Something had to have exploded. What was that thing? How did it get there? What was it?
There’s a lot of speculation on that, but we do not know. Nevertheless, the evidence of cosmic expansion, and the cosmic microwave backgound radiation tell us that something of this nature happened.
Hey, don’t you know anything? The universe rests on a giant turtle. What does that turtle rest on, you may ask? Why, an even larger turtle, of course. And what about that turtle, what does it rest on? Yes, of course, an even bigger turtle. In fact, it’s turtles all the way down.
Such nonsense, along with the idea at the universe oscillates between a big bang, expansion, contraction into a singularity, followed by a big bang, forever and ever comma RV hiding places for those who simply cannot imagine the existence of God. They simply cannot deal with the implications on many different levels, most important of which is their own personal moral culpability for failing to even attempt to live as God wants us to do.
Correction:
“Such nonsense, along with the idea at the universe oscillates between a big bang, expansion, contraction into a singularity, followed by a big bang, forever and ever comma RV hiding places for those who simply cannot imagine the existence of God.”
Should be:
“Such nonsense, along with the idea THat the universe oscillates between a big bang, expansion, contraction into a singularity, followed by a big bang, forever and ever, ARE hiding places for those who simply cannot imagine the existence of God.”
I know what it was like at the big bang. I was there.
Where did the universe come from? It appeared one day, that’s all. A minute fleck of matter: one cubic quantum unit, and it was filled solid. I mean solid, not like this modern junk.
Well, it was quite a surprise, coming into existence like that. I roamed around the cubic quantum unit (it seemed a lot bigger back then) and after a while I figured I knew just about everything about the quantum unit. A pretty boring place after a while.
You ever see a wolf exhibit at the zoo? They endlessly pace the barrier, no matter how big it is, and you know that in the wild they would not leave such a pathetic rut in the turf.
Anyhow, I got to where I knew everything about the quantum unit and one day I was just stretching and feeling the far part and the near part and flexed this certain way, it’s hard to describe, and the edges of the quantum unit cracked open and suddenly there were 8 quantum units of space around me, and only 1 unit of stuff. Me. I wanted all that space for myself. I explored it all the same way, and I’d just almost get used to one state of the universe, and then it would expand again.
It’s always been interesting as hell. I remember when we invented hydrogen. What, you think it was natural that hydrogen developed as the universe cooled? Give me a break. Back then it was the way we kept ourselves going. Pollution, that’s what hydrogen was. We had this nice, clean universe, and in order to keep it going we started making hydrogen. We didn’t know what a Frankenstein we were creating.
You have to remember we were desperate. The universe was cooling off so rapidly, nobody had any idea what would happen as temperatures kept dropping. I’d already evolved through a lot of different kinds of physical structures, but they were based on normal amounts of energy. Thoroughly remixed into the energy maelstrom.
This hydrogen stuff, though—it froze into a solid little piece, if you knew how to do the trick. And if you knew the trick, it was fun and easy and sexy.
But dirty. And today we’re made from that dirt.
I’m working on solving that mystery but I am not having a lot of luck.
That’s what I was getting at.
If there was only one big bang or a series of them, and if there is only our universe or a multidue of them, the original matter had to be created at some time.
And who but God is up to the job?
If belief in God is faith based, what is belief in matter originating from nothing and making a big bang?
Pretending one is faith based but the other is science isn’t consistent.
Science is man’s attempt to figure out how God works.
I like that.
BTTT
I do not know.
