God and everything else

When I think of god, I think of space. Not the space between (i.e. dave matthews and co.), but space as in cosmological space. God to me represents the indescribable loneliness of the void, and the churning nuclear furnace of the brightest blue star. God is the trillionth of a second after the big bang, ejecting matter from whence our reality was wrought, and the trillion years that will elapse before our universe whimpers into dissolution. The ancient greeks thought that a mysterious ether pervaded our universe, causing all atomic interaction (replace "ether" with "dark matter" and you basically have modern astrophysics). God, to me, is this ether. Blanketing everything, enveloping all those little probability clouds and black holes.
