If could comprehend a universe without God, would you want to create it?

Hi there,

I'm not just interested in what people's answers to this question are, as what the heuristic they use to answer it is. As in, where are you coming from when you answer this question, not just your reason, but what do you think you would be leaving behind in this Universe, in order to get to the one you would create.

Thanks for your time.

If I were to create a universe, wouldn't I be the God of that universe? :)

But assuming that we put that little logical snag aside, sure, I'd love to create a universe just like ours.

Yes, but would you admit that you were God? Would you reveal yourself to that Universe?

What would be your logic?

Good question. I would not reveal myself in such a way as to draw worship. If I were to interact with that universe at all, I would be more like Gandalf or Odin, having adventures and spreading wisdom, within my abilities.

What would be your logic?

Our universe is awesome! It is all that a universe needs to be. There is no need for deities.

I already live in a universe without God so why would I need to create one?

You're quick to isolate an assumption I am making, before you demonstrate that you are even interested in the greater possibility (I present).

I'm not saying that's wrong, but you have to at least expect that I won't like it.
