The bottom line is no one knows why there's something rather than nothing. No one knows where the Singularity that caused the Big Bang that created our known Universe originated. What's very, very, very interesting - is that we cannot imagine a state of pure nothingness. This is the bottom line. You can dismiss any particular religion or deity, but you can't explain where time & space & singularities originate from. Thus, the possibility for higher-beings and gods. |
I have never really understood that conclusion. Just because we can't explain it that doesn't mean we should put extra focus on the higher-beings possibility. The mere thought of a higher being is the result of a human brain thinking, and so is Batman and the easter bunny.
Everything that we can think of is a possibility, and there is nothing to suggest that a higher being creating the world is more likely than anything else that we can think of. Not to mention that essentially what you'd do when trying to explain the world's creation by a god is explaining something unexplainable with an unexplainable explanation. It makes no sense.
