Life, the Universe, everything & God

It is rather strange how we define God as the limit: 
Creator of the universe – lower limit of time. 
Destroyer of the universe  upper limit of time. 
Perpetrator of the universe – upper limit of space. 
Omnipresence – lower limit of space.
Omnipotence – upper limit of energy.  
Omniscience – lower limit of energy.
Is it because of this fear of the dark, fear of the things we don't understand which conceives our need of God? Is God just our need to have an answer for the things beyond our understanding? Is God everything we don't understand? Will God's power keep diminishing as it has since science has been encroaching His territory? Or will we find new dimensions which are so dark that we always need God to describe them? God will exist as long as our knowledge is not absolute. And our knowledge will never be absolute along any dimension that we might discover. God will always remain, thus.

But is our knowledge really eliminating God even partly? Do we know what's real and what's perceivable? Isn't science just empirically proven philosophy? And isn't philosophy just meditation on God? Isn't everything around us just something we don't truly understand? Do we really know anything? Are we really here, now?

Fuck this shit.

Put a million zeros and decimal point before whatever you are doing. That is what it amounts to. But our world is just a few hundred times that. And to make a difference in that negligible fraction, we spend all our illusory lives. But what can we do? Do we have the power to make a bigger difference? Or to expand our world in this expanding universe? Aren't we limited to just trying to survive and reproduce? And in the way asking a thousand questions? Are we really living? Or are we just impulses in our brain? Are we defined by our soul, if it exists? Is it the new or rather old dimension, science is incapable exploring, yet? Will we know the answers in our lifetime? Or the lifetime of humans? Or the lifetime of life? Or will each of our sentences keep ending with a question mark?

So, go. Live your life. That is all that you can do. That is all that matters to our mind, body and soul. Let God worry about life, universe and everything.
