If God were a child at my school, I would say he had a poor attendance record. This is because the God that most people believe in, the Abrahamic God doesn’t actually exist. Where is God then? The answer is: Nowhere. God is just a God of the gaps.

He is mythical creature that should be treated with the same scorn and disbelief as unicorns or whangdoodles. I mean think about it. It’s quite silly. When an airplane crashes, people exclaim “Ah God spared the innocent baby.” A lot of people do not stop and say, “Wow, God killed 300 people today.” Good acts are attributed to God and bad ones are just tests for us. God seems flaky based on those facts. Shouldn’t we should be more skeptical about whether or not he exists in the first place, much less bothering to ask where he is?

He appears in gaps: In the gaps which exist in our current knowledge. It is simple enough to see. Long ago when we first made fire, God did it. When we heard thunder, God did it. Every new and wondrous experience was attributed to God. Phenomena which we did not understand, new experiences, and discoveries. Who dunnit? God.

Yet, slowly we got smarter. We started to look to the heavens and analyze. We looked around for the source of the fire; we asked what produced the lightning and thunder. We questioned! We learned and expanded our minds. And the gaps were filled.

God no longer made it rain. As a result we don’t beat our chests and dance to make it rain today. Instead we rely on the water cycle. We rely on the properties of matter to keep our crops from failing. God don’t do it. He began to be pushed back slowly. We don’t rely on God anymore to save our children, at least not those of us who want results, we rely on medicine. God didn’t even take us to the moon; we took ourselves there by understanding how things in the physical world work. God hasn’t done much, and so while some would like to mystically say that God is everywhere and everything, I beg to differ.

Gaps will continue to be filled and we will learn more and more until God becomes even more obscure than he is today. Thus, God is nowhere, he just exists in the gaps in human knowledge of the physical universe.
