I don’t believe the ‘big bang’ was the start of the universe.

People far older than me understood this and somehow smaller people came along and ignored that understanding.

“The eternal God is a dwelling place...”

- Deuteronomy 33:27

“Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him;
The number of His years is unsearchable.”

- Job 36:26

Laugh all you want. All I know is that for years I had nothing to do with church because it was always filled with hypcrites who sang about an ‘awesome God’ and they’d talk about how God could do anything.

And then they’d tell me about all of the rules they’d placed on God.

Now I live in Wyoming. If I want to see God I go outside and there He is. Or I look at my life now that I mostly live according to His wisdom and I see the sense of it in my husband and children and friends.

One thing I have had to learn is that you cannot ever have a true understanding of God unless you allow for that understanding to grow. Otherwise you assert that you know everything there is to know about God. And that’s where many religious people lose me is when they claim to know everything about an eternal God who has existed infinitely and eternally.

As if they could ever wrap their tiny minds around such a being. I know I can’t.

“Be still and know that I am God” - Psalm 46:10

I do this.

What’s more is I never claim to have “faith” in God. Although I do envy the people who evidence faith in Him.

I am more like Thomas the Apostle who lacked faith but who found certainty.

I mentioned going outside and seeing God. Sometimes in the middle of a clear night I will go outside and see the valley and the hills lit by starlight. And then I look up at the masterpiece of the Heavens and I see God.

Maybe the Creation and the Creator are different, maybe they are the same. One day we will certainly find out for sure. In the meantime I know that there is no more glorious cathedral built by men that can compare to what I see when I step outside.

To me it is amazing and awe inspiring to see the vastness of the universe and know that God cares about me. I’m not even a speck and He cares about me.

And I worship an eternal God. And if God is everywhere as people like to say then why can’t He >>> BE <<< everywhere?

What rule says He isn’t?
