Goldfish Bowl and Our Universe
Everybody knows that this universe is not infinitely large. It has a finite size: a sphere with a radius of 46.5 billion light years.
No matter how large this universe is, it is a kind of a fish bowl, since it has a finite size.
Then what is outside this fish bowl? As there is usually a keeper of fish and the fish bowl outside the bowl, there must be somebody who keeps this fish-bowl universe.
It is very natural for us, a kind of gold fish in the bowl, to call him God. Then what world is it? What is outside this universe? How God behaves there? And isn't the world outside our universe also a kind of fish bowl? Then what is outside it? Can there be another God for God to us?
Another question is why God created this universe or the fish bowl to eventually create mankind. From emergence of vacuum energy and space and time, which occurred 13.8 billion years ago, to creation of stars and our galaxy through the Inflation of the very small, microscopic incipient universe and the Big Bang is a long and complicated process. Further, from the creation of our galaxy to the creation of our solar system is also a long and complicated process. And from the formation of the earth to evolution of living things to mankind is a very long way taking 4.5 billion years.
Why did God have to take such a complicated process to create mankind with higher intelligence and special spirits?
Why was God not satisfied only to see battles between God's angels and Satan in the spiritual sphere? Why did He need this material world for this spiritual war between good and evil?
We have to think this way, because the only reason we can think for which God created this universe must be to set up the battle field between good and evil or good spirits and bad spirits.
One thing true is that our mind and spirit cannot be expressed with any combinations of elemental particles, atoms, and molecules. It is like a phenomenon of work of force, such as electromagnetic force. Like a flash of lighting that runs from a cloud in the sky to the earth, our mind and soul works and exists. It is apparently energy taking a special form inside our brain. But our mind is so real and manifest to ourselves. It really exists so steadily, though our science cannot yet show its concrete physical form and pattern to us.
However, a lesson is simple.
As we can observe fish in a goldfish bowl, God must be observing human beings in the universe, since both the bowl and the universe are finite.
And, more terrible is that our mind and soul must be also observed and checked by God.
Q:
Is it true that God sees what is in our hearts and minds and what our motives are if they are good or evil?
God know it all what man is made of inside and sees everything we are made of, and we cannot hide anything from God...
We may be fooling man,but none of us can fool God...

Yes. In 1 Kings 8:39 we are told about God, "For you alone know the hearts of all men". 'Heart' is symbolic of our deepest, inner being - the real us, not what others observe about us.
Psalm 7:9 tells us that God searches minds and hearts.
Now, here's the amazing bit! Jesus also reads minds and hearts! Read John 20:24-31 to see that, plus Luke 9:47, Mat. 9:4 & 12:25. Jesus told us that there is nothing hidden that will not be exposed - Mat 10:26. That is why all judging has been committed to the Son, by the Father, for the Son sees everything the Father does and agrees with everything the Father says. "I and the Father are one."Nonetheless we may be puzzled about the super-structure of the material universe, the outer universe, the spiritual universe, and eternity.

The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between c. 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature,[1] and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature.[2] The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language.[3] It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.
On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven;[4] but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God.

Probably, outside our material universe or the great fish bowl, there is nothing material. But only the spiritual universe must exist. And there concepts of a universe, structure, and eternity must be very different from what we think about them in this material universe or the great fish bowl with full of stars.
Finally life and love are the key to understanding motivation of God to take these complicated processes up to the birth of you.
