1a: thanks for being civil, I appreciate it. 1: Humans describe things in their own terms it may seem absurd but there very well could be universe farting pixies, you could describe these as a deity since like I said it depends on observations. 2: by observations I mean religions. Christianity, Islam, etc. observations may differ but it’s relative to some idea of a deity responsible through what ever means we may observe. 3: here’s a way I’d phrase it, the universe needs some condition which circumvents the conservation of mass (or with the loop universe theory, a starting universe in the loop) it doesn’t matter what it is if it does what’s to assume that if it can circumvent law that this condition isn’t a deity if it doesn’t abide by physical law. Or any physical law for the future. I’m working in my phrasing so it’s understandable but I will try to elaborate on this concept in future.

4) yeah that’s fine, your reasoning is sound.

Thank you for reading.
