When people discuss God, they usually adopt Abraham’s concept of God, creator of the Universe and humanity.

This concept is contradictory in many aspects:

1. When we say that there is one God or even many gods, we are counting: One God, several Gods. But the number concept implies space. Without the concept of space, we have no concept of numbers.

2. But space is an integral part of the Universe, which God supposedly created. God, the creator, cannot be defined by something belonging to the creature. Logically, it is absurd.

3. If God created the Universe, he/she existed in the temporal dimension before the Universe. But time is an integral part of the Universe. Again, we use something part of the Universe to define its creator. Logically, this is another absurdity.

4. So, to avoid contradiction, we shouldn’t say “One God”

5. Equally, we shouldn’t call him the creator because he should then exist outside of time, which is absurd.

6. Other absurdities: We cannot define God’s characteristics positively, only negatively. We say that he is “immense,” which means “non-measurable”, or “infinite”, which means non-finite. Both those attributes imply the concept of space, about which please refer to number 2) above. We say that he is eternal, but that implies the concept of time, about which please refer to number 3) above.

7. We could attempt to save the concept of God from the above contradictions saying that God is part of the universe, but then he can’t be defined as the creator if he is part of the creature.

8. Some experimental facts make unnecessary the concept of a creator God. One of them is this: We. have tried in all possible ways to annihilate matter, to no avail. Matter can be transformed but not made disappear. This means that matter, which is the Universe, is eternal. But that is not a characteristic that started when we established that we can’t annihilate matter. It has always been like that. Matter has always existed. Matter, in other words, cannot avoid existing. So, the Universe never had a creator.
