Paradoxical Resolutions?

Just for fun................
Last night I watched a program about the ‘information’ paradox (or the Hawkin paradox).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox
“It suggests that physical information could "disappear" in a black hole. It was a contentious subject for science since it violated a commonly assumed tenet of science—that information cannot be destroyed.”
In Hawkin’s later paper, he countered that given an infinite number of universes, that if there was just one universe that did not have any black holes, this universe would maintain the conservation of information, even if all other universes lost all their information through black holes. Thus this ‘paradox’ is no longer a paradox.
This program got me thinking about the infinite possibilities of the universe. With an infinite number of possibilities, anything is possible, right? This got me thinking about the possible existence of God. According to Hawkin’s theory that resolved the information paradox, the possibility of a universe without black holes can exist. Could it also be possible for the existence of God in one of the universes? To me, with an infinite number of possibilities, God certainly is one of those infinite possibilities. And by the traditional definition of God, if God existed in one universe, wouldn’t he/she permeate through all?
