Look very closely at what you are saying. By the principle of economy, we should postulate as less as possible. Do we really need use the word "god", when we know full well the connotations that it represent? You can very well substitute the word for nature, and the sentense wouldn t make a difference.

If our universe is contained in something that we cannot weigh or measure, how does it follow, logically, that this "something" has any of the attributes usually associated with godhead? It may perfectly well be a part of Nature, but a part about which we have NO knowledge. We (so far) can only weigh, measure, and sense attributes of our own local region of 4 (or 11, or whatever) dimensional spacetime. Why should that which is beyond our ken be assumed to be supernatural?

Totally off point: When the Hebrews borrowed Yahweh from the Canaanites, why did they leave Ashira, his consort, behind?
Ishtar, also.Athirat, Athra, Athyr, and Hathor were all variations of the same
I would say that an actual god (as opposed to Prime Mover, or First Cause) would not be subject to the laws of thermodynamics (hence her creative capacity). I would consider such a being as supernatural, whereas I would consider a being constrained by physical laws to be a part of nature (even if she is not detectable in our little corner of spacetime). Such a being would be considerably less powerful than the traditional conception of God in the Judeo-Christian mold.
I think you misunderstood me. My point was that a god who is constrained by physical laws would be less powerful than the traditional transcendent, omnipotent God.Just the opposite, I think....God created the universe. God is not a product of the universe. God is not mortal. God is not physical. Think bigger.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the OT says anywhere that Yahweh claims that he is only god, but commands the Hebrews not to worship any others.
