In the beginning there was only the spiritual realm and in this realm was God and God alone. There were no atomic particles, no quarks and no physical laws. There was only God, spiritual laws and the nature of God - Love.

love does not rest in one place. it is active. It, in fact, very active and the direction of its activity is outward. though it may be contained for a time being, it cannot remain so forever. and thus, the love of God burst forth and manifested itself further in the creation of other spiritual entities.

but the manifestation of love did not stop there for after the development of the spiritual realm, God sought to manifest the beauty of His love in a tangible manner. and thus sprang forth the beginnings of the physical realm.

and just as there are spiritual laws in the spiritual realm, so did the physical realm begin with physical laws. with the physical laws the formation of all things physical unfolded according to the orderly randomness of God.

it is this bursting and unfolding style of God's creation of that darwin and others have sought to observe and describe in various thoeries such as the big bang theory, the theory of evolution and quantum theory.

finally, at a particular moment in this unfolding process in the formation of the physical realm, God created the greatest tangible manifestation of the beauty of love when he formed a unique being that merged the physical with the spiritual. that being is the human being - the single entity of love that is the lynchpin between the spiritual and physical realms.

nobody made God. God simply was. this is a concept that our minds have difficulty grasping because we started from something. even scientists such as hawkings attribute all physical creation back to physical laws. so kyle's question would be parallel to asking how did physical laws come to be (who made physical laws).

and that my dear brothers and sisters is the story of ALL creation. understand it and in so doing, grasp your eternal value to God and the value of all human beings to Him.
