if u believe in the scientific reasons then please tell me because i do not understand the big bang as if there was a big bang then what created that. i am not religious but i believe that there has to have been a creator because how did the universe come to be. something or someone had to of created something even if it was just a speck of dust. otherwise where did the first thing come from it cant just be chance that the world came to be. this really bugs me cos we could just be a game in a computor as we wouldnt no (sort of like the sims) or we could be a scientific experiment made from a larger being. please try to explain!!!!

The beginning is absolutely unthinkable... Even great philosophers cannot think about logic means on how the universe began... The most they could think about is that the universe was once NOTHING... Meaning, only space... Infinite space... Not contained, but only space...
They say the universe began to develop because of "unstable nothingness"... That because the "Nothingness" state of the universe cannot continue, that it has to change, therefore, the universe began to develop... But the next question that would arise is that, "why it didn't develop long before it actually changed?", meaning, "why should it be now? not later nor earlier?"... But still, philosophers couldn't answer this, considering beginnig as unthinkable...
Anyways... although the times before the universe developed is absolutely unthinkable, philosophers would still perhaps agree to the big bang theory...
Through evolution, from dust, (dust from evolution due to the "unstable nothingness" state), there developed chunks of rocks... Until it became very huge. So huge that it's enough to develop a core... Later, because of heat produced by this chunk of rock's core, evolution of different elements were produced... Especially nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen... Because of the huge amount of size of this chunk of rock... It had to explode which explains why there is "Big Bang".... Literally... "BOOM!!!", there is explosion... The tinier bits of rocks developed the same as how the mother rock evolved...
Now... you may ask, how water was created... remember that water is a compound... It is simply H2O... With about 2 atoms of hydrogen, at very high speed due to heat, it collides with one atom of oxygen... And it forms water... But think about this... How the heck would an atom could collide with another atom?? Simply thought... Because of COINCIDENCE... Coincendentally, elements forming water collides coincidentally...
Mind you... we could not deny the fact that the universe MIGHT HAVE BEGAN, because of COINCIDENCE!!!
So we can say, we humans, exist, most probably because of coincidence...
But I am pretty sure, we were not created... The world was not created... It developed... Maybe coincidentally or not... But still, there are no exact explanations about how the universe began...

You do not accept a bing bang as an answer, because you want to know what is the reason for the big bang, ok as far.
But when you believe on a creator, you need another creator to explain creation of the creator, so there is no help. You can forget to ask for a cause of the worlds existing.
But you can enjoy it and you can be religious and thank good, that the world exists and you can help that world remains a pleasureful location or where this is not the case you can work to make the world a bit better.
So I come to a reason for the worlds being instead of a cause:
The world exists so that life (not only humans - also bacteria, plants and so on) can grow and develop.

“Greek mythology is more than a theory.”


~ Alexander the Great on Greek mythology
Greek mythology is a scientific theory explaining the existence and functioning of the universe. Some reference books regard it as a branch of intelligent design, although others are eager to remind there is nothing especially intelligent about Greek mythology. Greek mythology is taught at biology classes at Greek schools where it has achieved a status of a serious alternative explanation as opposed to the theory of evolution created by Darwin in the 19th century. The main points of the Greek mythology theory are:

The world is too chaotic to have come to being through the evolutionary process.
The world is too chaotic to be created and ruled by a single deity.
There exists a pantheon of gods who live on the top of Mount Olympus in Northern Greece.
The gods of the pantheon are greedy, jealous, horny, and cowardly. In addition, they have an extremely strange sense of humour and are egotistic. In short, they resemble humans in many ways except that they are immortal and have superpowers.
There is no hell or heaven. Instead, dead people go to the Underworld ruled by Hades. The bad ones end up in Tartarus (not a nice place), while good heroes go to Elysion (a nice place). Most stay in Erebus (in-between). Some heroic individuals can become gods after death and they get to live in the palace of the gods on Mount Olympus (cool).

The only theory I can try to explain is the big crunch/bang theory. Before the big bang, a previous universe existed. It expanded while decelerating, stopped expanding and began closing in on itself again. The universal matter "crunched" together with enough energy to explode again. Another Big Bang. This may have been going on for several cycles (Crunch, Bang, Crunch, Bang etc). It may happen again (depending on mass of the universe, not enough and we'll keep expanding)

What started this cycle in the first place is still a mystery, but one theory states that our universe collided with a parrallel universe (imagine two sheets blowing in the wind, the sheets touch) creating the first "Big Bang"

What controls what you think and how you think is the past.
As knowledge, experience and conditioning through the madness called tradition.
The idea invented by man/women of a supreme creator is a nice concept.But so is Santa when your a kid, don't make it real though.
Science offers theories based on what little they know and understand.
There are real problems in the world that need people like you and me to help solve. How the world was created is not one of them.
How to stop people starving is a good one! How to prevent wars or mass murder as they actually are, is another.
When we have addressed the real problems then maybe we can ponder on how the world was created and such.
But we are far from there yet!!

Thank you for asking such a question.

Like millions of other people before you, we are also trying to find the answer. This question is a reminder to most of us who tried to find our true living heritage. Naturally, People believe they come from God. Some believed in Science. Some have weird thoughts such as being in a computer game. However, from what I believed...

"This question is actually a closed question. Due to much controversy made by people, this question seems to be greatly impossible to be explained in a snap of a finger. However, I believed that we just existed through many stages of life, and this is just a balance of nature and it's works."

If there was a creator I keep asking myself who created him. I don't think that any of us are intelligent enough to be able to answer your question because we do not know what came before the Big Bang or how there was enough gases and material to create the Big Bang, there just was.
I think we will never know the answer fully, it is impossible to know.

follow the white rabbit neo...

Technically everything is made of light (energy - like the holodeck on Star Trek) so reality is a veil that hides us from the Truth.

Neither Science or Religion can yet provide a definite answer to your question - the best answer I can give is a comment from Aurther C Clark's 2010 "My God, its full of Stars".

Which means the world was created by the universe, and is therefore, irrespective of a spiritual or mythical God our creator (God) it is a God that can be seen and experienced everywhere, and in everything (much like the Force)...

Christians and followers of most organised religion believe God is either dead or separate to its creation...

simply: the truth is everywhere - many cannot see it

Q: do you see the light?????

The amount of times I have asked myself this question, but now I have given in, its hurts to think that much and we will never know the answer.

I think everything must have a beginning, but then I think something must of created that beginning ect ec... ahh, could go on forever thinking about that lol

I don’t think we are capable of thinking that far, we only know what we have been taught, there’s so much that we couldn’t even start to imagine

"In the beginning , the heavens and earth were still one and all was chaos. The universe was like a big black egg, carrying Pan Gu inside itself. After 18 thousand years Pan Gu woke from a long sleep. He felt suffocated, so he took up a broadax and wielded it with all his might to crack open the egg. The light, clear part of it floated up and formed the heavens, the cold, turbid matter stayed below to form earth. Pan Gu stood in the middle, his head touching the sky, his feet planted on the earth. The heavens and the earth began to grow at a rate of ten feet per day, and Pan Gu grew along with them. After another 18 thousand years, the sky was higher, the earth thicker, and Pan Gu stood between them like a pillar 9 million li in height so that they would never join again.

When Pan Gu died, his breath became the wind and clouds, his voice the rolling thunder. One eye became the sun and on the moon. His body and limbs turned to five big mountains and his blood formed the roaring water. His veins became far-stretching roads and his muscles fertile land. The innumerable stars in the sky came from his hair and beard, and flowers and trees from his skin and the fine hairs on his body. His marrow turned to jade and pearls. His sweat flowed like the good rain and sweet dew that nurtured all things on earth. According to some versions of the Pan Gu legend, his tears flowed to make rivers and radiance of his eyes turned into thunder and lighting. When he was happy the sun shone, but when he was angry black clouds gathered in the sky. One version of the legend has it that the fleas and lice on his body became the ancestors of mankind."
