Let there be light...

[gÖd1]

In the beginning, I created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and my spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then I said, "Let there be light," and there was light. I saw that the light was good, and I separated the light from the darkness. I called the light "day," and I called the darkness "night." Evening came, and then morning: the first day.

Discuss.

Why?

Does anyone else find it a little concerning that someone is masquerading as God and talking in the 1st person about creating the world?

Why?

Indeed. The topic is too broad to discuss.

Yes, it's a little disturbing to say the least.

Good, so it wasn't just me.

Perhaps G0d will enlighten us.

if you insist...

in the beginning, there was all the energy of the known universe, everything that was, is, and shall be.

this was contained, in the singularity, single, dimensionless, shapeless point of infinite energy and gravity, and nothing existed outside of this.

at the command of a specific trigger (as yet still unidentified), from within and without, there was a huge explosion. this big bang caused a brilliant light and dispersed.

this created matter of huge energy giving light with empty space between.

this was the first eon of the history of the universes creation.

is there anything more to 'discuss'?

god be with you.

Substantiate your accusation or drop it.

Whoever it is didn't capitalize the "g" anyway.
Calm down for heaven's sake.

I did substantiate the claim. Look at the second half of my statement...

talking in the 1st person about creating the world?

I find it problematic that a person would take on an avatar so similar to the title of divinity and then begin speaking about how he created the world in the first person. I recognize that it was likely not the intent of the individual (and likewise I never made the claim that it was intentional) but I do find it disturbing that at one point our reverence for God was such that we wouldn't even say his name (YHWH) and now we are comfortable enough to name ourselves 'gÖd' and speak about God's actions as though it had been us doing them.
