective as good events and bad events . It is just the same as the push and pull of negative electrons and positive protons at the subatomic level . It all works together , simultaneously , and the instant which is now continues upon the nexus which we experience as "time" .

Omnipresent . Where is God ? It is like standing in Central Park and asking where is NYC ? Reading this , you are using your eyes to decode scratches of black on white . Your mind interprets this as writing and has the ability to organize and translate these markings into a form of communication . You yourself are a collection of molecules collected from the surrounding sub-strata and organized into a life form known as homo-sapiens . All of this from the "dust" of a star we call the Sun . And even this star is just one in an infinite number . "Time" registered in billions of years cannot account for the diversity of life found on this one single planet , orbiting it's star , out on the edge of it's galaxy called by us humans as the "Milky Way".

Or, we are just dustballs with this accidental thing called intelligence , which happened because your salt molecule bumped into my iron molecule some infinite ages in the past and here we are all blue and hazel eyed and astounded by the world .
