How would you describe how the Big Bang happened? Is it even possible given the laws of causality and thermal dynamics?

Those who believe in such things claim that the physical laws were different then, or had not yet come into being, since there was not yet any matter or energy. I don't subscribe to that, myself. Their view seems just as 'religious' to me as my view seems to them.

I would supposed the A bomb proves it is possible on a small, artificial scale.
The concept is that mass evolved in the form of a singularity. Perhaps it was already a "black hole" or maybe note. Perhaps it was free atoms bunching together. As more bunch together they attract each other and form matter, which has density, mass, weight and eventually produces gravity.
Gravity attracts other mass and atoms, which are combined into this structure. As the structure grows --- basically it is made up of all the matter in the universe, in other words all the stars, planets and galaxied, localized in one spot to make one mass.
As this mass, primarily of hydrogen, grows contraction, pressures, atomic binding, etc. can theortially form compounds all found on the periodic chart, inlcuding naturally evolved U235 and Plutonimum.
Eventually a critical mass is formed that can't even be contained by a black hole.
In one instant enough thermonuclear engergy is scattered throughout the universe to make our sun look like a 1 watt light bulb in comparison.
The energy goes out and once it is past gravity of the home singularity (or perhaps the singularity gravity has ceased to be a major factor) it travels near the speed of light.
As it cools it takes form Clusters of cooling mass become stars, which form galaxies, which have a central cluster (which heavy gravity and inertia) which cause sprial arms.
These individual suns capture debris or spit it out to form planets, and moons.
As the planets and moons cool down atmospheres and liquids are created by the cooling process.
And that brings us to the end of the 5th day and God saw it was good.
Starting on day 6 Darwin and Abraham start disagreeing on things.

Just to confuse the issue even more---did the laws of causality and thermal dynamics even exist before our universe began?

there was something just not very much at all
it was a very small little speck of matter... smaller than an atom and it started expanding at a fraction of a fraction of a fraction...etc. of a second.
it may not seem like its very possible at all given the laws of matter and energy and that scientific crap but it seems like the most possible way the universe has been created (its not really possible that it just has always been,it would the matter in the universe would fade away after a while) and being the only two theries that i know i believe that the big bang was the most possible outcome

If you know what the laws of causality and thermal dynamics are, you should first be able to look it up yourself, and second already know that it can.

The "Big Bang" is a misnomer...the late and legendary astrophysicist Fred Hoyle jokingly called it that when hearing of the theory... The singularity known as the Big Bang is a mystery to many scientists...amateur and seasoned... It is subject to much research and speculation... Try the link below first:

The universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom.
Try gas atoms exploded. Pretty much nothing there but gas high pressures and bang. check out the links below.

I'm with you dude. How did nothing turn into mass that was two hundred million light years in diameter, then shrink to the size of a basketball, then explode into a universe? That's way beyond my imagination.

Hi,
The latest theory is different. Is states there are other universes parrallel.
When these collide they create a big bang. So, that means there will be other big banks, and already big bangs before us...

There was a lot of mass before the universe but just no space and time. I am a little confused about that myself though.
