Big Fuss Over Big Bang

If true, then an extra-cosmic domain exists, in which these various membranes stretch toward infinity, occasionally bumping into each other making multiple cosmic bubbles, or alternate realities. What we currently know as our universe would therefore be just one among myriad alternate universes. However, a bigger question about these membrane collisions would be; do they really occur by accident? Is the production of universes actually nothing more than a side effect? Or could these collisions be directed with intention? Is there an extra-cosmic force or “Source” manipulating these membranes, with intelligence? Could these membrane collisions be caused by a Cosmos Designer? Right now there is no way to know with certainty, however, we should not just automatically rule out such a possibility merely because we can not at this time confirm it.

Some have already suggested that if M-Theory is proven, thus displacing the current standard model of Inflation Theory, it will be the final nail in God’s coffin, for according to their opinion, in that event God would no longer be necessary for an entire Universe to come into existence.

While there may be an increasing body of evidence indicating the truth of M-Theory, this theory has not yet been proven. And even if mounting evidence of M-Theory increases over the next few years, which is really quite likely, that still proves nothing about the question of whether or not the Universe was designed by some form of intelligence, such as we might call God. In fact, if M-Theory is proven, it would mean there is a domain beyond our Universe, which actually could be the domain of an extra-cosmic Entity capable of perceiving reality in eleven dimensions or possibly more, if there are more. After all, if the Multiverse does have eleven dimensions, as suggested by M-Theory, then why shouldn’t there be entities capable of maneuvering within and in full perception of all eleven of those dimensions? By comparison to us, with our limited perceptions to our little three dimensions of space, and bound by the ever forward flow of the forth dimension of time, such an enormously multidimensional being would certainly seem rather “god-like” in nature.

So, proving the reality of M-Theory could in fact make the existence of God more likely than if M-Theory were proven false. Now bear in mind, God as understood in this context would actually be nothing like the anthropomorphic “gods” of mythological or religious origin. Contrary to what many atheists may think, or tell you, mythology is not the only origin of the God concept. There are several historic philosophical, (non-mythological), precedents. Among them we find the ancient Greek philosophical theory, espoused by Anaxagoras, (from Athens; circa 500 – 428 BC), who taught of the Cosmic Designer he called the Nous (”Mind”). Also having much in common with this designer of the Cosmos, we have historically much later the philosophical Deistic school of thought from the time we now know as the Age of Enlightenment in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries of the Common Era. Classic Deism, and even more recently Pandeism are not mythological approaches to the idea of a theoretical entity that may have designed the universe. These philosophical approaches to the question are primarily based on a logical deductive reasoning rather like this:
