Ironically, about the only mythical cosmology that agrees with current theory to some extent is Kabbalah.

In a very distilled fashion, it states that God wanted to find out if there is anything that is *not* God. So God created an area which is the absence of God, a true vacuum, then with something akin to a lightning bolt, implanted a single particle in the middle of it.

The particle was to endlessly replicate itself until it reflected God, like a mirror, so God would be able to see if there was anything else. Then, its task complete, the mirror would cease to exist, and everything would become God again.

From this interpretation, everything that exists in reality are endless permutations of that particle.

Now, if this description was given to a Kabbalist, no doubt they would scream in anguish at my terrible interpretation that horribly mangles Kabbalist doctrines, but drawing such parallels with current cosmological theory is never going to be tidier than several unhappy cats in a washing machine.

Have you asked Madonna?
