my little theory of god

Where's your evidence? If no evidence or data that can be at least potentially falsified, I fail to see how you can apply the label of "theory." Don't you mean wild speculation? As speculations go, it's interesting, however.
 
OK, we can refer to the collective intelligence of human beings as God, but what's the point? It has no supernatural qualities normally associated with that label, so perhaps it's misleading.
 
I think I know everything but I dont know what word you use, and im confused sort of,lol. Really though my theory would be somethink like the collective knowledge and the combination of the instinct to survive the difference between what is and what could be, the truth. now im lost though.

Collective intelligence could certainly have the power of a god but it couldn't have the omnipotency of the biblical / koranic god, at least not yet.
 
For all the technological advances in electronic communications, people still have a hard time trying to understand or grasp the meaning of others.
 
should you include all animals? we are animals and we evolved. would this mean god evolved?

and i think maybe you should replace "intelligance" with "consciousness":

Some people are of the opinion that this accounts for the "lesser" gods or pagan gods (which are essentially akin to jungian archetypes). The "Old Crone" for example. If there is such a thing as a "Creator" or "Creating" God of the Universe, it would be beyond this though since the CU is the result of man's psyche rather than vice versa.
 
I don't really think I know everything, I can hardly think of any one single thing that I know everything about.

Maybe not in any sort of absolute, real way, but if one interprets everything as if God (or a god, or a pantheon, or whatever) did it, and everyone else does, did God not do it?

So not so much a collective intelligence, but more a collective ignorance. Perhaps even a collective willful stupidity.

This reminds me of the idea that the brain is not a generative organ but filters out the totality of information (according to Aldous Huxley anyway). Could god be this totality of information that we have filter out ?
 
People why don't you give God a little break...

He's tired of being discussed...
