Hardly - absence of a definite theory at the present time is no reason to suppose that the only possible answer is something supernatural. The Greeks had no idea what could naturally cause lightning, so they assumed that it had to be supernatural (the weapons of Zeus). Our current knowledge about lightning shows how unwise it is to assume that where no current theory exists, the only possible answer is supernatural.

Fair enough. My question was to do with the word 'rest'. To me 'rest' implies that creating the universe was tiring. I suppose that there could be other meanings to the word rest that wouldn't imply that it was tiring.

Well, it's getting late over here and I'm going to bed. Goodnight all.
