Where does God come from and did he exist before the big bang?

Question

If he was here before the big bang why did he make it happen and from where did he get the power?

Answer 1

i stick with my theory that religions were created by a lazy caveman that decided it was too cold to hunt saber-toothed tigers. he invented the greatest scam ever... God.

"God tell Ugg he don't gotta hunt. God tell Ugg he get best meat. God tell Ugg that biggest, strongest, best hunter should give me his mate, or God be very angry and you all go to Hell."

yeah, its a work in progress. haven't quite figured out how to work child molestating priests and backpack bombs into it.

Answer 2

Which god do you mean?

If the Judeo-Christian God described in the Bible, whose interpretation do you want to use?

One interpretation has God as an eternal entity, but the world (whatever part of the universe this means) would have been created by God some finite time ago. (One English monk's interpretation says 6000 years ago but the rest -- i.e., non-English-speaking portion -- of the Christian world uses earlier dates).

The Big Bang theory began as the "Primeval Atom", an hypothesis elaborated by a Christian priest (Iater a prelate and monsignor) from the observations of Edwin Hubble. It was later given the name Big Bang by those who had proposed the opposite theory (Steady State) who were mostly atheists. They did not want a universe with a beginning because that would increase the need for a creator.

The Big Bang theory is silent about how or why the universe was created. It simply explains how the universe evolved AFTER it began in a state of "infinite" density and temperature (the primeval atom).

In the vacuum of space (and without the need for outside power) particles do come into existence and disappear. The effect is purely random, with probability being much higher that pairs of particles (one particle and one anti-particle in each pair) are less massive than more massive and last for short periods rather than long periods.

So, most of the time, the pair is an electron and its opposite (positron) and they only exist for a fraction of a second. However, it may happen occasionally that the pair is a more massive proton and an anti-proton, or that the pair lasts longer.

The probability that one gets a whole universe (plus an anti-universe, whatever that is) is extremely small, but it is not zero. And it only needs to happen once.

So maybe no energy was needed.

On the other hand, some suppose that God has infinite power, so that creating something that has a finite quantity of energy, however large, would require exactly 0% of His capacity...

Answer 3

your assuming that god is real. thats an opinion, some would say he is, some would say he isnt. either way, your trying to approach this too scientifically. its not a matter of science, god is never a matter of science. thats why it amused me that the dude a few posts above me said scientists can prove god doesnt exist. so if we cant prove something doesnt exist it must exist? how about you prove god exists, u cant.

god is a matter of religion and philosophy. you cant group in god and the big bang without renouncing basically every religion and every holy book ever written.

in my opinion, god makes less sense than the big bang. an all powerful being that has always been there and can create the entire universe in a single day and the earth in another. that makes about as much sense as the arguments people use to justify god. my favorite being "life has to come from life, so where did the first life come from? it had to have been god" thats basically, not basically it is, saying that god is life. and if all life came from other life then where did god come from?

basically, dont bring religion into science. the 2 are opposites, they disagree. science hasnt failed us yet, so i dont see how it could be wrong. you can make your own decision based on that.

Answer 4

You are asking this question based on the assumption that a god exists. There is no evidence for such a thing other than a variety of self referential books written by superstitious people thousands of years ago that claim so. I do not believe in such nonsense so no, no gods existed before the Big Bang. The first gods only came into "existence" thousands of years ago when humans began populating the supernatural world with them.

Answer 5

Perhaps the big bang is the creation process how all is created.

Perhaps we exist within the microcosm of a macrocosm.

I feel that that the more science discovers the closer we become to God who is incomprehensible to us simple ones who exist in a spark of time. Our egos prevent us from seeing something very simple. God is love and the way back to him is through love.

Perhaps our solar system is just a simple atom within the macrocosm of creation.

Just food for thought.

Answer 6

A very profound question. Consider this:

EITHER you have to accept a first event, which, therefore cannot have a cause (or it wouldn't be the first event).

OR you have to assume that you can go back infinitely in time, and "first" has no meaning;

OR you have to rethink the nature of time itself.

None of these options is particularly intuitive, but you have to choose one.

If you choose “God”, then instead of “where did everything come from?”, you have to ask “where did God come from?”, which is exactly the same question, just with “everything” renamed as “God”.

Answer 7

he didn't get the power from anywhere...in fact he doesn't exist, try asking your question in religion.
"It has served us well this myth of christ" (Pope Leo X).
the only thing existing at the time of the big bang was matter and antimatter.

Answer 8

God always existed, and will always exist. God created the universe.

Answer 9

Religion is a precursor to politics. It is simply a tool to enforce policies and to control people. So god was invented by people.

Answer 10

God? Can't say I'm familiar with that hypothesis...
