What is creation and creativity?
I believe that creativity and creation are the effects of some mental process that produces something useful, interesting or beautiful.
You say that the existence of space, mass and energy, does not prove that they were created, that may be true, but if I follow that logic, then I can say that the writing that you posted does not prove that you are real.
If I follow that logic even further, then I can suspect that you were the one that created the sequence of words, but I also could speculate that the words simply appeared out of nothing for no reason.
From my perspective, it seems logical that you are real, simply because randomness or haphazard chance does not contain creativity and your writing does.
Using that same reference of creativity as a guideline, I can say that space, mass and energy can be useful, interesting, and beautiful, therefore they must have been created.
As a great man once said;
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

- Until I was about 12 I believed in god.
- Curiosity killed the cat, religion kills curiosity....
- That is a pretty narrow purpose for religion, that you and your friend agreed to!
- My friend Barbara observes:
- There's no solace in science for me.
- For me, science satisfies my awe more than religion does.
