Are you now admitting that you don't know how the universe came to be? That would seem to go against your core beliefs that you often post about on this forum.
What are you even talking about? Where have I ever said anything about the way or methods that God used to create the universe? The closest that we have to God's methods is that He spoke some details of the formation of the Earth and life on it into being. God is a spirit. How does a spirit speak? I never expressed how God speaks.
I was talking about the fact that you believe your God created the universe but failed to mention it in your original reply. Normally you never miss an opportunity to tell everyone about this so I thought that maybe you'd been rethinking your position. Nothing was mentioned about the way or methods until you raised it above.


Personally I think it's all rather simple, everything is energy and in a constant state of transition from one form of energy to another.
We all seem to have the ability to think things. It is a wonderful thing that we can think. Now lets think in ways that show us the truth, rather than simply making up ideas with out thought.
I agree, thinking is a wonderful thing. It allows us the freedom to explore ideas, notions, reasons, meaning and all sorts of wonderful things within ourselves, free from the judgment of others. It's only when we convey these thoughts that we often open ourselves to the ridicule of others who feel that what we are conveying is simply a whim and not something that has been mulled over for a long time and reached after much investigation, exploration and education.


Just because we don't currently understand the how and why does not mean that we'll never be able to understand it.
This doesn't mean that we will ever be able to understand it, either.
While what you say is true, unlike yourself I have greater faith in the abilities of human beings. If given enough opportunity I believe there isn't much that we won't be able to one day explain that doesn't require a faith based in religion. I feel that the only thing that could potentially stop us is some catastrophic event that either wipes us out or removes our collective knowledge.
