A Graphic Depicting the Curvature of Spacetime, Called the Geodetic Effect
What is God?
For all of recorded history, cultures in locations all over the world have identified God as one thing primarily, the creator of the life that we see manifest around us. Panendeism posits that the creation of life is worthy of the term God, and knowing that we, as fantastically complex beings, are a product of the universe, we call the Universe and all its observable properties, 'God.'
However, it's likely that spacetime came into being when our universe came into being, and while existence is possible without space or time, neither space or time can occur without some form of existence preceding it. We also know that the majority of the reality we perceive and are capable of observing is quite small in comparison to the whole picture. Over 99% of what we perceive as material reality (matter) is in fact space. However, as NASA found in their experiment with Gravity Probe B, space is not made up of nothing, in fact, because of this experiment, we have proof that mass literally warps the fabric of spacetime in what's called the Geodetic Effect. We can't see it, weigh it, or measure it in any way, but wee know that it exists and is an incredibly important aspect of our reality. We also know that there are all sorts of magnificent particles out there waiting to be discovered, and we're slowly doing that through projects like CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory. We also have good reason to believe that there are more dimensions than the 3 we are capable of perceiving. In lieu of all of this, Panendeism describes God as totality - both the known universe, and everything that exists outside of it.
