Physicists help me out here.

Maybe it's like the expanding/contracting universe theory (can't remember exactly how it goes, but it was something like this): the big bang was preceded by something I think was called the "big bust" - contraction of the universe into a single point, which then exploded and formed the universe - the big bang. This cycle repeats itself over and over again, expanding till there's no more energy to expand it further, then contracting, exploding, expanding, etc.

Maybe "god" is a being that evolves in a similar cycle - an omniscient and omnipresent force constructed of the psychic energy of all living beings, which dissolves/explodes into the created universe, then evolves again, etc. I don't know what the motive would be for the dissolution - perfection is boring? but it'd be cool if the metaphysical mirrored the physical.
