Imagine there are an infinite number of universes, with varying rules and complexity and initial conditions. These universes are like a mathematical set of everything. Time and space and matter and energy and forces are just emergent properties of this particular slice of infinity. Where does this function run? Nowhere, just by being mathematically true, it is true.

Now you can imagine that most of the slices of possibilities are devoid of anything. They don't have space/energy/matter/time etcetera. But an infinitesimally small fraction of all possible universes (which is still an infinite number) do allow complex interactions, and of those slices of realities, our universe does allow things to get complex enough for matter to experience weird consciousness.

On the other hand, this does also mean that somewhere in this infinite field of infinities, there is a universe that contains an absolutely omniscient being called god that runs a simulation for his own pleasure and the result of this simulation is perfectly identical to the universe where there is no god, down to every single planck unit, and possibly beyond that. And from our point of view, there is no difference.

In this viewpoint of the universe, the answer to the question : Is there a god or is there no god? The answer is a boolean yes.
