"The Universe" is far to 'deep' for most mortals to grasp. "God" was invented to give simple minded people an entity to fear and obey. Whatever works. [/quote] Ahhh well, the magic of the Big Bang doesn't cut it for me. [/quote] The "Big Bang" is kindergarten BS! [/quote] first lets look at the typical artist rendition of big bang http://nothingoutofnothing.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/bigbang.jpg now lets look at a typical spore print and deduce what we see in it. http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=I.4955443865521472&pid=15.1 thus the creation of matter with white overlaying black. white contains the full spectrum of color,sound,dimension..etc. and we know it is of positive polarity dominance. a spore print carries the alpha and omega and survives the vacuum of space. [/quote] It all goes back to the question of consciousness. If the universe was created from an unconscious act, how did consciousness come to be part of it? Evolution...? Is consciousness a mutant gene that just came into being somehow? [/quote] our existence including the solar system and planets and infinite possibilites is the opposite of nothingness in a way. nothingness is unstable inherently so it explodes creating that image I posted and thus matter and the potentiality for life and consciousness is born. why the whole song and dance is not really worth pondering anymore..for me at least. the symbol for dna with the alpha and omega is contained in the spore print along with all the other stuff. its funny though how nothingness creates the matter universe and the anti-matter universe as well in that explosion. as above so below and all that jazz. [/quote] Nothingness is a hard concept to grasp, yet that is also what was, according to my religious perspective, before God initiated life. You say it happened by itself, out of an instability, but that implies some sort of molecule or electricity, something to be unstable. I really think one day science and religion will meet on this, because both pursue the truth, and there is only one truth about creation. I'm not sure I understand the significance of the alpha /omega symbol? Where is it on the spore pic you posted? [/quote] oh you won't see it in the spore print.. it is contained within. the point is that it's in the schematic for the universe just like it is in the spore print..it doesn't need to be seeded or have sex etc.. all the info is contained for both male and female and even the ability to create the network to grow on(myceleum in the case of an actual mushroom spore, a network that spreads nutrients around to all plant life and thus making human life possible) [/quote] It is a fascinating idea, do you mean the symbol is a kind of genetic code, that is contained in everything? That sounds similar to the Higgs Boson, giving mass to everything. [/quote] you got it~although I've never really read about the Higgs Boson..seems to be a piece to this puzzle that was known to all long ago, I believe. [/quote] There's info on it here: http://cms.web.cern.ch/node/1187 I have a theory I like to speculate about, that if this fundamental smallest building block in the universe was conscious, or able to hold w/e it is that makes consciousness, then it would explain how God is able to be omni-present and omniscient. I guess you already know, that God calls Himself the alpha and omega? 'I am the Alpha and Omega', says the Lord God, 'who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.' [/quote] sounds right to me [/quote] It would be very exciting if science were to discover this consciousness factor in the smallest building block, that essentially gives everything substance, creates it in fact..!

Original Message
It seems to me people use it, who are embarrassed to be lumped in with religious folk, it's like a politically correct term to describe the Creator.
The Universe is a creation, not the Creator.
