Actually, the first 300,000 years was a sea of light, in the form of trapped photons. It wasn't until recombination occurred, when things had cooled enough for hydrogen and helium nuclei to capture electrons, that the photons were free to travel unhindered and the Universe became transparent. It is that initial glow, redshifted into the microwave range, that we now see as the Cosmic Microwave Background.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
