Hi Linda
I have no problem with atheism at all. In fact, in terms of the way most people think of God, I could conceivably be considered an atheist. A few days ago I was listening to a quantum physicist share his story, and I wish I could remember his name and the website. I can look it up later. I think his name is Lansa. He isn't trying to prove God, but what he says about quantum physics is quite enlightening. I think his name is Lansa, but I will look it up.
Anyway, in the very first verse of Genesis, (the Hebrew letters all have several meanings, and so do the words. And looking at each letter gives us a whole new perspective on the overall meaning.) As such, the very first word in the Hebrew Torah implies a big bang, an energy and vibration that creates it, and a concept of consciousness creating such. We have the same ideas to a certain extent expressed in the first verse of the Gospel of John. Furthermore, the story of the Prodigal son is an allegory of the big bang, what caused it, and how it proceeds and returns in on itself as in a black hole. Beyond that, this specific talk would get too long so I will save anything else for later.

By the way, speaking of the "multiverse" there is much discussion about that nowadays, (there was a few years ago too, but everyone kind of forgot about it) and scientists argue over whether it is real or not. Sometimes I think the physicists never really hear what the other physicist is actually saying, only what they want to hear them saying. Whether there is a multiverse or not in many ways depends on your definition and your perspective of it. But there is a hint of it in the gospels. "In my father's house are many mansions. (universes) I go there to prepare a place for you." (A given universe that fits you.) How would the mansion (universe) be decided? By the way you have lived your life, the karma you have produced, and the understanding you have developed. According to those and other criteria, you will be placed in a given universe in another life. All very interesting, at least to me.
