God, Energy and Matter

[Aegon]

"You are a function of what the whole universe is doing the same way a wave is a function of what the entire ocean is doing."

It's a beautiful way to look at life and your place in it. Why introduce God into the equation? Why is He necessary?

He's the creator and sustain-er of that beautiful universe. He's in the equation. I didn't introduce him into it.

Of course you introduced him into it. He didn't introduce himself... perhaps he just walked right by me without saying hello? How rude!

You think he is a necessary part of the equation. I'm asking why. "Because he is" will make for a dull conversation. Why did the beautiful universe need to be created by a being, and why does it need him to sustain it all?
