The Theory of Gods And Man:

One day not too long ago (I would say about a year, before I found this website), I had an odd and peculiar thought that while I don't necessarily believe, I find it very intriguing. It combines both religion with science. I shall now explain to you, "The Theory of Gods and Man":

Scientists, for decades, have been trying to prove the existence of Alternate and Multiple Universes. These universes are parallel to our own, but that they have slight to insane differences. These universes could have slight changes to individuals based on different choices in our own actions, to major changes as living on a sun, or Dinosaurs still existing, or Man never existing in the first place.

With these possibilities possible in other universes, one could assume that a religion is true in one of these places; that there is indeed a God, a Yahweh, an Allah, or Ghost Spirits on these alternate universes. But if it's true on another planet, then that would mean that they would be endowed with special powers that mere mortals cannot comprehend, and that they can break the boundaries of space and time, so what is to stop them from moving on to other Universes?

Absolutely, nothing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if what I say is believable or true, then that would mean every religion in our existence, and every sect of religion, is not only correct, but can be explained scientifically as well. I present "The Theory of Gods And Man" (Since I don't know how to better explain it, I'll just do it in Bullet Points):

1: "All Gods come from one specific Universe. These Universes specifically created these gods, and nothing More."

2: "All Interpretations of a God come from their own Universes, which are identical to the Universe where God 1 came from but with slight alterations.

3: "Pantheons of Gods also came from One universe, and that they were the only things created from these universes. All interpretations of God Pantheons come from other Specific universes that only created these interpretations."

4: "These Gods are in a constant struggle with one another, as they each have different Ideology that is in a constant struggle."

5: "Since most Gods are represented as Immortals, Gods cannot kill one another."

6: "In order to establish Dominance over other Gods, The Gods quickly convert the inhabitants of as many nearby universes as possible. This is to fight wars with other Gods and other Universes."

7: "For those who are curious, the war is actually not pointless, as it helps create truces with other gods, as well as make weaker and more evil gods forced to surrender."

8: "The Further out a Universe is from a God Universe, the more mixed religiously they are, and the less influence the god has over that Universe."

9: "Universes that are farther out from God Universes also tend to have 'Atheism', due to the fact that a God's presence isn't felt in that universe."

10: "Universes that have the same sapient creatures as our own tend to fallow the same religions as in other Universes. Based off of this, since the Largest Religion on Earth is Catholicism, it can be concluded that Humans naturally fall under the Catholic Christian Doctrine in other Universes. This would also mean our Universe is most likely a cloned Universe from the original Human universe."

11: "Everything in every religious book is correct within the near by universes of that God. Everything outside of those few Universes is false, with the possibility of exceptions."

12: "Cults also have their own universes and God Universes."

13: "Any Cult becoming a Major Religion is the example of a God or gods gaining influence in the Universe. It also means that this Religion is gaining ground in the Wars of Religion."

And that, was the Theory of Gods and Man.

This physicist supports your hypothesis.

Edit: He said, 3 years later.

This is a really interesting perspective on religion, maybe if more people saw it, they wouldn't be fighting over whose religion is the correct one. No, instead they would be fighting over whose God is more influential in the multiverse. Religious debates, they never end :( Anyways, great job on thinking up this theory

But what if God is Man?

What if Man is God?

What if God is Dog?

What if God is Troll?
