or what "infinity" really means. What would be here if the universe never happened?

W@hat would be here if nothing was here? A nothing more "nothingy" than just a vacuum, which would be something. "Nothing" means the non-existence of "something" to compare it to. So if we have the concept of "something", is that not the existence of something?

So, we have to dive deep into the concept of nothingness to even eliminate the concept of something. The human mind cannot do that.

So, "something" is the natural state of things in our universe. How did the somethings come about? We don't know and may never know. We also may never know about the possibility of "nothing".

Not all deists claim God created the universe; some simply consider it an unanswerable, and therefore irrelevant, mystery. And many consider God to be just one step above us, with possibly many steps and gods above them. God is there as the ultimate appeals court and management of just our sector. Of course, we humans have a problem deciding which god is the real one, or how it speaks to us.

Personally, I am fascinated by solipsism. The thought that all of this is merely my mind creating everything from the lilies of the field to mass murder is strangely comforting while it is terrifying. Perhaps it's not just my mind, but a few minds working together to create conflict.

I have to go now.
