User blog comment:Twilight Despair 5/Origin of the Universe?/@comment-9249716-20151020141543

This explanation doesn't really make much sense. Plus, you have to remember that Supernatural bases it's universe origins on Christianity. Now the void may very well be oblivion in the sense of any spiritual being that is destroyed will not come back to reality as the characters know it (as in planes like earth, heaven, hell, purgatory and whatever else), they just no longer exist in any way at all. The Darkness/Amara is a concept that many writers have had a ahrd time with long before Supernatural was a thing. I think it's more accurate to say that God came first and said "Let there be Light" and when it says he separated the light and darkness, the darkness grew to understand something that caused it to believe that Light was it's enemy for some reason.

Also, as I said in a blog I wrote, why should anyone take Death's word about the beginning of creation if he wouldn't become a thing until humans came along? Because if God existed before he created the universe, how could death? Not to mention, how could the Darkness/Amara come into existence unless she had to have formed out of something first?

All in all, I don't think the writers themselves had the idea entirely put together, they probably just drew off of previous works that used somethign similar and thought it would be cool to try it without really thinking it through.
