Copied and pasta'd from a PM I sent because I don't need to rephrase this every time someone brings up the God argument. I'll just link them here.

Since so many religions oppose, I've figured that the only way billions of people can hold different faiths is that we cumulatively are "God" or an all-controlling deity. Christians sometimes use the metaphor that Jesus and God are inside of us and are everywhere, but it's really not a metaphor. My definition of God is the sum of all matter, energy, consciousness, thought, and emotion. Since these things ARE everything, they must control everything.

But since God is spread through unliving matter and over a googol of organisms (ranging from single-celled to the most complex systems), we individually hold very little power. Because of this we are subjective to laws of physics, the will of others, and the like. Science and physics are statistical; if we were all to stop believing in gravity and stop remembering it for all the billions of years we HAVE existed in it (neigh impossible since we would have to deny forces present and visible to the eye; normally only insane people could achieve this), then gravity would cease to exist.

Because of this, forces of our faiths have created outer regions (starting as concepts and perhaps invisibly manifesting after a time) of our universe to fit our beliefs (heaven, hell, limbo, etc.) and so two contradicting theories can exist and both be true (like doublethink incarnate, if you've read 1984).

This means any additional theories I can estimate will not be permanent, rather they will only exist to be true for a time until the flow of the universe shifts by decree of an entity powerful enough to do so (which may be possible from anywhere in the polyverse), but by entity I don't mean it has to be a single being or consciousness; it can be collective consciousness, or even a bunch of individuals that have nothing more in common than shared ideals.

Well I do have "additional" theories, and the point of this composition was to display them. After having read this, people have asked me what I think happens to a person after death. I'd have to guess what happens to our intellect is similar to what happens to our bodies. Our personality, values, traits, memories, and intelligence break off into pieces the way decomposers feed upon us. These mental properties float around in the astrological plane (or the fourth dimension) until, like the nutrition in our bodies, they are used in the creation of another entity. Some parts stay intact, and some are simply lost. These 'lost' pieces still exist the way matter is indestructible, but hold the identity of a Lego model that has been completely disassembled; it's just as good as gone. If a sufficiently intact piece of the mind makes it into another sentient organism such as a human, they may experience past lives. In the way that only a part of the person remains, many people may share the past live of one person, especially if a particularly vivid or traumatic experience has bound the memories together, making them more resilient to decomposition.

Another highly debated issue in philosophy or religion is the creation of the universe. My theory on this is that this energy (both physical and spiritual) and matter swirled around (not necessarily obeying any laws of physics) until our universe was created entirely out of chance. The existence of an organism, especially something that thought of time in a linear fashion, would tether and preserve the current state of the universe, until the more intelligent creatures came into existence, cementing the rules of the universe more and more. It may seem improbable for everything to exist as it is, but if the universe were swirling around with no consciousness to perceive it, the span of time would really be nonexistent. Time that cannot be perceived is time that does not exist. So the cosmos would endlessly toil until some kind of organism or entity was created that had an inherent instinct to survive (like life on Earth). From this point, the entity would adapt to its environment and eventually shape it into something more hospitable.

I have one more paragraph I'll type later and it's on identity. Kind of unrelated but interesting nonetheless.

Now time for mindless drivel:
