The most common question I am asked is, 'Do you believe in God?'

My reply - "Yes — but not in the way most people define the term.

The question of God is, at its core, a question of language, definition, and worldview. While most people across various fields believe in some ultimate source or ordering principle, the terms they use differ significantly.

Theologians speak of God through sacred traditions. Philosophers invoke concepts like a necessary being or a first cause. Scientists often avoid the term entirely, yet still explore foundational laws, singularities, or a unifying field that orders the universe.

Even Einstein — who did not believe in a personal God — famously remarked that he could not believe the universe was governed by randomness. He spoke of the profound harmony of natural laws and referred to a “cosmic religious feeling,” and even “the mind of God,” suggesting a deep respect for a structuring intelligence.

I agree with that perspective. Yes, I believe in God — not as narrowly defined by theology, nor purely as an abstract philosophical concept, nor hidden in equations—but as the unifying truth behind all three. Each field is describing the same foundational reality, just in different dialects of the same language.

Do you believe that God and consciousness are one and the same?

"Not exactly — but consciousness is undoubtedly one of God’s fundamental qualities."

As with many deep questions, the challenge lies in language. Definitions, interpretations, and cultural frameworks shape how we even approach the idea of “God” and “consciousness.” Human beings are limited by vocabulary and metaphor — we describe ultimate realities in the only terms we have, often distorting what we seek to understand.

In one of my books, I explore a hypothetical scenario: What if we encountered an intelligent alien species that communicated through mathematics rather than words? How would they describe God — not through stories or symbols, but through formulas and relationships? This thought experiment reveals how much our view of God is shaped by our language.

So no, I do not believe that God is consciousness, strictly speaking. Rather, I see consciousness as one of God’s intrinsic attributes, alongside logic and empathy.

I mention empathy deliberately. If God is the underlying consciousness that generates vibrational excitation in the quantum field, giving rise to all known particles and the structures of reality, and if this process leads to DNA, sentience, and moral capacity, then empathy is not accidental. It’s designed. Humans and animals exhibit empathy because it is embedded in the structure of creation.

Consciousness, logic, empathy — these are not isolated traits, but qualities that reflect something deeper. They emanate from what we call God. But none of them alone is God.
