Pre-programming evolution (Evolution)
I quite like Bella's version of the creation myth. After all in the original version of Genesis the word for the agent of creation was Elohim which is a plural.-And if the physical constants have to be right for life and humans to evolve then the idea that they were set to better values by a committee of scientists towards the end of a previous universe makes an interesting science fiction story. -Such ideas are after all the basis of Scientology which was the work of science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, and also the ancient ones of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. No doubt there are other such fantasies of more recent vintage that I've not kept up with.-But of course none of this speculation solves the problem of where whatever existed before came from in the first place. The only really satisfying conclusion to my way of thinking is that the universe came ultimately from nothing by a mixture of chance and necessity.
