Can you explain the mysteries of the universe. Einstein's theories shed some light on how the universe works, but his work is far from a complete explanation unifying our understanding of everything. We as humans do not understand the universe. If we don't fully understand the created, how can we understand God, (eg the creator); because, God would be more complex that his creation (eg the universe). To often people and religion try to package God into a nice, neat nutshell, and say "OK here is God in his entirety. This is our God.", but God is far to big and complex for that, nor can any person or religion posses or rule over God. God is the ruler and he makes himself available to everyone. God has revealed to us what we need to now, but he certainly has not revealed everything. >>> This 'God' is obviously much bigger than anything I can imagine, >>> such >>> as the universe.

I have even denied God and pushed God out of my life from time to time, but God did not condemn me nor will he torture me for all eternity. I had to confess my mistakes, (eg sins), and be truly remorseful about them, and all was forgiven by God. If your son makes a mistake, would you condemn him or torture him. You, as your son's loving parent, would continue you love your son; although, you might hate the mistake your son made. In time all would be forgiven and forgotten by you, and your son would learn from his mistakes. The God of my understanding is not out to get any or out to punish anyone.
