God is the origin.

Out of darkness, God created light first.........."The Big Bang"

Spontaneous creation of energy and matter out of the nothingness of empty space.

Out of this lifeless matter and energy...

God created organic life.....

Life evolved to a point that it is capable of reason and cognizance...

Homo Sapiens.

God could now develop a relationship w/ this form of Life that He created....

Relgion makes perfect sense to me.

The only thing that bothers me is why Life must consume other Life to survive...it seems harsh for a loving God. It took me a while to come to terms w/ this.

However there is a food chain and a life cycle...everything that has life eventually dies to make room for additional life.

It's harsh in some ways yes, but the symmetry is beautiful.
