Universe

Everything that exists, according to some theories. However, other theories hold there to be multiple Universes, and some even hold that a omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnicognizant, and basically omni(insert suffix here) being called (variously) Jehovah, Yehaweh, Allah, etc., but usually called by the name of 'God' created the Universe(s).

A collection of Universes is usually called a 'Multiverse.'

The Universe originated in the Big Bang, according to one theory.

agnostic

1. Strictly, someone who believes that it is impossible to know whether or not God exists. Note that they may still be either an atheist or a theist, they simply do not believe it is possible to prove beyond all doubt that God does or does not exist.
2. Someone who neither believes fully that God exists nor that s/he does not exist. This is the more common usage. Note that such a person can be neither an atheist or a theist.

Most agnostics are open-minded people, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

Daedalus

1. A very intelligent inventor in Greek mythology who supposedly invented the labyrinth. He was subsequently imprisoned by King Minos of Crete, but escaped with his son Icarus by creating wings made of seagull feathers, wax, and string. Icarus, however, flew too close to the sun, and the wax melted - he fell to his death in the Ocean.

2. An Artificial Intelligence in the game Deus Ex: The Conspiracy. Created by Majestic 12 in order to identify terrorists, it identified Majestic 12 as a terrorist organization itself. Its predecessor was the Morpheus prototype, and it later joined with Icarus to form Helios. One method of winning the game was to join with the Helios AI.

3. Me.

Daedalus was extremely intelligent.
