Suppose you invent/design a new material with properties that have previously never been known. A whole "universe" of products and industries spring up based on this new material. Can you not claim credit for being the initiator of this universe?
Now, add to this the idea that you know ahead of time, when you invented/designed this material, everything that would precipitate from it...and you decide to do it and set it all in motion. That's how I picture God's rule over all created things.
The royalties sound attractive.
