This is the religion vs. science thing that gets debated a lot; both are trying to understand the universe through their own paramaters, but both have self-imposed limitations that restrict what can be understood. I kinda believe a little in both, but fully in neither.
From what I understand, there's a purposeful intelligent design to the universe that creates life. But this intelligence also jumpstarts things into evolution. In the beginning (although its debatable if there ever truly was a beginning) the Supreme Being knew It was whole and perfect; It contained all knowledge, because It's the Source of all things. It perfectly knew Itself. But instead of just knowing, It wanted to experience Itself, so with a thought It burst Itself forward and designed all the realms of physicality, spirituality, different dimensions, etc. in an instant (the Big Bang). You hear this concept that we're all connected, but people have a hard time believing it. I liken it to a human body: the hair on your head, your nose, and your kneecap are all located on different parts of the body and all have different textures. If they were to come into contact with each other they'd think they were all foreign from one another. But obviously if you take a step back you can see that they're all part of the same body, though they wouldn't think so. I'm studying sacred geometry right now and a lot of it deals with the certain shapes and formulas that help spurn creation; like the Flower of Life and the Fibonacci Spiral are found all throughout the universe, from the tiniest of plants, to even the way a galaxy rotates. When Earth became ready for physical life, souls came into the realm and projected themselves into phyical form (God creating Adam and Eve). Some souls chose not to come into physicality, but instead remain in ethereal form (angels) and assist those that were in the physical (note: becoming physical is very hard and restrictive for many souls). I could go on about this, but you get the gist.
Religion says that God created everything in 7 days; but we gotta remember that modern religion ain't that old. Several thousand years ain't shyt when compared to billions/trillions of years. And who's to say that ancient people who pre-date the Old Testament even constructed time the same way we do? They could've used 5 days in a week or some other number, but we use 7 bc that's what our modern calendar is. So that "God created everything in 7 days" thing is a way for modern humans to comprehend the vastness of cosmic time. Maybe its an allegory that everything was created/evolved in 7 phases, and each phase lasted a billion years or so? Who knows?
I'll say this tho about evolution bruh: I wholly believe in conscious evolution, but not necessarily in how they say mankind physicaly evolved. Like I don't think we come from apes or anything like that because that would imply that all apes should've eventually became human. And don't get me started on Darwin and his racist tendacies to categorize groups of people in an attempt to put Europeans at the top of the intellectual ladder.
This just opened my mind, I'm taking this point of view. Is it possible for you to connect my shallow one sentence opinion on life is that since its said everything is made of energy then I believe energy is "God".
