Bingo, the mans got it.
Now the next question is, what is nothing?
It's a bloody head melter. Read up on the Egyptian Ogdoad system, the Adi-Buddha, Akkadian Tiamat, and every other primordial god of nothingness.
The reason the Judeo-Christian god is called YHWH, or the unnameable God, is because we can't understand the nothing, simply because we have no point of reference.
In our minds it's just an endless black screen. A complete mystery.
This is what I meant earlier when saying "the gap filler is the gap"
The word gap itself comes from the Scandinavian manifestation of this god, Ginnungagap.
Quote:In Norse mythology, Ginnungagap ("magical (and creative) power-filled space"[1]) was the vast, primordial void that existed prior to the creation of the manifest universe.

Now we really, really, REALLY, have to start a new thread. This is where it gets interesting. It took 4 pages but someone finally nailed it.
