Could it be that we are one of our Creator's video games? Like our video game programmers code "a formulation describing a relationship observed to be invariable between or among phenomena for all cases in which the specified conditions are met" For example that would be the law of gravity in our Creator's software; as well as, all of chemistry and physics. We and everything evolved from that. So yes we were created.
So we, our universe, good vs. evil, are just two kids playing a video game. What seems billions of years to us is just a Saturday afternoon for them -- and it's getting close to time for one of the kids to go home for supper.
