Before time began there was no heaven, no earth and no space between. A vast dark ocean washed upon the shores of nothingness and licked the edges of night. A giant cobra floated on the waters. Asleep within its endless coils lay the Lord Vishnu. He was watched over by the mighty serpent. Everything was so peaceful and silent that Vishnu slept undisturbed by dreams or motion. From the depths a humming sound began to tremble, Om. It grew and spread, filling the emptiness and throbbing with energy. The night had ended. Vishnu awoke. As the dawn began to break, from Vishnu’s navel grew a magnificent lotus flower. In the middle of the blossom sat Vishnu’s servant, Brahma. He awaited the Lord’s command. Vishnu spoke to his servant: ‘It is time to begin.’ Brahma bowed. Vishnu commanded: ‘Create the world.’ A wind swept up the waters. Vishnu and the serpent vanished. Brahma remained in the lotus flower, floating and tossing on the sea. He lifted up his arms and calmed the wind and the ocean. Then Brahma split the lotus flower into three. He stretched one part into the heavens. He made another part into the earth. With the third part of the flower he created the skies. The earth was bare. Brahma set to work. He created grass, flowers, trees and plants of all kinds. To these he gave feeling. Next he created the animals and the insects to live on the land. He made birds to fly in the air and many fish to swim in the sea. To all these creatures, he gave the senses of touch and smell. He gave them power to see, hear and move. The world was soon bristling with life and the air was filled with the sounds of Brahma’s creation.

This creation mytholgy predates the Judeo mythology by as much as 2 millenia, so whos right? Two Words Baby! HUBBLE TELESCOPE, look into the night sky, every time you look up your looking back thousand, tens of thousands and millions of years into the past.

This is an image taken by the Hubble of a tiny tiny portion of the sky, it is CRAMMED FULL of GALAXIES, not stars, GALAXIES just like ours, EACH galaxy containing 100’s of millions of stars, just like our own Sun, and they are very very far away, the farthest the Hubble has been able to see is 15 Billion Light years, or 15 BILLION YEARS AGO, beyond that there actually having trouble seeing because all the other older long gone galaxies get in the way. The notion that the Earth is only 6000 years old is absolutly absurd to me, someone might as well try convincing me the Earth is flat and being held up on the back of a giant turtle, which actually was and still is a valid beleive in some parts of the world. Study geology, quantum physics, cosmology, study global continental drift, study dinosuar paleantology, study HUMAN paleantology, geez the evidence is Mt Everest sized next to a small band of religious hardheads waving there bibles around, the notion that they are relative newcomers to the earth, only 100,000 years or so, is something they cannot wrap their tiny minds around. My Universe is absolutly spectacular!!! spanning 15 billions years across, it has no edge and no center, so one can logically say each person is in a way at the center of there own universe, is radiates away from each individual, God and creation is a far more massive concept, in which we as humans are but one part but we are each all connected directly to the divine and to each molecule of the universe, because every atom in your body and mine, every atom that makes up the earth, and solar system was created when a star, or hundreds or thousands of stars past died, and exploded in a Supernova, crushing smaller atoms together creating the heavier atoms like carbon and nitrogen. We are ALL Stardust.
