According to The Church of HALOISM on Bungie.net:

On the first day God created games and consoles. God created light so all could see his gaming abilities. On the second day God created TVs, all shapes and sizes. On the third day He created the 360. On the fourth day he created couches, chairs, bean bags so His gamers may rest in peace while gaming. On the fifth day He created fast food, so the gamer may eat and play in ease. On the sixth day He created HALO and man, from His thumb, (the gamer’s greatest assest.) On the seventh day He rested and played Halo with His fellow gamers.

If memory serves correct this piece of text was created by Egotrasher one of the founders of ”The Church”, here is the topic about it’s creation.
