Environment What if God is a Goldilocks Zone?

It is something I have been thinking about for a while now and some times keeps me up at night because it's implications is slightly disturbing...

But what if God is a Goldilocks zone? We live in one, and just because of that alone, we have reproduced through generations and mutated and evolved into so many different species of animals and different living organisms. Every idea or invention that has ever been created is thanks to us being in a goldilocks zone which I find intriguing because it's almost like a goldilocks zone is very similar to a mandlebrot fractal, as if you have 1 goldilocks zone then you can practically infinitely zoom in and find oth we goldilock zones hypothetically.

We as life even have potential to bring and spread a goldilocks zone all over the universe if planned and acted on properly, even the concept of God wouldn't be possible if it weren't for one... its just so strange to me that it seems like this would be something more people would be discussing since it is like the root/centerpoint to everything ever we as live have lived through and its all around us protecting us, as life, 24/7.

The most likely existence of god is not an entity but a force- the force that caused the universe to burst into existence. Many theories exist describing what that force is. A popular one (my personal favorite) is black holes. We live inside of a black hole is essentially what it is. Cosmos Season 1 episode (I think) 4 talks about this idea. 

Thinking that god is some sentient being or entity is ignorant thinking brought upon due to our inability to rationalize the unknown.  Humans are smart but we started off pretty stupid.

Dang so weird I was just thinking about a lot of YouTube thumbnails saying we live in a blackhole then I open reddit to see your response haha..

I think humans are very contextual creatures, like what is smart or what is dumb is very much determined on what you do for a living and what issues you are facing in life. Some of the dumbest people alive still have very intricate habits and patterns to their daily life we are all sort of professionals in our own lives to say the least.

Honestly Goldilocks zones being God is not my initial thought about what God is. My main idea of what God is essentially is.. well all of really... I feel like a lot of people think of God as like this scientist at some computer or simulation station just standing over us, but I feel like God is more like an always shape-shifting conglomeration of different densities and viscosity and perhaps also even a spectrum of life in between organic and inorganic.

Almost like a washing machine, except every time there's a woosh, it's almost like the entire periodic table of elements goes for a roll of the dice, as well as the probability of cause and effect... sort of like a chameleon I guess. It's hard to explain but if you think about it, it's pretty common sense, so i guess realistically Goldilock zones would be apart of that whole ordeal so maybe Goldilock zones would really be some kind of attribute to this God, like an eye on a creature, rather than God it's self.

But I guess it really comes down to how you define what God is at the end of the day.
