    The Creator and the created.

    But for the materiaists out there, you're stuck with a minimum of 3:

    1. matter-energy (different forms of each other)
    2. space-time
    3. information

    Something and nothing.. We all can relate to what something is, but the idea of nothing has bugged people for centuries, especially in the Western world.We have a saying in Latin, Ex nihilo nuhil fit, which means "out of nothing comes nothing." It has occurred to me that this is a fallacy of tremendous proportions. It lies at the root of all our common sense, not only in the West, but in many parts of the East as well. It manifests in a kind of terror of nothing, a put-down on nothing, and a put-down on everything associated with nothing, such as sleep, passivity, rest, and even the feminine principles. But to me nothing -- the negative, the empty -- is exceedingly powerful. I would say, on the contrary, you can't have something without nothing. Image nothing but space, going on and on, with nothing in it forever. But there you are imagining it, and you are something in it. The whole idea of there being only space, and nothing else at all is not only inconceivable but perfectly meaningless, because we always know what we mean by contrast.

    Matter and space/time are the two I will choose. Matter is energy that has taken form. Space/time are the area and means to be 3 or more dimensional.

    I believe that would be matter, and anti-matter.
    Though time and space seems logical as well.

    Well there is one theory that suggests the answer would be : Matter and Anti-matter.

    Although it's just a theory at the moment.
