Belated Creation Story

In the beginning there was continuity, all mass and energy in existence was condensed from an unknown time and place into the smallest portions of space that it could until it had no other option than to explode towards infinity pushed by an infinite amount of energy.  Following the wave of creation in an imperceptibly small amount of time was the energies desire to polarize into positive and negative versions of itself called matter and anti-matter. These two entities collided with themselves and each other in unimaginable amounts at first in basic configurations which would annihilate themselves when the positive and negative met to send high energy cosmic rays across space. It seemed at this point that existence would become no more complicated than Hydrogen and Helium, the two most rudimentary elements, since their evil twins anti-hydrogen and anti-helium seemed to desire their nonexistence. Fortunately our hero matter was able to prove its right to rule in its ability to stably and consistently form more complicated elements such as Lithium and Beryllium. Matter became more prevalent than its opposite and began condensing into giant molecular clouds. The clouds of molecular Hydrogen that were big enough to form stars were somehow destabilized from an outside source such as a black hole or from colliding into another molecular cloud. This destabilization caused the molecular clouds fragments to form together in a sphere of Hydrogen and Helium surrounded by a disk of cluttered matter that would become the planets of a solar system. This process happened over and over again with the degree of its variance limited only by the infinite continuity of the universes universal experiment which consists of the process of matter coalescing to form more and more complicated systems of energy.  The universe used and uses matter to discover which systems of energy can survive the best by redundantly combining it until only the most stable well suited combinations exist, all the time increasing in complexity. When one star in particular was created the molecular cloud surrounding it made nine planets and their moons with the most interesting planet forming from many different elements but mostly iron, oxygen, and silicon. The oxygen and silicon swirled around each other forming the majority of the mass. This spiral surrounded the hot iron core in an indescribable fusion of elements that would eventually stabilize to become the facility for life’s genesis itself. On the planet a system began as it had continued before: matter was allowed to combine in more stable forms because if it was unstable it would not hold together. This law of selecting for stability gave matter the chance to form molecular compounds of many varieties, all trying to become more complicated so as to survive longer. This drive toward complexity pushed life to many strange places until the most stable form yet conceived was achieved in humanity. Humanity increased its complexity and chances of survival more efficiently than any other form of life through passing on the method of breaking free from the past: knowledge.  Chance is what led the beginning to the middle and chance is what will take the middle to the end. However an end when perceive differently may merely be another beginning.
