How Did God Create The Universe?
This is a question everybody seems to
want to know...
How Did God Create The Universe?
They want to know what materials He used.
They want to know did He used computers?
They want to know did He used machines to
create the earth and the universe?
They want to know exactly what process He used
to create the earth and everything in it, including
the whole entire universe!
They want to know...
How Did God Create The Universe?
They want to know...
How Did He Create The Universe?
They want you to explain it all how He did it.
To be continued...

See, if GAWD can create, then we can.
That GAWD creates ex nihilo, is theological,
that we also could create ex nihilo is logical,
if we only knew the recipe.
Therefore the question HOW DOES CREATION WORK?
is justified and has to be put forward to the creationist creatures.
Creationists are stupid. Kick their asses.

He received the package and after gleefully rubbing His hands together for a few moments, reached forward and pulled at what He though was the knot holding the package together.
Imagine His surprise when He realized that it was actually the trigger...
That was right *after* the Big Bang, with the string dangling from His fingers, the fringes of His beard gently smoldering, and the Road Ru^H^H^HSatan standing a short distance away, who then issued a distorted raspberry before zooming away.
T-t-t-hat's all, folks!

Apparently Douglas Adams chose to give his planet designer
the sorrowful secret of the outright rudest name that the
BBC would allow in a radio programme. This involved a
sort of Dutch auction and the point of agreement was
"Slartibartfast".
Of course that was ohmygod years ago.
I wonder if he came to this from the direction of having
the mysterious man say mysteriously "My name is not important"
and then have this being the particular reason he didn't want
to mention it.

I think you've rather missed the point. The OP's assertion was that
"everybody seems to want to know." I was merely providing a counter-example.

rather then getting all hot and bothered about an issue I'm not
discussing at all.
I'm not saying anything about God. I'm saying something about me,
because I'm a person, and therefore part of "everybody". The OP's
assertion (notwithstanding the weasel word "seems") is false, because I
am a counter-example.

how God went about
creating a universe..
you know..the details,
the tools he used..
the step by step
process He used from
begining to end...
They want to know
how He first went
about creating
life on earth...
I mean...
this information
is too dangerous
for yous to know.
You're liable to
build an atomic bomb
or something to kill people
for personal reasons.
You might even build
volcanos and asteroids
to destroy your enemies...
Sorry, you're not ready.
You're just going
to have to accept the brute fact
that God did it.

The problem with Albert Einsten was he waited a little too late to be asking WHY questions...

numbers of spirits that form the mythic background FOR the universe to retcon
so that This Was Always so, so the origin's changing every so often as well.
By the end of the War in Heaven, its beginning may well have become totally
unrecognizable.
