Metallica is obviously trying to tell us that our understanding of the everything is too small to even start to comprehend the vastness of i.e. space. I use the line; "Limitation of human understanding" To back up this interpretation. I also kinda agree with metallica_singh. God did not create humanity, humanity created God. God is an idea, created by humans who couldn't handle the thought that death is the end of all things. Should all humans die, how can there still be a God? No one would be there to believe in him, and therefore he cannot exist.
'Tallica uses space as an example to show how small and insignificant we really are, compared to what we think of ourselves. Any human on earth ('cept for über environmentalists) would say that humanity is the most important race on earth.
Humanity is also the only race that's pursuing truth, "no matter where it lies". Since the first primal humans evolved, we have looked upon the stars and wondered what is beyond them, and this makes space the ulimate metaphor example for 'Tallica to use.
"Came to be, how it begun" simply means that we are attempting to find out how the universe begun.
"Twisting, turning through the never" is a metaphor for us moving with tremendous speed through the universe. All things in space move, and even though we aren't noticing it ourselves, we are travelling constantly at many thousands of km/h. The earth is revolving around the sun, while spinning around its own axis, thereby giving the "twisting and turning".
