If nothing is really eternal, and matter was created, then how can the law of conservation of matter hold? I mean, I've heard it was created AFTER the big bang, which confuses me even more. What was before the first big bang? I am a Lutheran Christian, and I am dogmatic too. But I am always curious as to what the latest theory is. The modified, 'multiple big bang' theory intrigued me, but I never got a solid answer for the matter thing. Thanks.

oh and if you could, please use layman's terms. I'm not a learned physics researcher or anything.

I have actually been told that scientifically, for a God to exist there'd have to be 11 dimensions. Perhaps there may be some connection? I would enjoy discussing this with you if you had the time.

you basically curious of how the big bang started. this is a big debate in the world of physics and astronomy but a good explanation we have for this is parrelal universes, which stresses the fact that we have 11 dimensions, time being the 4th one. they say that when two parallel universes collided with each other, the big bang formed. i know it a bit confusing...try googling parallel universes, your answers lie there.

I too am a Christian. After spending some time studying and learning of the current theory of what the big bang theory is, I not only felt it had credibility, but I also realized that if it is correct it is a much more awesome reality than I had perceived than creation. After some pondering, I thought of this: If a man were to create a masterpiece, which would be more beautiful, more impressive? For him to push a button and the masterpiece pops out, or for him to design an intricate system, in which he designs every aspect of the world the masterpiece exists in, and then allows it to unfold, through millions of years, to become exactly what he intended? God is awesome, and this world belongs to him.

two theorys that i am aware of is one, all matter and all energy was in an atom sized space that was so dence and had so much energy that it exploded. (not realy atom sized but small.) Second one is two dimension of strings that were vibrating through space colided and that colision shook loose matter and created energy. (theres more details and thats a realy ruff view of it.).

There is NO law of 'conservation of matter'. There is a law of 'conservation of energy'. Energy is conserved in the universe. Of course, E=mc^2 tells us that energy and matter are interchangeable.
