To build anything, one needs tools.
What tools did God use to build the universe?
Let us take a peek into his/her toolbag
Obviously, creating the building blocks of matter requires an unimaginable amount of energy.
The Big Bang established the relative units of matter, finiteness, and the laws of physics, and within minutes we had hydrogen and helium atoms.
God's next tool was nuclear fusion. One could say that Nuclear fusion is one of God's favorite tools, via which God created the remaining elements, giving us chemistry and then biology and subsequently life.
Polarity is another tool that permeates all facets of the underpinnings of creation, and spills into the cognitive realm, primarily in the form of Pain vs Pleasure, the building blocks of behavior.
Structure, hierarchy, and equilibrium are the principles that stabilize the physical and cognitive universe.
Without these principles, the Earth would smash into the Sun, and the entire universe would not have coalesced in the first place.
These principles can also help us solve many of our social ills, such as income inequality, global warming, police brutality, etc.
We are good at establishing hierarchies and organizations. We fail miserably when it comes to equilibrium.
Love might have been the universe's motivation in the first place, and it is the glue for most positive cognitive interactions and experiences.
Laughter, Friendship, and Generosity (among others) are the sweetener of human experience.
The Sphere, the Circle, and the Ellipse are god's primary design elements because I suspect they are closer to the nature of infinity itself.
Nothing in the macroscopic universe is naturally cubic (some crystals approximate cubes).
Inspiration, Prayer, and Communion are the tools that transitioned us from physical creatures to cognitive and spiritual beings.
