The idea of creation might not be best for considering the origin of the Universe. Continuation might be better.

With math and telescopes we have looked back in time far enough to almost conclusively say that there was a "Big Bang," but we might have to change the moniker once we have the ability to "see" beyond it.

It's my opinion that we will discover that the point of the BB is merely a pass-through portal from the "other side" of the BB. If you subscribe to String Theory, you'll know that it's possible that it was a "soup" (sorry I'm using so many quotes but there simply aren't adequate terms for what I'm trying to describe) of strings that came through the portal and formed the Universe.

So, in that context the Universe wasn't created. It was merely continued from beyond the BB.

Just won't identify it because I think its far to much for the human mind to even grasp.

I disagree. I think intelligence is directly related to interest and imagination. It's imagination that distinguishes us from other intelligences on earth.

quote:
If an intelligent being created this Universe, it is not anything like a species only a few thousand years old...

Of course, the vexing problem with that thought is, "What created the Creator."

quote:
...that dies quickly and uses 12 percent of its brain power.

Sorry, it's a myth that people only use a small percentage of their brain. We use 100% of our brain at all times. What most people don't understand is just how powerful our brains are.
