A post showed up on r/Doomers recently promoting god as the universe. There are better options. It's possible to counter this and give a positive argument for a God independent of the universe. Will defend the premises with content in brackets.
1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause (says our intuitions by every day experience)
2. The universe began to exist (says science or big bang cosmology)
3. The universe has a cause (from 1 and 2)
4. The vedic god is the universe (OPs claim)
5. The vedic god is caused (from 3 and 4)
Perfect being theology says God is that than which none greater can be conceived and therefore worthy of worship. A being that did not need to be brought into existence is greater than one that has. So the vedic god is not God and whatever caused the universe is greater. The western notion of God has always claimed that God made the universe. Which fits nicely with premises 1 to 3.
