A Concept of Creation
Everything is made from atoms
atoms are made from neutrons, protons, and electrons
neutrons, protons, and electrons are made from quarks
energy makes up 98% of every quark
Imagine yourself as the energy of the Universe
existing with no beginning
perhaps you contract down into a ball
becoming the singularity
exploding out into the universe
a massive explosion of pure energy
an explosion so intense
there are no boulders
just pure energy
the coldness of space begins to cool your energy
you condense down
forming the smallest atom
hydrogen
clouds of hydrogen gas come together creating a nebula
gravity the attraction of matter to matter
forces the atoms together
pressure forcing the atoms into an explosion of fusion
part of you becomes
the first massive star
for the first time
light springs out into the universe
other stars start to form
over time, with the reaction of fusion
large stars condense, climbing up through the periodic table
until reaching lead they explode
going supernova creates the rest of life's elements
creating particles, meteorites, silver, nickel, and lead
all of the elements on the periodic table
slowly filling the universe with loose particles and dust
gravity pulls particles together forming planets
the opposing forces of gravity and the vacuum of space
explain the tug-of-war, that keeps every planet in motion
the earth comes into existence
a barren clump of unformed clay
Hydrogen mixes with oxygen to form water
your thoughts create designs
you start by making the simplest form of life
the one cell of microscopic life
slowly building on one idea after another
you make plants, absorbing carbon and creating air
you make animals, that breathe oxygen and create carbon
everything is designed to stay in balance
to create an atmosphere, protection against the meteorites
the secret of life is balance
you make predators for every creation
to ensure, the world stays in balance
if one animal leaps above the balance
overpopulation would destroy their existence
each is dependent on the other
ensuring a permanent food supply,
you go on designing, more and more complex life
creating brains, nervous systems, hearts, and muscles
creating death, to stop overpopulation
the earth would not support continual population growth
you create perpetual change
opposing sexes, to ensure new life,
you create animals with the ability to change
to suit their environment
you create people with your ability to also create
