I think I found God...
I was checking out the "Scale of the Universe" thing http://htwins.net/scale/">here (it's always fun), and when I zoomed way in, I noticed a little dot I hadn't noticed:



At first, I thought it was a little speck on my screen, but it didn't brush off, so I zoomed in as far as the animation goes, and...well, take a look at what I found...



I'm humbled. What's more, I realized the theological ramifications: God can simultaneously be too small to have any physical qualities and be in sufficient quantity to literally be everywhere at once. He's small enough to be woven into the fabric of spacetime!:wow:

2. You have to believe to see Him...or, YOU CAN'T PROVE ME WRONG!!
:rofl:

I was inspired by the post in R/T where Rabbi Whatshisname makes a standard god of the gaps argument (AKA The Incredibly Shrinking Deity) and calls it reasonable.

5. You made him smaller than the red bar of physical sense.
Red Bar of Physical Sense sounds like a D&D artifact.

6. Well I couldn't make him any bigger!
Any bigger and science would be able to probe him!

8. That may be the endpoint of the God of the Gaps approach.
