Something versus Nothing

Abstract

In this essay, I argue that even if the Universe started from nothing as claimed by some scientists and not from something as claimed by the believers, the inevitable conclusion is that in both cases there must have to be some sort of Consciousness at the beginning. I will also argue that if Universal Consciousness (God) created this Universe and if It wanted man to be the master of Its creation, then Universal Consciousness would willingly choose to be the “God of the Gaps”.  So it is quite logical that Universal Consciousness which created man with some purpose will always prefer to be the God of the Gaps.
