God is an unnecessary hypothesis.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:1-5)

Logos is source. Logos is coincident with God. Logos is God.

Logos is generative order, animating principle, creative dialectic, emergent reality.

Albert Einstein said, "If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world..."

Does this structure imply an ethic? Much of the observed structure either emerges from or is manifested as relationships.

Are some relationships structurally stronger, better, more creative, more beautiful? If so, how do these relationships originate? How are they sustained?

Recently my son, who seems to share more similarities with his mother, asked what we share. I wrote back, "If my father had been more like me, I think I would be much more like you, and you would be much more like me. You are more like the me who is still trying to be."

Logos is an inevitable hypothesis.
