Abstract
Most current theologies are based on the assumption that God exists independently of this world, a mysterious other. It is hard to know a mystery, so we have a jungle of competing theologies corresponding to different guesses about the nature of god
This book takes the opposite approach. Let us say that god and the Universe are identical. In other words, the Universe performs all the roles traditionally assigned to god, creator, sustainer and judge.
If the Universe is divine, all our experience is experience of god. Theology can, therefore, become a real evidence based science. Since there is but one god, true knowledge of god will put us on a path to the unification of theology, as science has done for with physics and biology.
We already know a lot about god. On our hypothesis, all science and art is knowledge of god and so part of theology. Yet we are missing the big picture, how the world creates itself. This book is a search for the essence of creative divinity.
