According to the bible, God has created light, space, time, matter etc. This is a strong hint that he is not made from such things.
God was created by the Old Ones, and exists in dreaming slumber.
The Bible also says God walked the earth like a regular man
To have created the universe, God has to exist outside of / independently of it. Therefore probably not made of atoms.
Fun fact - according to most christian thinkers/speakers I’ve listend to, this makes Christianity incompatible with pantheism (the belief that God is the universe, often referred to as “we are the universe experiencing itself”).
ETA:
spoiler
same would apply for various other religions, christianity is the one i’m most familiar with
Look into the kabbalistic concept of tzimtzum, it’s an interesting take.
Those kinds of arguments fail if someone believes that God created logic as well.
Clearly he would be made entirely out of Higgs-Bosons. (aka the god particle)
It was never meant to be called the god particle.
The Higgs boson is popularly known as the “the God Particle”. The name originated from Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman’s book on the particle which he titled the “Goddamn Particle” – owing to frustration over how difficult it was to detect.

We simply cannot answer that. Nothing in our models can lead to omnipotence, so there is no way to theorize about it.
We would need someone to propose an explanation that we could test.
I’d rather doubt it. I tend to think of God as the original uncaused action.
But the most important thing is to have a healthy scepticism towards anyone who claims to have definitive knowledge of God.
God was created by the Old Ones, silly.
The religion book we studied at school literally argued that God exists because everything must have a creator.
Like… what? Then who created God?
I wouldn’t believe my own comment if I was someone else and hadn’t read that book with my own two eyes.
The great thing about your imagination is that anything can become true if you believe it.
You take one part determinium, spin it causationally, add two parts euphorium (seasoned to taste), mix well in a negative space-time bowl, finally sprinkle with sarcasm spice. Boom. Done. Easy.
If i had to pretend to be religious id say dark matter/energy has the best chance so far
dark matter/energy
These are just holes (or errors) in our current physical formulas LOL
Literally “god of the gaps”
No, if we consider classical theism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, not sure what else but It should be quite universal), then god has no physical properties such as mass or shape. No mass would mean no atoms.
So, would it be a phenomenon then? Like weather? Some say God is unchanging, so not the same as weather…
Except that one can’t have weather as a phenomenon without atoms.
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, not sure what else but It should be quite universal), then god has no physical properties
Buddha and all the wooden gods in various jungles would like to have a word with you
It does have cock and balls though, and goes by he/his pronouns.
Photons don’t have mass.
Yeah, so no atoms.
You cannot compare God to anything physical; He doesn’t have atoms
Except of course Jesus who is God Incarnate, through Whom the world was made
your mom is made of atoms
It’s made of unicorn farts
How many of those can dance on the head of a pin?
We simply have no idea. The laws of physics began when the universe began as far as we know. Nothing before need necessarily be party to any laws, comprised of matter, or exist in time.
Not unless He becomes Incarnate, which He did. So Jesus is God and His human nature is made out of atoms, but God The Father isn’t made of atoms or any created thing. He can certainly affect and command created reality.

Did you just assume gods gender?
God’s pronoun is 祂¹
God has no genders, and God is all genders simultaneously
(¹pronounced the same as 他 (he/she) and 她 (she), [tā], but used for diving beings only)
Glad to see someone else repeat this obscure fact about Chinese that I knew. It’s what I live for.
Not sure why I got downvotes tho lol, guess Lemmy is Sinophobic
Anyone who isn’t saying something like “hahaha well skyfairy isn’t real!1!1!1!” On a topic like this is also susceptible to downvotes. Although the Chinese might have a part to play because we all know china is automatically a big bad!
If god were real, and created the universe, I’d think that its existence would be described as something that just is. There is no start or end, no body to observe, nothing to communicate with. In the way that this supreme power would exist, there is no way for us to quantify it.
Maybe it’s excited oxygen molecules?

So, dark matter, then?
