On Facebook, a person made a post on his own wall about the evolution of the living world. At one point in the post, it was written that if for some reason the deer population increased excessively, it would create a shortage of plants. Therefore, just as an algorithm corrects errors, nature also would restore that balance by increasing the number of predators or through some other means.

In a post on a Facebook discussion forum, a commenter wrote: "All I know is that there is no place for God in any scientific theory." The response I gave him is provided here:

Scientists are now saying that spacetime is not fundamental and that it has emerged from something non-spatiotemporal. The word non-spatiotemporal is the adjective form of no spacetime. That means as per scientists the source from which spacetime has emerged is not within any spacetime. As nothing can exist without spacetime, so the source from which spacetime has emerged can be called the source of all existence. And this source of all existence is not within any spacetime.

I made a post like this on my Facebook page: "There is a creator of this universe—from this, can we conclude that the creator is omniscient and omnipotent?"

In the comment section of that post, a Facebook friend wrote that if I had faith in the Upanishads, I would say that the creator of the world is omnipresent. There is no point in His created world where He is not present! He exists, or His influence is active, at every point in spacetime.
