I believe that Nature encompasses the entire universe that was created by the Big Bang. If "God" is the "Creator," then Big Bang is God. I have enshrined my beliefs in the lyrics of an anthem that I hope will some day be sung by a UU choir somewhere. Here are the lyrics:


Big Bang created space and time,
a universe of light,
of mass and heat and sentient life,
of touch and smell and sight.

Big Bang set universal laws
of mass and force opposed,
repulsion and attraction bound,
the speed of light enclosed.

Refrain: There is no God, there is no God, there is no God but Big Bang

We are the spawn of Lord Big Bang.
It's laws are where we start.
Our destiny is tied to all,
our task to play life's part.

Big Bang has built a wondrous stage
and written us good lines.
Yet we can only read the past
and scan the now for signs.

Refrain: There is no God, there is no God, there is no God but Big Bang

Thus we must guess as best we can
the who, where, why, and what,
and thoughtfully ad lib* our lines
as if we knew the plot.

The play performed will thus define
one universe of thought,
one version of reality.
What hath Lord Big Bang wrought?

*shorthand Latin for "make them up freely"
