Hello Keith, You are quite correct, in that Creation was not Created from "nothing", but rather from the Energy of God's Very Own SouL, for even God could not Create anything out of the Eternal Void in which He is enveloped. This provides for His Omnipresence, as Creation consists of His CosmiC-SouL. God is expanding His Consciousness, His Truth, and His Love, ThroughouT the Eternal Void, Eternally, Through the Creation of New Life in Cycles of the Big-Bang.

This provides God with the most efficient means of expanding His Consciousness, His Love, and His Truth, as He gains an exponential increase in the Energy of His CosmiC-SouL as He Reaps the Harvest of SouL from the New Life that He Has Sown over the lifetime of each cycle of Creation. This subsequently creates an exponential increase in the size and longivity of the next cycle of Creation, initiating an exponential increase in the Creation of New Life. In this way each cycle(the universe as we perceive it now) is likened unto an atom, in comparison to the size of every subsequent cycle.

This view is perceived in the Vishnu Religion as Universes Within Universes, and is Known to God as The Metamorphosis of the CosmiC-Butterfly.

This Understanding also provides us with an indication of God's Involvement in the Act of Creation, as Gravity, the First Law of Physics Created in the First Second of the Big-Bang, is the weakest of All the Laws of Physics. This allows for the utmost, optimum expansion of the Big-Bang, before it is contained by the gravitational force, and begins to collaspse into a singularity once more. This allows for the utmost opportunity for the Creation of Galaxies, Solar Systems, and Planets, and thus the utmost opportunity for the Creation of New Life. :o)
