Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear sister in Christ!

As opposed to the current *scientific* scenario that everything kind of *‘just pooped’[sic] into existence* all by it little self, out of something called singularity, out of nothing , from nowhere, for as yet unknown and inexplicable reason?

For the record, a singularity is not nothing. A singularity is a space of zero dimensions, a mathematical point. A line is one dimension; a plane, two; a cube, three, etc.

An origin story beginning with a singularity is not ex nihilo. It relies on space, time and physical causation.

That is the weakness of all such theories (inflationary, multi-verse, multi-world, ekpyrotic, cyclic, imaginary time, etc.) Because of the CMB measurements, we know the universe is expanding, i.e. that there was a beginning of real space and real time.

As Jastrow said (paraphrased) that was the most theological statement ever to come out of modern science.

Well, yeah, I knew that.

Which is one reason why science has nothing better to offer.

What they propose doesn’t even work under their conditions.
