"If you're referring to any specific god, it's worth keeping in mind that cultural shifts over countless millions of years are going to be massive. It's extremely unlikely that your religion even still exists, where I'm from. With that said... While in prior eras there was no method of decisively proving or disproving the existence of gods, there's too much evidence of tampering in the information layers of reality, now that we're capable of observing and enacting Interference Phenomena ourselves for there to not be some form of higher entity capable of fucking with the Noosphere in ways we've not yet managed ourselves."
Ellen simply shrugs.
"Could such existences be called gods? Sure. Is there one omnipotent one, as some religions suggest, or multiple lesser deities administrating particular aspects of reality? No way to tell. Even if we can spot the tampering, we've yet to actually catch them in the act. Are they as benevolent as most religions claim? Could go either way, though if they are benevolent... that speaks to an inability to prevent disasters, and vice versa. Is it worth having faith in such elusive existences? Faith in higher powers can be a good source of emotional stability and comfort, but blaming everything good or bad in your life on higher powers can tend to blind you to your own failings and successes alike, so I've never been inclined towards religion myself."
