So you're saying that this 'creator' was there at the beginning of time, but is no longer needed? Kind of like everything was created in that moment of the initial 'Big GONG' or 'Big BONG'?
And there's no way to tell, because if this creator did, in fact exist, he isn't talking to us.
Hmmmm....
Well, I kind of like your Big BONG theory.
But it does beg the questions: Who or what created the creator and what existed before the beginning of Time?
Everyone knows you can't prove the creator exists, you have to take it as a matter of FAITH
Perhaps a group of us should look into this. Call it the Congregation for the Doctrine of Temporal Faith, or something. Nobody would expect that.
Are you suggesting we form some type of inquisition? because if you are, I want to be grand high inquisitor.
