In the following statement of belief, George Earl
Davis, an American physicist, makes, perhaps, the
best summing up of the situation: ‘If a universe
could create itself, then it would embody in itself

forced to conclude that the universe itself is a God.

in the peculiar form of a God that is both
supernatural and material. I choose to conceive of a
God who has created a material universe not
identical with Himself but dominated and
permeated by Himself.
