Thanks for your response. I’m not trying to be snarky or facetious, I’m just having trouble wrapping my thoughts around these questions. I guess I am just thinking in limited terminology because I believe that to have an “up”, you have to have a corresponding “down”, a “right” for a “left”, and an “inside” must have an “outside”. Thus, since we are “inside” the universe, and it is expanding, then there must be, in my limited thought processes, an “outside” for it to expand in to. Another poster to my question has said that outside the universe is God, and that is good enough for me. I appreciate you taking time to reply, but I am not sure how much I was able to take from it. I will think on it some more and pray I am not overwhelmed.
Thanks for your attitude and prayerful thoughtfulness. The idea that there was nothing until God initiated the Big Bang is a very tough concept to grasp. I understand it but really can't put my mind around it either. Remember that it took decades for the western world to grasp the concept of zero.
