Big Bang is a theory. A well-founded theory, but just a theory, and it brings new questions:

When there was a Big Bang and before it there was nothing, why did it happen then, and where? Saying it created its own time and place, explains nothing. Why isn't there simply nothing?

The fluctuating universe - again is a construction with new questions. If it is moving from one Big Bang to the next - what should it mean then to think of this as an eternal chain of events without start, without ending? Why this all?

Our very thinking only works in schemes and constructions that in themselves already create new structural problems.

But still we seem to be in need to bring this variable into the formula that we all too often ignore: our witnessing mind. This mind inside which all we perceive and think about, reflect over and conclude on takes place. We do not have direct contact to the things we believe to see. We have their representation inside our brain'S ways of functioning only. And why it works the way it does, we also do not know. Our eyes' lenses are too bad as if they would be able to create sharp images, in fact they project images not sharped than what a guy with around 3-3.5 dioptrines would see if not using glasses. How comes our mind twists and manipulates this input to give us the idea of a sharp, crispy image?

Our mind dances with the images and forms it creates all by itself, it seems. More questions. The cosmos remains silent.

To discuss this, is nice and well, and certainly entertaining, but why to discuss this with theologicans, I do not see. Where science admits to bot know, they also do not know, but claim to know without reason, without evidence. That is no open discussion. That is propaganda. It is not even 20 years ago that the church formally admitted that Galileo was right.

In the end I tend to think the only thing really being a reality, is mind. And maybe the only thing that really makes life worthwhile to live despite its obvious vainness and transitoriness, is love.
