So what caused the universe? Is all of the universe as science knows it just a random happening from nothingness? Nothing was ever created? I just don't understand how it all just randomly happened. It's logical there must at some point been a creator of something.
I am not a scientist. But, from intro Astronomy class I took last year, I read about Big Bang, not God pointing his finger and *poof* the universe came into being.
"Is all of the universe as science knows it just a random happening from nothingness?"
If I were a practicing Hindu, I would believe that universe came from nothingness (ala Rig Veda 10:191).
Scientists, on the other hand, believe in a burst of energy from the point of Singularity. They say they have evidence of expanding universe from the images taken by space telescopes. I would rather believe in learned scientists rather than 4,000 year old religious manual, or 2,000 year old religious scripture for that matter.
