What force would be great enough to overcome the gravity of all the universe? That's my proof, or argument, for the existance of God.

Ever her of the inflationary theory?

The inflationary theory is probably old hat by now. The latest one has the multi-verse composed of an infinite number of infinite universes with 4 dimensions. They form the border of the 5th dimension, which is finite. The rest of the dimensions are "rolled up". They may provide the bounds for the hadrons (whenever they exist).

So one day a couple of the universes bumped into each other, heat was created and that precipitated the hadrons.

We live in one of those infinite, ageless universes. We are adjacent to all the others as well.

There is no beginning beyond the creation. Everything we have observed is merely the operation of a very small part of it. At the moment we are basking in the light which was created AFTER the first creation.

In fact, the "stars" we see today were mostly all created long after the original creation of the very large hydrogen fusion reactions that created the heavier elements found in all of today's stars.

Sure. Just read a good article on it in the Economist. It is a descriptive theory of what happened (space increased in size) without explaining how or why it expands. It just says that it does. There is no empirical reason for it to expand--it just fits with observation with no rationale for the motive power behind it that offsets gravity.

Now there are also theories of negative gravity and a fifth force that counteracts it--but no experimental evidence for them.
