Does an almighty God exist if suffering persists today?
Each morning we blend the latest global metrics with today’s crowd mood. The output is a probabilistic take on whether an omnipotent, benevolent presence aligns with observable reality.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Global suffering
65
How heavy the world feels today. Higher values reduce the probability of omnipotent benevolence.
Collective happiness
45
Moments of joy and relief that counterbalance pain across communities.
Political stability
40
Democratic resilience, institutional trust, and peaceful governance.
Economic stability
48
Supply chains, employment, and the absence of financial shocks.
Military stability
35
Escalation risk, ceasefires, and the presence of violent conflict.

Entries feed the crowd series (yellow) in the probability arc.
We store only an anonymized hash plus your gauge value—nothing personally identifiable.
Probability arc over time
Blue traces the weighted AI probability. Yellow tracks the crowd mood. Watch where they diverge.
The shaded area captures the ebb and flow of belief given observed suffering and acts of care. Hover points to inspect precise probabilities.
AI scans the ledger
Each midnight we prompt a state-of-the-art model to rate suffering, happiness, and global stability on a 0–100 scale.
People keep us honest
Once per day, visitors mark the mood gauge. Lived experience tempers the machine’s planetary vantage point.
Weights stay transparent
A published config file defines how each dimension influences the omnipotence probability, inviting debate and remixing.
Methodology in four moves
1
Ingest the world
Daily AI harvests synthesize news, research, and historical context into five quantitative indicators.
2
Invite the crowd
Individuals log their mood once per day. We enforce it with cookies and IP hashing to keep the signal fair.
3
Blend with weights
Configured weights translate raw indicators into an omnipotence probability where higher suffering counts against the hypothesis.
4
Chart the trajectory
We store every daily snapshot, letting you explore how probabilities shift as the world bends toward hope or despair.
Frequently pondered
Why let AI opine on theology?
Because omnipotence is a cosmic scale. AI offers the closest available proxy to omniscient synthesis, while staying transparent about its limits.
What powers the daily probability?
We blend the five AI-rated indicators with the crowd mood, using a weights file you can audit. Personal reflections ground the numbers while AI surveys the globe.
How often can I submit the gauge?
Once every 24 hours. A cookie and hashed IP prevent repeat submissions so everyone has a single vote per day.
Do you store personal data?
We only keep a salted hash of your IP, an anonymous session id, and the gauge value. No names, emails, or reflections are collected.
Disclaimer
This laboratory is an imaginative & hypothetical exercise in reasoning about omnipotence and suffering. We neither endorse nor critique any specific religion; instead, we explore how an omnipotent, benevolent concept of God might intersect with observable reality and human experience.
