Well, ok, but what I mean is, how is God not the Universe if he created it? The universe is supposedly his creation, so either he didn't literally create it, but merely helped shape the current universe drawing inspiration and raw material from another, older one, or he created it out of nothing. In the latter case, then, he didn't so much create an universe as expressed himself into being. Please tell me you see what I'm driving at.
