I have read all these sophisticated arguments using references of researchers i have never heard of. One thing is for sure. "Nothing comes from nothing". The unmanifest universe came from an energy holding the seeds of our universe. Logic demands this. We are struggling to understand the physics of the unmanifest but we can see particles disappearing into it and other particles re emerging from it like a quantum foam researchers at Bell laboratories and others have reported. Also galaxies are swallowed up into black holes while other stars are born out of the unmanifest. We, our mind body and heart were produced in this process. Surely our seeds are in the unmanifest.

Given that the universe came into being about 16 billion years ago and it came out of an energy which is beyond time space and object the design of the universe and the design of us the observers of the universe must have been inherent in the unmanifest dimension (the nothingness before the big bang) just as the design of a tree is inherent in a seed. This seems to be the end of logic and fact.
The rest is an unanswered question. Is God separate from us planning and designing our life and the universe? We need more facts to find the answer.
There is one more fact that is overlooked, it is the elephant in the room. In our conscious state we ask and inquire and don't get solutions so we suppose or calculate probabilities but it is just the mind that is puzzling over these questions and we can see the mind puzzling and then identify with it. The result of identification is to pronounce 'I am puzzled'. whereas in fact it is not 'I' the witness that is puzzled it is the mind that is puzzled and I am conscious of the puzzled mind.
If I know that the mind is puzzled, if I know that the mind is sad, if I know that the mind is cheerful and energetic then the mind is the object and I am the witness of the mind. This I is consciousness, a unique human quality.
Consciousness must be included in the logical arguments for creation because consciousness has content, it is not just an ability to know, it holds the seeds of creation or unmanifest desires.
So now the question of creation goes deeper. Where did consciousness originate from? This is definitely unanswerable until we can fine tune our consciousness to be able to see it. Then the next question arises. Can consciousness see itself? Also is consciousness and all its content God?
