Bright flash of light as life begins.

Its a theory - but a damn well proven one by now, and thus the by far dominant paradigm. But then the question is: why did a Big Bang happen? And where did it take place when time and space did not exist? This is where cosmologists today try to give answers. Inflation of the universe also is an observation that you cannot deny currently: we know, by all reason, that the universe is constantly inflating/expanding, we know it for sure, we have proven it, the evidence is not objected by anyone: and we know that thus objects like other galaxies do race away from us the faster the further away they are - by this phenomenon even the speed of light in the future will be broken. The analogy often used here is that of rosins in a cake dough that is working and expanding. You mentioned that book, the Bible. But the Bible gives no explanation on the mechanism described by modern astronomy and cosmology, and many fundamental Christians take form that book that Earth is just 6000 years old and that humans lived side by side with dinosaurs - while science knows and can prove so much better that Earth is several billion years old, 4.8 I think, and that the Big Bang is 13.72 billion years ago. Finally, attributing the cause of existence to a deity, like the Bible does, does nothing for me, because then the next question is: where did ''God come from, where did he exist, how did it/her/she come into being?" Same question like about the Big Bang, only that science tries to answer this question about why there was a Big Bang, where as fundamentalist believers simply chose to see "Its the deity!" as the absolute, penultimate answer to these questions. You understand that I cannot share your attempt therefore to link science and religion here. They are no companions, but antagonists, and they always have been and they always will and must be - necessarily.

Im not Christian so I got that going for me Many unanswered question in this universe so many great minds postulating ideas and food for the mind.

But lets think about the word deity.

What is the scientific thoughts on what created the universe? If you look at NASA website it says identifies something called quantum fluctuation which is; Not physical, Acts on the physical, Created physical from nothing, Predates universe.

Now What is the biblical definition of God? Not physical, Acts on the physical, Created physical from nothing, Predates universe.

Now Skybird Im not trying to preach or convert. Its just where my thoughts are at the moment. As I said Im not Christian I dont believe in human sacrifices, or a place where devils with pirchforks torment you if you dont believe in mens idea of who God is.

Me, Im just wandering, wondering, seeking, its what we do.
