No more God, please. I’ve had enough. From now on, it’s the Supreme Being who Created the Universe (SBwCU). God just comes with too much baggage. SBwCU is a much leaner concept: SBwCU refers to the super-being who brought the Universe into existence. Nothing more, nothing less. SBwCU may or may not have been alone at the Creation. SBwCU may or may not concern Himself with humanity. SBwCU may or may not be a good guy. SBwCU may or may not have fathered a child of the Virgin Mary. But SBwCU is definitely the Supreme Being who Created the Universe.

God is SBwCU, with the additional properties of being all good, all powerful, and all knowing. It’s fairly easy to make a convincing case against the existence of God; the problem of evil, for instance, will suffice. It’s harder to argue against SBwCU: you can’t argue against Him on the basis of the existence of evil; you can’t argue against him on lack of evidence; the universe itself is the evidence!

There’s a whole universe out there that needs explaining. Isn’t SBwCU, by definition, the explanation?
