At some point such and such billions of years ago all matter in the universe was condensed into a very small lump of extremely dense material. Then, BOOM. The universe is born. Thats all fine and dandy, but I have to ask: where did this little lump of ultra dense matter come from? Also, when I picture this lump of matter in my head, I see this clump of matter floating in space, but some proponents of the theory claim the big bang created space and time. So, what is this clump of matter floating in? Nothing? How can nothing contain something? Likewise, what is the universe expanding into? If I am to believe that the big bang created an ever enlargening bubble of space inside of nothing? Again, nothing containing something? At the edge of this event there is nothing? Does this really make sense to any of you? BOOMING VOICE: In the beginning, there was nothing......except a clump of ultra dense matter, floating like a turd in the nothingness. Then the turd exploded...........
