I was mostly just makin' a funny, but your idea made me try to figure out how you would arrive at your trancendant ball of energy and the easiest path would be to create a model of god that was similar to the sun.
By sun worship I do mean worshipping the sun, sol, the big flaming thingy!
By the way, I like your approach to these forums. This is what I believe too, with an addition in bold:
Quote:I would surmise life comes from an occurance that created matter and time in the universe and set into motion the events that led to our evolution.
Nothing can come from nothing is a concept that kept me theist for a very long time but, if the universe can't come from nothing why wouldn't we apply that same rule to God?
In other words if you believe that God CAN have always been, why not remove a step and just apply that standard to the universe.
Well, it has been written better than that, but hopefully you get my point.

I would agree with your embolden statement and I think I'll add that to my definition. In answer to your question in our universe nothing can come from nothing. God by my definition is outside the universe and time, space, moral constructs of right and wrong don't apply.If God is outside the universe then he is distinctly seperate from the universe. What logic follows (as it was put to me) that because something has an end it doesn't necessarily have to have a begiining. Why would the rules we apply in our universe have any correlation to God?
