please no god nuts no one with any type of religion...only athiests and agnostics?

Question

our being, existence, the material world atoms molecules sup atomic particles....how do you think all this stuff got here, isnt it amazing? i mean if god did make it who made him yada yada yada,,,what are your speculations on this mystery we all live in?

cyclic as it may be, the very existence of black void is intriguing to me, i mean WHAT IS VOID...o0o0o0o eerie, it's just absolutely mind boggling. oh dont look now logical thinkers a few religious folks snuck in...oh look they are wearing birthday hats!! so cute those little fellas........but really just the reality that we are here now, i'm in constant awe....the string theory is very interesting, yes i will agree

well one more add, because i have a bit of a theory myself on how this spirit material matter is made up....thoughts are real, maybe there is a spirit directing us, now tha tdoesnt mean it's god, but maybe we are consciously creating our own reality, quantum physics. i know it's a scary thought not having big daddy god and older brother heysoos watching your back and the bully across the street lucifer trying to tease you but hey....step out of that couple millenia old thought pattern set up by who knows and step in the the 21st century folks....

Answer 1

T'is a known quantity... Atoms synthesized some 600 - 800 K years after the Big Bang as the Universe expanded and cooled. ... Molecules were not long after and this 'stuff' (planets, stars, black holes, etc.) were the result of gravity / curved space acting on dust, and later rubble, star stuff, etc.

This is *not* a mystery from a science perspective (I trust you know that the BB singulariry was comprise of ALL the matter/energy in the Universe (remembering Einstein's equivalency principle, known by the equation E=MC2.)

Answer 2

People, who do NOT believe in evolution, always say "how could all this come together?" They seem to forget that it took billions and billions and billions of years (and even longer than that) for this "stuff" to come together. Cosmic "dust" and "derbies" constantly come together, but it takes an unimaginable amount of time to form a planet. And then an unimaginable amount of time to form the most simple one-cell organism.
BUT where all this "stuff" came from? Where the first organic matter came from? From space. How did it "appear" in space? It always existed! It didn't appear, it was not created. It was always there and it is still there. The Universe always existed and right now, right at this moment some other planet somewhere is going through the same process.
It's VERY hard to imagine this, but this is the way it is. There's no God, who created the Universe, there was no "original" Big Bang.
The Universe has no beginning and no end in time and in size.
I'm not a scientist and I cannot explain it any better, but I hope you get an idea.
I'm sure you'll get a bunch of different answers and I'll get a lot of "thumbs down." Well, it's OK.

Answer 3

The physical world is a reflection of the metaphysical world. It is the balance that must exist. Good/bad, light/dark, ying/yang. If you take God out of the equation as an entity that is responsible for our existence then you automatically assume that everything know and unknown has always existed and will always exist. This is obviously true because we are here, now. The theory of infinite numbers says that if it is possible for anything to happen once, then it has already happened an infinite number of times and will happen again an infinite number of times, no matter how small the odds. This means that the big bang has happened an infinite number of times and will happen again an infinite number of times. Time is just a measure of movement and only exists for those that can measure movement. Time does not exist in the metaphysical realm. The known Universe, Galaxies, Stars, Planets, Atoms, molecules, and sub atomic particles are only relevant because we wish to justify our existence and somehow prove that we are real and not just someones imagination......Peace

Answer 4

It truly is a mystery, from the time a person first imagined the thought of existance. Every thing that exist, was either created or evolved. But the idea of something coming from something prior to it's present existance is purely cosmic in reality to some extent. Where do you come from and so on and so on? Most men of science can not explain the mystery of life for that matter most people living today may not really grasp the actual nature of things past, present and future. There is an answer out there, deep into the time continuim, our self propelled imaginations are of little use to us if we refuse to allow the unthinkables to present themselves to us. We as humans are by nature nomadic, archaic in some ways:
1) We still desire to hunt like the ancients of times passed.
2) We have vegetables gardens in our backyards.
3) Fishermen actually enjoy sitting in a boat all day, for fun.
4) Most marriages end in divorce, some don't even get married.
In others we desire the modern necessities of life:
1) Computers, can't live without them.
2) MP3
3) Cell phones
4) Numerous TV channels
Our pride and greed will keep most people throughout their life times away from seeking and eventually knowing the truth. I hunt and fish at the store and I but all my vegetables and fruits including bread and the great dairy products. Marriage is private and quiet personal. Computer, ipods, cells and tv is a good way to spend money you don't have on products that will be outdated in six months so save up for new products from China at your local Wal-Mart stores. I know where I came from and the existance of life.

Answer 5

Dust. 1 dust particle stuck to another.then another and so on. Millions of years go by and eventually u have a large "rock" in the sky(earth) Hurling through space it gets caught in to a gravity pull with another "rock" The rest of the theory of revolution takes over. Science kills beauty doesn't it. Not at fanciful as when the speak about "Adam and Eve" YAK!

Answer 6

I think everything has always existed, and it all cycles back and forth endlessly between energy and matter.

It's also entirely possible that what we perceive as duality is actually not, and that the universe may be radically different from what we think it is.

The cool part is this... we're slowly figuring it all out, and because you don't buy into the religious crap, you get to be a part of this great unraveling. Isn't it sad that the goddies must stay trapped in their glass boxes, never getting to experience the endless revelations that come with LEARNING THE TRUTH!

Answer 7

You are thinking in a linear fashion; beginning and end. Perhaps the universe was always here and time may be cyclic. Because we do not know is not a reason for an " argument from ignorance, or incredulity " positing some " magic man " as cause.

Answer 8

Well I believe in God and yes I think He created everything yada yada yada...but the thing is I want to know HOW as well! Everything around us is really is amazing. Y'know we know so much yet so little! It may be impossible but I look forward to the day we igure out at least 50% of it all. It may not be within my lifetime but just the thought is exciting!

Answer 9

Prior to the big bang?

I am not up on the the latest hypotheses, but I believe M theory is looking like the best to date.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory

Thinking about the big bang being an explosion of 3 dimensional space over time (as opposed to an explosion in 3D space) torques my brain. Thinking in 11 dimensional space/time - forget it. I have to trust that the peer review process works.

Answer 10

I just think, that in the bigger picture of the universe and time, and all that heavy stuff, we are so much more incredibly insignificant than we realize. It also strikes me as rather arrogant of us as a species to claim some divine right to importance from some benevolent, omnipresent being. We are the results of unfathomable and ridiculously complex series of chemical reactions happening over zillions of years; To say that we were all 'poofed' into existence in a short period of time for some grand purpose is absurd. Don't get me wrong, religion is important, and humans need religion to survive in a society. Hell, religion is just another result of one of those complex chemical reactions, taking place in your brain right this moment. It is nice to think that each one of our lives has a purpose, a significance to something larger than ourselves. But it is much, much scarier to accept that you are just a blob of atoms, a chemical reaction that will eventually use up all it's reactants and burn out.

Answer 11

The truth is: I really don't think about it. I'm here, I have a life, I enjoy myself, so beyond that, why worry about it? I had to study that stuff in biology class (two years of it!), and I passed the tests, so I don't have to study it anymore. There are much more important things to think about. I leave the existentialist stuff to the navel-contemplative types. I'd rather go to the beach and look at the women in the dental-floss swimwear.
