If you ask a quantum physicists to tell you how the universe was created he would say energy which can not be created or destroyed, always has and always will be, moves through form, into from, and out of form. Now if you ask a theologian who created the universe he/she would say God and God can not be created or destroyed, always has and always will be, moves through form, into from, and out of form. God and Energy are the same thing in my opinion so as stated in the bible we are in God's image and everything in the universe is made up of energy/God... Food for thought.
Good observations mackenziecarr.....
Regarding the origin of the raw material of which the universe is made, (like you say) scientists have learned that matter is a concentrated form of energy. This is demonstrated with the explosion of nuclear weapons. Astrophysicist Josip Kleczek states: "Most and possibly all elementary particles may be created by materialization of energy."The Universe (Boston, 1976), Vol. 11, p. 17.
From where could such energy come? After asking, "Who has created these things [the stars and planets]?", the Bible states regarding Jehovah God, "Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing." (Isa. 40:26) So God himself is the Source of all the "dynamic energy" that was needed to create the universe..........VEW
