cosmology, chemistry or any other branch of science can tell you, me or anybody, how we came to be. Not even the very edge of high energy physics or astrophysics knowledge will teach anybody how SpaceTime evolved from nothing

Fair enough. I'll concede that point for now. However, I'd like to know your take on a certain oral history of middle eastern peoples from a couple thousand years ago and how it can possibly be accurate in such matters.

.......certain oral history of middle eastern people..... If you are talking about the 'Old Testament', I do have certain openion about it. Particularly about "In the begining there was the WORD and word was God..." The way I interpret this is: In the begining there was Pure Thought, Pure Logic (mathematics?),from which physical things(the Laws of Physics) evolved. By the way, please read on Spin Network Theory and Loop Quantum gravity, it's very interesting how SpaceTime can evolved from pure logic.

Hmmm, this reminds me of a bonmot from Dawkins:

"There may be some deep questions about the cosmos that are forever beyond science. The mistake is to think that they are therefore not beyond religion, too."
