One of the questions that most of the world's religions deal with is that of the creation of the world or the broader universe we call home. There are many ways to address this question, such as pronouncing a Greater power set things in motion or denying that there was a creation in the first place. What are your ideas on the creation of the universe as they relate to your chosen religious and spiritual path?

All matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed (most of you have probably read my ramble on this already), same for God. So God, matter, and energy has always and will always exist. There was no beginning and there shall be no end. The big bang that formed the universe as we know it was only one in an infinite series of big bangs. The universe continuously expands and contracts. God doesn't cause this nor is effected by this, God just is.

When a heavenly body has the right conditions (not too close or not to far from a star, etc.), life forms. Life is the manifestation of God.

That was the most intelligent and well thought out theory on God and creation I've heard.

You blended science and religion to come up with an amazing middle ground. If more people would realize you can think about both science and religion I think this world would be a much better place.

Any system that views deity as immanent as opposed to transcendent also blends very well with science most of the time. Since the divine is in all things, to study the sciences is not much different from studying the divine.

It seems like so many people feel that you should focus on one or the other though. So many Christians say that God is the only answer and that investigating science is a bad thing to do. Of course on the other hand, so many people try to use science to prove that God doesn't exist.

Both of those points of view seem to me like putting your findgers in your ears and going la la la la la

Of course, some things don't need to come into the science realm. Those things are ment for religous people/rights activests to argue over. (ex: is being gay genetic? Really, go focus on solving A.I.D.S. Leave it to them...)

The universe was created when the Shatterer broke the All into a trillion pieces and reset everything so that all the evils its children had made in the old monolithic universe called the All. This shard was broken into after the Crystal Kings invaded the The Grand Imperial Alliance the people who fled stole Crystal King ships and used an experimental technology to break into this shard and flee to earth
