Once upon a time in a region far away there was nothing. The world had not been created. The stars just images invisible. No movement, there was no breath; there was no life, no joy, no sadness, nothing. All was blank.
Throughout history of beings they argue over how and why this world we know was created. It's not a simple belief for some, its not seen as black and white for others. There is a great divide among the species concerning this issue.
Scientifically trained verses those of religious belief. I have my own views.
Once upon a time in a place very distant from here a family in a 1400 foot RV were on an exodus, a family vacation for their millennium. The mother of this family told her submissive mate in a sweet loving way "Hey baldy, you fat piece of slime, the frigging garbage needs to be taken out! I refuse to live in this filth for one second longer as we hurl through space. This is the last time I take a vacation with you and your stinking, ungrateful family of 3,000."
Being a loving submissive mate Baldy rushed to dump the garbage when the other members of the traveling party were not looking since there were strict laws about RV dumping in lands of nothing. As they passed the star that did not shine, in the open oasis of nothing the bags of garbage were dumped.
The bags of garbage fermented, expanding until the seams split apart, flinging bits and pieces of garbage everywhere. A thunderous crash resulted; of course this noise was not heard or even felt. Out of the garbage grew mold across the clean and pure star. The near empty soda cans filled the hollows of the star, undigested seeds burrowed under the soft coatings of the star. Worst was the gold fish that was thought to be dead who had been flushed in the toilet's holding tank with a solemn pray; swam once more. The egg believed to be rotten but actually fertilized was tossed into the trash against the wise mother-in-law's advice and it hatched from the heat of fermentation.
We all know what happened then. The egg creature looked into the pool of sparkling carbonation saw a flash of gold and desired this piece of gold. The fish tried to swim away but loneliness held it back. The fish was extremely lonely; the creature from the egg was also lonely. After a long courtship the two mated. What a disaster that was as history has taught us! Mutants began to invade the star. Soon there was fighting among the mutants. This lead to war. War lead to more mutants. Now 250 million years later we are still questioning how it all began.
