I don't exactly get why 'God' and 'energy' are mutually exclusive
to one another. If God is 'the energy that exists', then there's no
either/or. Plus, you don't have to believe in energy, it really does
exist. Always has...always will. It is that which, science tells us,
is neither created nor destroyed--just like religion tells us God is.
