Be up in arms if ya like,This is only a theory that's likely false.
So does a central,sentient force in the universe really exist?Well even though I personally believe there is one,I think the answer is impossible to determine.Let me explain this potential taboo-riffic answer.
First,consider what role religion plays in our society.Religion gives us a code of conduct on which to act.In fact religious code forms the base of our laws.(seperation of church and state my arse.) So,if we violate these laws,we are also violating the laws of a religion,if we follow the law,we're following our religion's code of conduct (with exception).So,if this is the case,is religion not self-fulfilling?It means that god (or whichever central diety in a society) is omnipotent over the people,you're judged by a court and Jury.These people follow the principles of their society and by extension,religion so are you not under the orders of god?In short,when it comes to society there may be one.Of course,there is no physical evidence,so one could say there is none.But consider this:Even those that are atheistic are victim to the laws of society/religion,so one could say that there is a god,but some could say it's a self-fulfiling illusion,thus it is a metter of opinion,and ultimately,as stated in the bible,god cannot be proven or disproven.
In short:Religion is a self fulfilling code of ethics,the likes of which can be viewed as either an illusion or absolute truth,depending on an opininon.The laws of logic say that that an opinion cannot be proven,so religious truths/falsities cannot be proven,as stated by some religious texts.
