[/quote] Yes, but back to the beginning. How did it all happen? What was the catalyst to ignite it all? Doesn't this point to a divine being? How can it all "just happen"? I guess another question that stems from this is, given what we know (and don't know) Why do people outright refuse to believe that there is a God? I'm not on a Bible thumping mission here. I am simply trying to understand this. Seems like people need to revisit what "Faith" means. [/quote] You say "being", as if the universe as we know it now is RIPE with 'beings', I simply don't see how there are only these two arguments. The 'something' must be a "being", and the nothing must be a scientific zero. It is just a petty argument that can go nowhere based on how young of a species we are. Both of these arguments are probably wrong. As for the big bang, this is simply deductive mathematics, and as for creation, it is simply an idea, that mankind is so important in the universe that someone like us MUST have done it. We do not even have complete picture of the solar system yet, no less the universe! Evidence of this can be seen respectively between voyager 1's current position, and the near sightedness of measuring light. In the opinion of someone who favors neither a 'nothing', nor a 'divine something', I think the more we find, the stranger it will get. Something tells me not only our universe was birthed of a black hole, but that these are the engines that are creating universes. There are some obscure scientists that will agree with me. It's a fun thing to research if you have some spare time. The idea that a human invention like a 'god', is somehow relevant to what we find is space is just very narrow in my opinion. And for science to say anything is certain which they do not at this point, would also be very narrow minded. So that's where I stand as a human, not as an atheist, or a traditionist. [/quote]
Original Message
According to you, in the beginning there was nothing. Absolutely nothing and from this nothing started something. Not sure what triggered the "something", but it started. Over time this "something" evolved into everything we see today. You, me and everything else.
What started the "something"? What is "nothing"?
