First, let me explain what I mean by "God." I don't mean God as defined by human religion, a God who interferes in human lives, a God who you're supposed to worship. I mean God as the originator of our universe.
Suppose there is a God. Furthermore, suppose this God created our universe. As a consequence, it also created the laws of nature. Since God created the laws of nature, it is not bound by these laws. Here's where the brain-stretching comes in. I propose that the whole idea that something "exists" is a consequence of the laws of physics. If something has mass or can be detected in any way, we say it exists. Even our thoughts correspond in some way to electrical and chemical processes, and they ultimately relate to tangible things. So, if God is above the laws of physics, why does God have to "exist" in order to be real? Note: I'm an agnostic atheist. But I think our traditional arguments about the potential existence of God ignore all this point, and it's worth mentioning.
