You need to rethink

You need to stay within context. I never denied that Creation took place or even hinted that Creation will not end.

What I said was that the Creation was designed in such a way that it is always moving, going nowhere, spinning around in circles without a starting point and without a finishing point (in this motion), and that we don't make things run around in circles! In fact, "running around in circles" (which includes the entire Universe) is a derogatory remark in the English language -- implying a waste of time!

My point was that we don't think, create or do anything like God, and that saying that God's Creation "makes sense" is an insult to God's wisdom.

Actually, As far as we can tell, the entire Creation is going around in circles! as far as we can tell, the universe is expanding from a central location, vice going around in circles. No beginning and no end! Oddly, I assumed that was within the context.

"makes sense" to a limited extent. As in a child mixing colors of paint. We can understand which colors need to be mixed with which other, to get a third color. We have no concept of light, reflection of different wavelengths, the chemical composition of the paint... The limited part we do understand, "makes sense". The whole of God's creation; no way. Is the current context clear enough, or shall I try once more?
