What tools or mediums does God use to create the universe?

Matter and antimatter cancel each other out, and annihilate each other. So scientists don't know why we have more matter than antimatter. That's as far as I can go with that.

Our universe and humanity exists therefore matter and energy at the Quantum level reigns supreme regardless. Antimatter loses.

15 yrs ago ago I searched for that answer. How it “actually” happened and will happen. I found my answer.

I know fundamentalists say it is merely spoken into existence. How can anyone arrive at this conclusion?

If you believe in God then surely God would necessarily have methods of creating the universe?

Simply declaring God created the universe invites all kinds of questions as to the definition of God, and then once defined, how does that actually happen?

It sounds to me like God's creation is an appeal to the mysterious and unfathomable. It's very reasonable to question how it's actually done though. I can't imagine a believer forbidding such questioning as if it were unacceptable to do so.

I know in my religion consciousness exists in a medium that is abstract and has no known physics. This underlying medium is not consciousness but has qualitative aspects both living and non living. It's a non physical, non living environment that gives conceptions and ideas a life of their own; from which consciousness is spawned. To me the fact that humans must invent meanings, and purposes to live sheds light on the idea that meaning and purpose is essential, and fundamental to reality.

The medium I believe in is non spatial, and non local. It creates space, time, location, energy, matter, and form. Life merely inhabits this intellectual, and spiritual medium. It is spiritual in the sense that values and virtues, such as love, honesty etc. are expressed in this medium.

Even with all my beliefs I don't see a living authority such as a God could ever spawn such a reality as the one in which we all live. Perhaps God is a hunter. Perhaps finite theism is true. Im not convinced of any of it though.
The universe naturally emanates from God

So I wouldn't say he created it

But I would say he shaped it

And that he does so by shaping himself

Baháʼí Faith on life after death - Wikipedia. It states that Baháʼís believe in life after death, holding that the soul is created at the moment of conception and will retain its individuality in an eternal realm. The body, which is compared to the lamp holding the light of the soul during its time in this world, should be treated with dignity.

You should ask a friend to astral project to you and help you like in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5.:)

So in a way, if God exists he is bound by the laws of nature. Perhaps with limited but powerful control over how nature manifests itself. God being nature itself?

Makes sense to me :thumbsup:

Also, perhaps the laws of nature are attributes of God?
