The immensity of the universe (The nature of a \'Creator\')

dhw: It is the sheer immensity of the universe and the apparently impersonal process of materials forever appearing and disappearing that makes the concept of a single “universal mind" so difficult to accept. Do you truly believe there is a mind “within and without” the explosive destruction of a vast solar system 570 light years away - let alone a mind that created it all in order to produce humans?-Simple answer: as a playwright you created whole worlds of entertainment from your brain. Why can't God use his mind to make the universe? Further, if you have followed my thoughts, He uses any evolutionary process to create the ever complex universe, and like animal evolution, things live and things die, like that solar system. Our system will die also in 5 billion years, but we are here now, and perhaps other human civilizations will appear elsewhere in the vastness, after we are gone.
