Why do you call it energy which is a technical objective term from the natural science of physics and not a more general term?
Could it have been that God did not exist or does what you mean by God imply his existence? If God could or could not have existed then what do we call the fact of God? If God must exist then how can you equate him with energy which could have not existed? Does God have a mind other than our minds (meaning the created minds of all sentient creatures)? Has God ever spoken to anyone, or is that even possible? Has God spoke directly to you and if so what did he say?
