In my "thought experiments" about God, I consider that he supposedly created everything we've been seeing with the Hubble telescope photos and others - a universe so vast that we can see parts of it that existed before our solar system was born. Then, I pretend I'm the "God" of my own body, and all the creatures in it, the microbes, the viri, the prions, etc. I'm unaware of these creatures, other than intellectually, and they seem unaware of me.

Yet these tiny, invisible things are massively larger than I am compared even to the observed universe, and no one knows how large the universe is, because we can't see it's end. Or, know if it's the ONLY universe.

So, I figure I can know about as much about God, if it exists, as one of my viruses can know about me. Which is nothing.
