BBELLA: To me, this simply means the universe IS the creator - God (as some might call it). Just sayin'. 
 
We have certainly had this conversation before, but it's worth repeating. Consciousness is the key. If we all agree that the universe is the creator, we must then inevitably ask whether it is aware of what it is doing. If it isn't, there would seem to be nothing beyond the material world of the atheists, so why even mention the word God? The universe is the only name you need!
