Thx for all responses. 

Ujl, for all practical purposes, unless there is any theory or proof to support otherwise, I'd rather believe that the universe is without beginning or end than to believe stories written down by human beings.After all we are free to believe our own version of grandeur. To each his own :)

Drpilot: in plants we trust :)

Bathroomcoffee: we have agreed to disagree in the point that you choose to believe what the scientists say happened 13 billion years ago

Bittertruth: appreciate your response here. Seems like we have similar thoughts on this.

Vivant: :) probably both pensive mood and mid life crisis! I haven't seen the monty python show yet. I am sure there are a lot of great videos on this subject :)

Nas: I am enjoying your crusade to save the hindu dharma and urge you to keep it up. Hindu dharma is a culture on it's own and lot of things make sense. Lot of things said in the hindu religious books are pretty deep but at the end of the day they are all man-made books and thoughts. It's possible they are 100% correct and it's possible they are 50% correct. The point is noone can tell for sure so it makes sense for everyone to take in what one can and then formulate one's own ideas to accept and acknowledge the God entity in one's own way. 

The versese you have put forth point to universe as part of creation, whereas I am thinking that universe is the creator itself:) Even in hindu religious literatures, Brahma is considered to be a sole creator  and the universe is loosely termed 'Brahmand' - a sum of all creations. Possibilities are limitless in the Universe for sure :)
