    pure energy, or thought/conscience. this was the case in DCU THE PRESCENCE, or SPN basically indestructible energy(not against other primoridals though). since they would exist beyond a reality they wouldnt be made out of anything that we can percieve.

    I’m not religious any more at all, but I thought of god as a permeating energy. Energy can become matter and light. Someone smarter than me can explain why that doesn’t make any sense, but that’s what my brain had come up with when I was wrestling with it.

    The probability that God exists is roughly the same as probability that you can find electron in the certain time and place. Is God made from atoms ? It’s hard to tell because first we need to answer question, are humans made from atoms or from empty space ?

    If any “god” exists then everything goes out the window. Anything can happen. Could be atoms could not kinda their choice I guess.

    god is a set of mathematical statements or at least that’s how to interpret it in a modern sense, 2000 years ago these views didn’t exist so they just called it “the metaphysical realm” but it’s not made of atoms, no.

    He would be made out of the snake body and the lion head!

    Finally a reason to tell everyone I’ve discovered gnosticism. It’s like normal religion, but for pessimists. On the other hand, so many Therion songs just make sense all of a sudden.

    If God exist he will likely be something else entirely probably made of another material outside of sub atomic particle. If God is made of atoms then his no God he still beholden to laws of physics. Personally closest to God for me are blackholes those thing are the Cathulu of the universe they will eat everything. I think there was a theory that were technically inside one.

    To have created the universe, God has to exist outside of / independently of it. Therefore probably not made of atoms.

    Fun fact - according to most christian thinkers/speakers I’ve listend to, this makes Christianity incompatible with pantheism (the belief that God is the universe, often referred to as “we are the universe experiencing itself”).

    ETA:

    spoiler

    same would apply for various other religions, christianity is the one i’m most familiar with

    We simply cannot answer that. Nothing in our models can lead to omnipotence, so there is no way to theorize about it.

    We would need someone to propose an explanation that we could test.

    Also, but not just, if we consider classical theism (pantheism), then there would be nothing that God isn’t. As God, if we would think of God as the foundation of all being, could not be anything that isn’t. Since what isn’t is without foundation.

    Also, but not just, if we accept panentheism, where God is everything that is and isn’t.

    Not at all in the dualistic theistic view where there is a distinction between what God has put in motion, the physical world, and the heavenly realm where the souls/angels/God resides. In base a distinction between the subjective and the physical.

    Basically the only time that anybody would accept God as ‘made out of atoms’ is if that person accepts the inherently and mostly explicitly atheistic view of metaphysical physicalism. Arguing for God from physicalism is like arguing for social healthcare as a (US) republican. There is an inherent disconnect between the two.

    According to the bible, God has created light, space, time, matter etc. This is a strong hint that he is not made from such things.
