Where do you believe the big bang came from? What did it come from, I guess.

when a man and a woman love each other very much, they do a special kind of dance

we'll never truly know.

I can't say for fellow believers though and I think even the Christian realm spreads deep and wide.

Imagine...a realm of my very own. :P

Yes, B, I did it again. I made it about me.

Darren 💲anders @ 1/11/2017 16:17 I don't tend to use the actual phrase "god" when I speak of my beliefs though because that tends to draw personal feelings of the Christian God when in reality I mean the universe which created itself during the big bang So we are the universe and forever will be the universe, observing itself from the inside out. Where do you believe the big bang came from? What did it come from, I guess.

Well some people believe it's always been and always will be in a repeating process of expansion and compression, tough to know. I don't feel the need to know to be honest

Probably an explosion caused by elements outside of our own dimension, probably happens on a regular basis in a vast existence impossible to comprehend or observe.

But where did those forms of matter come from? Something has to begin for it to be, doesn't it?

The human mind cannot grasp something not having a start point or being infinite, it's interesting.

There are a lot of things a human mind can't grasp

Current scientific knowledge does not lead to an "acceptable" answer to this question for most people.

That doesn't mean that in the future that new technology will allow for a revision of current thinking. That's the beauty of science. It's always adapting and updating itself based on new observations.


To redirect your question another way, if there was someone there at the 'beginning' to "turn everything on", where did that person/being come from?

Example 1: a fork

mostly because a mind doesn't have opposable digits.

Does it though?


Can things not just be?

Everything within the universe has been created from something, so it's only logical to assume that the same goes for everything that exists outside it as well if we're talking consistency and leaving a creator out of it.

That's how I see it, at least.

I say yes.
