Grant, By saying "God", we're talking about a concept. It's not the real thing, but just a word. When talking about something that we're both familiar with on a daily basis, like a can of Coke, we have a very good idea of what the concept represents. Even this concept is dependent on the country we live in as well as a time frame, as a can of Coke looks different in different countries and at different times. When talking about a supernatural power that created the universe, I think we've moved beyond the point of being able to meaningfully communicate what the concept represents using a single word. You're trying to conceptualize something that is beyond concepts. Here's another example - when it's 7 AM EST, what time is it on the sun? You asked: What do you believe created our universe? I don't know. Craig
