Life is the result of God interacting with the Universe. Each individual perspective on this essential process of Always has its own validity. Those who believe in God as the creator of the Universe are correct that, from God's perspective, he creates the living Universe as we know it.
From the perspective of Always, God interacts with the Universe to make life, just as male enters into female to make life. Neither God nor the Universe can produce any meaningful life without an intimate interaction.
The process known as Life has always existed in one form or another because both God and the Universe have always existed and have always interacted. It can also be said that the nature of the Life at any one time is different from Life at any other time and is always changing.
From this perspective, God is the powerful male part of our reality that defines how things in the Universe work or function, while the Universe is the essential female component of Always which gives us something to touch, something to feel and a place to live our lives within.
One might also conclude from this view, that no matter how one tries, one can't help but define reality in our own likeness.
