Here is an Indian creation, a poem you will find interesting and probably may
resonate with your beliefs on theory of creation by Prof Stephen Hawkings of late.

There was neither non-existence nor existence then.
There was neither the realm of space nor the sky which is beyond.
What stirred?
Where?
In whose protection?
Was there water, bottlemlessly deep?

There was neither death nor immortality then.
There was no distinguishing sign of night nor of day.
That One breathed, windless, by its own impulse.
Other than that there was nothing beyond.

Darkness was hidden by darkness in the beginning,
with no distinguishing sign, all this was water.
The life force that was covered with emptiness,
that One arose through the power of heat.

Desire came upon that One in the beginning,
that was the first seed of mind.
Poets seeking in their heart with wisdom
found the bond of existence and non-existence.

Their cord was extended across.
Was there below?
Was there above?
There were seed-placers, there were powers.
There was impulse beneath, there was giving forth above.

Who really knows?
Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced?
Whence is this creation?
The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen?

Whence this creation has arisen
- perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not -
the One who looks down on it,
in the highest heaven, only He knows
or perhaps He does not know.
*The Poetry of Creation - Rig Veda Book 10 Hymn 129*

Hinduism itself has 6 philosophies with one bordering on atheism.

For buddhists of course there is no god.

Taoists, Shintoists, etc have all different concept of the belief in divine.

Sri Ramana Maharishi says, first find out who is your "self", then worry about god.

Why bother about the concept of god, why bring god uneccesarily into human affairs.


The vedas don't mention anything about god. God, religion etc are all semitic terms for which we have no equivalence.
