what is your opinion on the orgin of the universe?

Question

please do not get all religous on me...if you do, just say...god did it or some crap like that.

Answer 1

For all you people that think God created the universe, here's a little question I came up with for you to think about- but first a few statements must be made:
In order for a change of any kind to take place, time must pass.
Before the creation of the universe, time was undefined and did not exist.
So, the question is, if God created the universe, how was he able to make up his mind and decide to create it? That would require a state in time before and after the decision. If there is a God (and if you ask me, there is not) then the universe created him.

Answer 2

Well I believe in the Big Bang theory and god. The scientific idea of the Big Bang theory is that there are an infinate amount of universes including ours. The theory is that universes are like sheets. When the universes (sheets) colide it build energy and friction. So when the universes hit with enough force all the energy is released. The Big Bang is all the energy released. Yay, our universe is created, and were the best universe ever. Now the next thing is, what or who created the first universe. There can be only 3 answers:
1: God
2: The world revolves around me, and I'm not sure if you or I even exist. We could be nothing or everything. No where or somewhere. I just know that u are put in my life and you have know life. I cant go into ur brain to see if ur think, so how do I know if you even think or even have a mind? This can be all a preset world for me!!!
3: I am in a vegistative state and this is a dream and the answer about how everything began already is solved and put away for no further discussion.

Answer 3

First of all, I think that God did it.

But that doesn't necessarily explain HOW it happened, does it?

I've heard a lot of theories, but the problem I see with most of them is, well, what happened before then? If there was a big bang (which nobody seems to like that theory anyways, now), what caused the bang? And where did the matter for said bang come from?

Suppose we are all hallucinated threats from another bubble (universe, as my friends tried to explain the string theory as). If we're hallucinations, then what is reality? Were were created by something else, existing only in in an imagination from a different plane?

I don't know. From what I grasp of string theory, which isn't much obviously, I think that we vey well could be part of the mind of some other being in another plane. Why not? But it doesn't really answer the question of where everything came from. In fact, I've not ever seen one that really does.

Answer 4

who knows? one interesting idea is that there was no beginning to existence. existence (not necessarily our universe but that totality of things that exist) has always been. it had to always be otherwise there would have been a point where nothing existed and it would have been impossible to get out of that point. there would have been nothing to create existence. and even if it is possible for existence to come out of nothing, then it seems that it would have done so immediately. because if the condition of nothingness is suficient for existence to emerge, then existence would emerge immediately from nothingness. there could be no other cause or condition required because no other cause or condition other than nothingness could exist. so, even if you say that existence can come from non-existence, you would have to say that non-existence did not in fact occur for any "period of time" because existence would have occurred immediately. then the history of existence would still stretch infinitely far back.

some form of time, also, seems like it must have always existed. because if there were no form of time there couldn't be any form of causality. Without any type of causality, no type of causality could ever get started. since there is causality and time now, we know that these things do exist. it seems like it would be impossible for there to have ever been a point where no type of time or causality did exist.

looking at the question of the origin of existence, one realizes that "god" can't be an answer. god could not precede existence because then he would not have existed. so he would have to have always been a part of existence unless you want to say that existence came before god, in which case something else would have created god. but if god was always a part of existence, then he cannot be its origin, only a part of it. god cannot be used to explain the existence of existence.

it does seem to me that some form of existence must have always been and some form of time must have always been. it seems even more strongly that "god" is no explanation at all for the origin of existence and never can be. but whatever the truth is, its bound to be stranger than we could possible imagine or reason.

Answer 5

The origin of universe is as ambiguous as the infinity in mathematics. One might theorize that some gigantic matter exploded outward, and the universe as we know, was created.

Answer 6

the gods above our god were stirring their equivalent of coffee and noticed those pretty swirly designs in their cup....this became a fad for those gods....with their morning paper....the hyper galactic crossword puzzle and the asymptotically approaching infinity sudoku......

So....when their breakfast is done, and they pour out the left over coffee........our "universe" is toast!!! down the drain....into the black hole septic tank.....

ooooooooooops....maybe we are already there...it would explain how things are so crappy in our universe....

Answer 7

Big Bang Theory or some other scientific evolution theory.

Answer 8

well,i´m still with the Theory of the big band.the universe is expanding and then probably some day will collapse,whithin,millon years.

Answer 9

NO ORIGIN always was always is.. Time is a human measurement of earthly observations, a concept to explain certain motions. doesn't really exist.

Answer 10

I do not need an opinion. I have the " Big Bang " theory.
