... Then it MUST be 'God', by default.
Even science seeks to unite everything to "one thing" - a theory of everything (a "TOE") seeks to relate all things to a single thing.
However, I contend that if One Thing is the cause of everything that proceeds it, then that "One Thing" must be 'God', by default. So even science is searching for God, as long as it seeks a singular theory or cause of everything that exists [within awareness].
The reason why I say that "One Thing" must = God, is completely logical:-
... If "One Thing" is the primal-cause of EVERYthing that proceeds it, then clearly, that thing is the absolute cause of all of those proceeding things. But it is impossible for any entity to be the absolute cause" of anything unless that entity first ~desires~ and then ~wills~ those proceeding effects into existence. I.e., 'will' and 'desire' must be attributes of a singular cause of any proceeding effects.
... What alternatives are there? None, as far as I'm concerned, since if only a singular entity exists and is the cause of all proceeding effects, then nothing else can be responsible for those effects.
This leaves science in a quandary, for it cannot seek a singular cause of all proceeding effects without invoking the attributes of desire and will. If it does do that, then science seeks a God.
The alternative is to seek a multiple cause of all things - but since the laws-of-physics are singular, this makes science redundant, because science knows of only One Law.
Please remember that no-thing within perception (sensory stimulae are not without cause) can be 'acausal' in itself. Therefore, spare me your mantras pertaining to QM.
Cheers.
