Creation was invented by a Hebrew professor. About 1660, as a result of his most profound and exhaustive study of the scriptures, Dr. John Lightfoot, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and one of the most eminent Hebrew scholars of his time, declared,, that "heaven and earth, centre and circumference, were created all together, in the same instant, and clouds full of water," and that "this work took place and man was created by the Trinity on October 23, 4004 B.C., at nine o'clock in the morning."
      For centuries, Christians accepted this as fact. Going even further to claim that any evidence suggesting the erth was less than 5000 years old is false and was placed there by Satan
     Modern science declares the universe is the product of the "Big Bang" which science says took place less than 14 billion years ago.
     Both claims are weak on details.  HOW did God create the universe, and HOW did the Big Bang produce our complex universe?
    Science can only speculate on how the Big Bang came into being, but the Bible gives us insignt into how God produced creation..
    In Genesis 1:3 it says, "And God decided there should be light, and it was so". ויאמר אלוהים שיהיה אור
    This text indicates that God merely made a decision, a thought, and thereby  the universe came into existence.
    Since the universe (all space) had yet to be created, the only place it could exist was within the  consciousness of God - and here we reside to this day. When speaking on Mars Hill, St. Paul expressed this idea of God when he said: "God  . . . made the world and all things therein  Within Him we live and move and have our being. As certain also of your own poets have said, "

God is Spirit, infinite Mind, the immanent force and intelligence everywhere manifest in nature. God is the silent voice

     In the powerful TV series based on his book, The Power of Myth (1988) Professor Joseph Campbell announced that "each of us is the incarnation of God.  We are all manifestations of the Buddha consciousness or Christ consciousness only we don’t know it."

     In the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14) God declared in Hebrew (ehyeh asher ehyeh), "I am (all) that is.”

     The ancient Hindus also saw God as the only reality.  Everything else being less than real because all else is temporary, having a beginning and an  end. Everything is subject to change. God alone is eternal and unchangeable.  The Hindus decribed the space/time universe as being the "dream of Brahma". Since we are Brahma/God’s thoughts, we are part of God.

    God is the  active force behind all things, all of reality.
