Divinity is known by His unlimited names. He  also has unlimited potency and these are exhibited throughout the material and spiritual universes.

Sir Fred Hoyle , after some time came to the right conclusions when he thought someone has monkeyed with our universe,  everything is precisely situated,  the Goldilocks phenomena,  not too  hot ,too cold etc, etc .

So, along  with such arrangements are connections between mind and matter , the mental state on an ethereal plane is automatically connecting us with either a permanent arrangement , ie a spiritual plane or a temporary arrangement ie the material plane,  we have free will .

The quality and bliss found in a selfless spiritual plane is greater that the selfish sense gratification exhibited on a material plane , so intelligence needs to be applied before our mind takes our bodies to a destiny that may not suit our inner most desires for happiness and love permanently exhibited .

There is absolutely no evidence that matter came before consciousness . In our own experiences, life comes from life , Sir Fred correctly assessed the perfect arrangements and laws governing the universe, which was an intelligent arrangement  too perfect. He knew that matters has no ability to organise itself. Molecules don’t move towards life.
