That's a copout. The question exists and can't be answered. Saying it is a theological question avoids embarrassment.
Would you have liked my initial response better if I said “metaphysics\philosophy” rather than “theology”? On this subject they’re almost interchangeable. I don’t understand the point of your somewhat hostile response. Actually, any question can be asked whether it can be asked intelligently is the issue. Right now, physics has no meaningful or intelligent way to ask that question. The physics and math to express it don’t exist yet. That was my point!
