I know a lot of you Biblers will be quick to say that God created everything and I believe in the same thing. PLEASE... I don't want to hear from any more Biblers today!!!
I want to hear from the intellectual ones who actually know what's going on. Where is the universe going? How did it began?
Can you provide a link for me that can tell me in an easy way how it all began? Do black holes lead matter to white holes? What is in the very middle of the universe?
I can tell you what I know. I know we live in a heliocentric solar system with it's own star, and that there are billions of stars in our galaxy, and that there are billions of galaxies in the known universe. I know there is a black hole in the middle of each of these galaxies that transport matter into an area no longer visible to us. I have recently learned about other dimensions where unseen material exists in total chaos, or is this just a theory?
Please help me understand the nature of things?

I can't tell you how many times I asked, "Where did the Big Bang come from?"
Yet you guys continue to say that all matter has forever came from a single Big Bang. What was before the Big Bang? Was it chaos? What is the nature of the chaos? Do we see chaos in our everyday life? Do we feel it in the air? What does complete and utter chaos look like? Do they sell it at the marketplace under a different name? When it's dark, is it from lack of chaos?

Right now in Physics there are several competing theories and unfortunately no way to experimentally tell us which one is the right direction.
The latest computational treatment of the problems facing quantum physics has led to a way of thinking called string or super string theory. Brian Greenes "The Elegant Universe" has a good historical explanation of how physicists have come to string theory as well as an explanation of it.
It has long been known in quantum mechanics that there are extra dimensions besides the four (x,y,z,time) we are familiar with. The question is how many? String theory says there are 11 dimensions as well as hundreds of millions of universes most of which we could never interact with.
This has not set well with classical quantum physicists even though mathematically it seems to make sense.
The big problem is that there has been very little investment worldwide in theoretical physics since nobody is racing to build a bigger bomb. The first newer/bigger super collider (LHC at Cern) in 35 years will open up for business next year and it should offer some insight into the questions at hand...and will no doubt lead to more questions.

I don't understand why evolutionists and creationists can't accept the fact that both theories are probably true.
I was raised to believe that God created the heavens and the Earth. Some of my secular friends believe that the universe came about as the result of a "big bang".
Why is it so difficult to assume that maybe God created the "big bang" that started the whole evolutionary process, which eventually ended with homosapiens inhabiting this planet?
I'm not a religious person today (organized religion is just another big business from my perspective), but I can believe that there is some spiritual dimension or "intelligent designer" out there that "created" the world through a process of "evolution". Why is it so difficult to accept that this planet started with water and insects, which evolved into small animals, which evolved into dinosaurs, which evolved into apes, which evolved into Adam and Eve, all "designed" by some superior being? -RKO-

The big bang. The universe began as a tiny speck containing all matter, which blew up billions of years ago in a massive explosion, called the Big Bang. It's been getting bigger ever since, as galaxies fly away from one another. This may go on forever, or the universe might reach a certain size, and then maintain a steady state, or it could begin to shrink. All the planets, stars, galaxies, and other matter might squeeze back together to form a tiny speck as the opposite of the big bang - the big crunch.
Did a supreme, omnipotent deity "create" the big bang? I don't believe so. It is thought that the Big Bang (the microscopic ball of matter) contained time itself.
In response to your additional post: NOTHING was before the big bang. The big bang contained TIME ITSELF. This little speck contained ALL matter (including time).

If the universe has a source, does the source hava a source? What about the source of the source? Does which have a source? you be conscious, faster or later, you may want to provide that there is a ingredient of infinity-both an unlimited regression of sources, or one source it is limitless in time. in accordance with Occam's Razor, i will assume that the universe is limitless . As an aside, even if it is limitless or 'only' 14 billion years old makes no longer one distinction to us.

From everything I've read scientists honestly don't know what came before the Big Bang. We only know that all the particles/energy in our current universe was once squeezed down to the size of the head of a pin, and with that much mass/energy it exploded and over time formed the universe we have today.

You want a link to this question??? UH try getting a PhD in Physics and then you may be equipped to begin to deal with it.
But to start you in the right direction, try a class in Physics at your local community college...or at least a textbook even if its a high school text. It will give you some insight into what you are asking. There is no EASY way as you are asking...in order to understand something like this you are going to have to work very hard to understand...unless of course you want to go back to the bible thumpers...that's the easy way.

i believe in god, and i go to a christian school, but what they taught me was that god created the earth in a single spontaneous moment. it started whith the Big Bang, then with less than a 100,000,000,000,000 of a millimeter(or a pin head as some say) of light grew rapidly withing milliseconds. the it goes on about how god created the molecules that formed the moon, the sun, lightness and darkness, the earth, the sky, the clouds, land, etc, all within milliseconds. then came life. trees, grass, flowers, animals. then Adam out of dirt, and Eve out of his rib. and there you have it. the universe.

As for sure, no one knows that. There are oly theories to prove the existence of our universe. Perhaps genesis...Big Ban Theory. Who knows yet? Interesting topic though and I agree with you on the Bible stuff. I believe in the Bible, but you want others answers too.

Supposidly from a bunch of unstable gases. But then, where did that gas come from? I think God must have farted.
