god

Depending on your source of information, God is: the creator of all; ruler of the universe; source of moral authority; the supreme being; with human characteristics; beyond human characteristics; all-loving; judgmental; all-knowing; all-powerful; present everywhere at all times; male; female; without gender; outside of time and space; and more.

The concept of God has changed over the ages.

Scientists offer some interesting insights on God:

No one believes in the Greek gods. Atheists just go one god further. That's Richard Dawkins take on the Big Guy. But John Polkinghorne likens God to the director of a vast improvisatory troupe.

Paul Davies is still looking: "If God is to be found, it must surely be through what we discover about the world, not what we fail to discover." Davies speaks against a "God-of-the-gaps," a cosmic magician who gets pushed further from the picture with each new scientific discovery. His view of the universe is "not as the plaything of a capricious Deity, but as a coherent, rational, elegant, and harmonious expression of a deep and purposeful meaning."

Finally, while Einstein said God does not play dice, Stephen Hawking claims that "all the evidence is that God is quite a gambler."
