By our amazing correspondent

So, where did it all begin? By ‘all’, I mean of course the universe

story, for they have grown with that religion. As yet, there is no

total scientific proof to asses the validity of these creation

beliefs. With nothing but bamboozlement gained from this report, I

have decided that these matters should be left to time to prove.
