I'm probably just uneducated, but if the Big Bang created the universe where did that matter come from? Because science also says spontaneous generation isn't real. So please, if I'm just an uneducated peasant, don't be too harsh. But I am interested in what is said about that.
Keep it civilized if you have different ideas, I can see this becoming a religion war.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 9/30/2015 5:18:04 AMThe Big Bang did [i]not[/i] create the universe. This is a common misconception that is used to derail the theory by saying "it violates the law of conservation." It doesn't. The fact of the matter (no pun intended) is that we do not know what created the universe. As far as modern physics goes, we can only be determinate if what happens 5.4e^-44 seconds after the "beginning" of time. This is called the Planck epoch. All we can say is, the universe was the size of a Planck length (1.6e^-28 nm) and that all the energy the universe currently holds was packed into this very small area. Rapid expansion happens, so all this energy is super hot, which eventually leads to the building blocks of matter, and so on and so forth until today. We know this occurred because of the expansion of space, basically we backtracked that expansion until we quite literally can't anymore. [i]That[/i] is what the Big Bang says, that time was not always existent. The best answer we have today, is that the Universe was probably never created. Which, given, seems a little odd to think about. I mean, everything has to be created in order to be, correct? Well, it simply only makes sense if the universe was always here. Mind you, I've over simplified a lot of what I'm talking about here to save myself from writing for hours.

Not trying to start a war, but I just think its funny how people are looked down upon for believing in a God that as humans we can never understand. And yet it is accepted to believe that our universe is an accident or that is has always been there. I just think it makes more sense to believe in an intelligent being with no beginning than believe in an empty univers with no beginning. Science can only go so far, and that's where faith steps in. The fact that faith can be based on different things is what creates the conflicting views. Everything will be settled in the end. Let me also jusy say that this thread was mostly pleasing to read through. Congrats to everyone that can keep an intellectual conversation going.

Cellar is correct, if you're referring to the Big Bang Theory alone. However there's plenty other theories (outside of religious context) surrounding the universe's conception/eternal existence. But we are just barely grasping the immensity of our home, and probably won't have a better idea for a long time. Probably. Who knows.

No one knows yet. The word 'before' might not even make sense in this context.

Really? The big bang that's stupid Its called the Holy Bible.

Edited by Hipi07: 10/2/2015 12:19:25 AMOur Lord and Saviour Lenny created a place for us, his loyal subjects, to thrive and adore him, thus our known existence and universe was created from just a mere thought of our emperor. All hail our saviour in the skies, our shining beacon of hope, our light in the storm, Lord Lenny, first of his name, master of this realm, keeper of truths, defender of our hearts ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [spoiler]( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)[/spoiler]

There's a reason they call the Big Bang theory a [i]theory[/i]
