What Caused the Universe to Come into Existence?
PJ Media ^ | September 16, 2017 | Edward Watson

We know, to the best of our senses and instruments, that the universe exists. How did it come into reality 13.8 billion years ago? In other words, what caused the Big Bang?

Roughly speaking, there are two possibilities: “nothing” caused the universe to come into being or “something” triggered it into existence.

Many races believe that the Universe was created by some sort of god or in the Big Bang. The Jatravartids, however, believe that the Universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. They live in perpetual fear of the time they call “The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief” (their version of the End of the Universe). The theory of the Great Green Arkleseizure is not widely accepted outside Viltvodle VI.

In the beginning the Universe was created.This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

First there was NO Big Bang.

Next there wasn’t a beginning, “Existence has always Existed.”

There was always something, there was never nothing. There fore there was NO beginning.

Well, I read several scholarly articles regarding the great attractor” and the general sense of the matter was that either the mass of this system 150 million LY away is pulling everything towards it or is pulling everything into an orbit, but no one can actually tell.

Pretty vague stuff for folks to look at as a big deal regarding much of anything.

It is not an origins feature, the big bang “theory” has little or no involvement compared to any other heavenly body and this observation seems to have no impact on the discussion of origins. If the BBT is actually real, then it is the “event horizon” of all other questions/observations.

So your theory needs no refuting as I understand the observation. It is just seemingly irrelevant given the stated aspects of space and time..... Wake me up in about 149.99 million light years.

Interesting piece of deep space trivia though.

IMO the fact that I exist at all is along the same lines. Something so incredible, I cannot distill it into plainer terms. I wasn't, and now I am. Somehow, in a flash, a bridge opened between the finite and the infinite, and now... here I am. But what am I? One thing I know: I didn't do this... I didn't make myself or choose to come into being. It's not that I mind existence, it doesn't bother me, it's actually very interesting, but what in the world is it? So take your age and double it. Try looking back that far in time; if you're fifty, imagine the year 1917. Think hard on the fact that you didn't exist back then. So what are you now, and how did you become that?

A newbie to Thomist metaphysics, I’m finding it to be really enlightening. Love his insight that the intellect is pretty useless without real objects on which to operate! Really teaches the mind to know its place.

The logic of the big bang coupled with the denial that there is a God defies logic - “in the beginning, there was nothing; then it exploded”.
