Take the chicken and egg question, which came first. apply the concept to time and space, and also to god/creatures. what is before the big bang, who created God? tell me what you think...

please, no unexplainables as the answer. I believe that if there is no answer, then the question is broke, meaning, if we all agree that we can't answer this, then there must be something broken about the way we ask which came first, something must be broken about the concept of origination and consequence, or even of time/space itself. Power and infinity... there is lies the healing of these broken questions. Never thunk that chickens and eggs were so deep, eh?

The only answer that makes sense to me is that it all goes back to complete randomness and probability. We don't need to resolve the dilemma of [ultimate cause / infinite regression of causes] if we allow for uncaused events as quantum physics suggests, and we don't need to imagine a creator if order and complexity arise out of simplicity and chaos by natural means - i.e. self-organisation.

this is my personal belief i came to after being in the church for several years.
1. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed (Newton's law of Thermodynamics)
2. God has always and will always exist. (Bible)
3. Energy is everywhere and in everything
4. God is omnipresent. (Bible)
5. Two entities cannot occupy the same place at the same time (my observation of the world)
6. God is Energy
*
7. Matter can be created from electrons (CERN labs)
8. Electron is a form of electricity
9. Matter can be created from electricity.
10. The big bang was cause by alot of pure energy becoming matter
11. God became matter.
12. God is everything
There you go, that's my philosophy on on life. I've been told that it's close to pantheism, but if u read the bible my theory isn't once proved wrong. The Bible claims that God is in everything and that he is the reason we live.

Consciousness. Without consciousness, neither the chicken nor the egg would be known.
Think about it, if all chickens come from eggs, the egg must have come first. But if all eggs come from chickens, then the chicken must have come first.
What are the facts? The chicken is here, and chickens lay eggs.
Okay, now what is more reasonable, a chicken coming into being without an egg, or an egg coming into being without a chicken?
I'm leaning towards the egg coming into being through some kind of process of mitosis or something similar to that.

This question is explainable:
The chicken came first. Why?
Evolution, of course. A species can't be created just like that. It has to derive from another species.
The egg has to come from a chicken, but a chicken can be made by evolution.

The rooster came first, of course... Whoops... That, my friend, may be one of the great unexplainables. Well, in this universe, anyway.

All those questions are impossible to answer.
