In the Beginning, there was?

Question

There is a large Atheist population who hangs out here, right? Where did matter and energy that became the Big Bang come from, why is it and why are we?

Answer 1

Why do you assume that they came FROM anywhere, and who said there WAS a beginning. There is no evidence for either proposition.

Furthermore, to ask WHY is to assume that there IS a purpose. Lets try not to assume things chief.

Answer 2

I see God as a primary answer to a question that doesn't exist. Explain to me for all you so called Christians that refer to genesis as a solution. If God created the Heavens in a day and the earth was yet to be created then by who's watch are you going by? A day to God could mean a light year. Here's one for you, if God is all and there is nothing outside of God then where are you right now? How about this, God is purposely naive to your existence due to the fact that it would make this dimension a reality. Maybe just maybe, this is a, "what if thought" that conflicted with God's thought and because there is no dualism in God a big bang was created and then collapsed on itself as though nothing happen. It my folks is all an illusion created by a thought that never existed because God never made it a reality due to imperfection. God cannot create anything imperfect and we cannot create anything everlasting including this dream we call a universe

Answer 3

It didn't come from or go anywhere, it always has been and always will be. The big bang may have been fuelled by the remainder of an older collapsing universe undergoing the big crunch.

Matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed.

Answer 4

It was always there. Matter/energy can not be destroyed nor created.

It was compressed down into a virtual nothing. This bang wasn't instant. It took us 13.7 billion years to get where we are now. Only 4.5 billion years ago did the earth form. You can't comprehend that number, but I assure you it is a long damn time.

Answer 5

God creates out of nothing.

Your question tells me that you are either an agnostic or an atheist. Well-known scientists have discovered God. You only have to examine the hard evidence with an open mind and you too will also find God. Go to the links below to discover the truth of God.

Albert Einstein wrote in his book "The World As I See It" that the harmony of natural law "Reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
He went on to write, "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe--a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."
A very significant statement indeed, wouldn’t you say?

God wants to show how much he loves and cares for you. St. Augustine said, “our hearts are restless until they rest in thee.” I, too, found God the hard way like St. Augustine. Seek him. He wants to embrace you.

Peace and every blessing!

Answer 6

It could have always been there.
It could have come from the degeneration of another universe.

EDIT: I forgot to include the third possibility: we may never know.

Answer 7

STAR WARS! ... oh wait. Since when did all the atheists become scientists? generalize much?

Answer 8

Tehere was no 'Big Bang', the FSM created everything just as you see it now.

Answer 9

Look up the idea of potential energy.
It's not the answer you're looking for, but it will set you on the road there.

Answer 10

42. It's the answer to life, the universe and everything. :D
