The Universe is God. God is the Universe. What follows is the evidence. We need to show the Universe is: Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. Omnipotence and Omnipresence are easy. But what about Omniscience?
My book "Proving God Exists" (2018) argued the Universe is Omniscient. But something was missing. And that something was: consciousness. To be Omniscient, the Universe must be Conscious. It must be Self-aware.
The challenge then is to put forth good, concrete evidence that the Universe is Conscious, and if Conscious, then Omniscient; if Omniscient, then Omnipotent; if Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent, then God.

I grew up in Boston, moved to Ann Arbor, where I received my Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of Michigan, then moved again to San Antonio, where I taught Sociology at the University of Texas. I am the author of seven books: "Violence and Religious Commitment" (Penn State Press), about the suicide and murder of over 900 members of the People's Temple Church in the Jonestown massacre; "Proving God Exists: Physics, Cosmology, and the Universal Mind," about scientific proof for God's existence; "The Moral Symmetry of Good and Evil," about the scientific derivation of morality; "Knowing: Consciousness and the Universal Mind," a composite theory for solving the "hard problem" of consciousness; "Mind of God," addressing the question, "Does the Universe think?" "Scandal in the American Orchid Society," about treachery and betrayaI in a volunteer organization; and "American Hitler," about Trump and his fanatical followers.

I have also published a series of six articles on human consciousness in "The Journal of Consciousness Exploration and Research," in addition to several other articles on violence, crime, and delinquency, including "Becoming a Hit Man" (Sage Publications), which has since been cited in over 110 other books and articles.
