No one knows the answer to that question, of course. You won't find it on a political forum -- or any other forum, for that matter.
Hypotheses abound, but some things are unknowable, and many questions are unanswerable. Badgering the group with such questions is counterproductive.
But you know that...
:)
My first thought is "counterproductive to what?"
I'm not trying to be a smart@ss here, I simply am curious to know how on the one hand THERE IS NO CREATOR but, on the other hand the entire mass of the universe SIMPLY IS. And the only answer is; "Hypotheses abound, but some things are unknowable, and many questions are unanswerable".
Am I missing something here? I'm serious. >100 billion years ago there was NOTHING, and then later on there was EVERYTHING. And all the scientists on this thread act like this is an absurd point. What physical law could possibly be twisted to give you everything from nothing?
