Best Argument For God, Simply Stated

It came up one time in math class in 9th grade... The teacher was talking about the edge of the universe, not claiming to have any answers, just talking. Does it go on forever? Do you hit a brick wall? Is it wrapped? What's outside the wrapped universe? If that doesn't blow your mind... Well, it should blow your mind. I had already considered this conundrum, but I thought about it more since he mentioned it, and it did blow my mind at the time. At the time. None of the options satisfy human reasoning. I was thinking about this question when I was making my insect universe game, and thinking about philosophical bugs asking, "What's outside that double rock wall that surrounds the universe?" This is a silly question to me, it's a subscript out of bounds error. Probably the same thing with God, and humans asking what happens at the edge of the universe. A subscript out of bounds error, is the answer. The same question, once philosophical, sounds stupid to me now, and might evoke an eyeroll. I've moved past this attitude that the only thing that is real is this precious 3D grid. There is a real grid, yes... Don't worry so much about physical space, it's just part of a divine computer program. THAT's why I believe in God, or one reason. Consciousness is what's real, not physical space. Oh, that old "hard problem" again. We don't know the answer yet, the atheists say... But we will have one, EVENTUALLY.
