All good and well there being a Big Bang but where did the bits that caused that Bang come from?

It's easier for me to believe that something happened to make our universe around us, than to believe something happened to make god AND then the universe around us.

>Do you believe in a First Cause?
Not really. Believing in a 'first cause' immediately brings up the issue of what initially caused that cause. And if nothing caused it, as its own label implies, how and why did it happen? It makes more sense to believe that the Universe- or, if not the Universe, then some sort of Omniverse- has existed for what at least we humans would think of as eternity.

I dunno. To state there was a first cause suggests that time had a beginning and I'm not so sure that is the case. In fact, I tend to think otherwise. Time is man made and I am open to the possibility that 'All That Is' has always been ~ without beginning. I know things have changed, life in the universe for instance, but I don't believe, or necessarily disbelieve, that there was a first cause.

There were no "bits" that caused the big bang. What are you talking about?

Every reaction having an equal and opposite....? An object at rest tends to stay....etc? Tis a good matter for speculation until you throw God in the mix. Then of course God is the First Cause, an argument that brooks no further debate. Kind of akin too "I know it is true because it says so in the Bible. How do you know the Bible is true? Because it's the word of God. How do you know the Bible is the word of God? Because it says so in the Bible."

Yes.
Did you know a Catholic priest, Georges Lemaître, proposed the theory of the Big Bang?

No. A first event, yes, first cause, no. One is not needed to account for the other.

Could it be that something (however little it was) always existed, like Christians claim God did?
A theory that "God just exists" is no more likely than a theory that "nature just exists."
