The Entity of God

What is god? Is there such a thing as god? An actual physical entity that represents an almighty being whom has control of our world and our lives? One cannot have a completely "correct" opinion on such a concept. There are many different views on the whole concept.

The main views are that there is one god, there are several gods, there is no god, or that there is a collective god. The theory with one god is the theory that most major religions in the world follow (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity). These religions believe that one entity, an almighty entity, created the heavens and the earth and put the human race and all other living things on earth.

The several gods theory, one that has died out in mainstream religions describes our world as basically a game that the gods play to amuse themselves. The religions include the ancient pagan religions as seen in early ancient Rome and ancient Greece. The no god theory, or atheism, is a more scientifically sound theory, which basically states that there is no almighty power holding our world together, and our world keeps turning because of the laws of science. This ideology states that humans were evolved from earlier forms of life.

The last theory, of a collective god, is more or less that of spirituality, that all living souls collectively represent the binding force that runs our world. This force is the miracle force that single god religions call their "god" and multi-god religions referred to as the game of the gods, and atheism, does not have an exact term for.
