I know this question has been asked before, but this has a different spin and may be better suited for the science board. I am asking AS an agnostic as opposed to a theist/creationist POV. I am therefore hoping for some great ideas on the subject. I want to see what kind of ideas out there and how they compare to my own.
I realize there may be some 'jading' on this subject as most of the time if it is asked, its is done so facetiously. It arose from trying to analyze what is wrong with a theist/creationist line of questioning on this subject. There is nothing wrong with the question if it is asked genuinely. It is rarely ever done so; I am doing so now...
I acknowledge that there will be 'quips' and 'grips' from 'drips' and 'dips' on the other side. They will be short and easy to pass over...

J.P. whenever you are dealing with more than three dimensions, you can have the illusion/reality of causal disjunction. Is it fair to say that the universe is a symmetry break from some heretofore equilibrium of some kind. Is this what you refer to as the initial false vacuum state change?

Either you have to yield something from nothing, or, you have to yield an eternal SOMETHING.
I think I have to go with inflaton theory which posits our big bang and visible universe is just a sub-planck vacuum bubble on a larger quantum field. Because of the initial false vacuum state change, the inside of our bubble and the outside of our bubble are causually disjoint -- the visible universe had no 'cause', despite having a beginning.

I am atheist, but I believe there are some greater forms of intelligence out there, and the absolute beginning of all reality is just impossible for humans to really understand yet. I think if we begin to understand the nature of reality itself, we might be able to follow more clues back in time to when things really began, but we have a long long way to go.

I am for the eternal universe theory and believe that the big bang is nothing more than a local spatial distortion.

Whatever causes and conditions gave rise to it. The end of this one will likely give causes and conditions for something else, or another universe, to arise.
