For those talking about the Big Bang - I'm interested to hear the atheist view of what caused it/how it happened. I know this is purely ideas without facts, but the idea that the universe exploded into existence from basically nothing seems very...powerful. I'd love to hear your theories.

Not atheist, and not trying to answer your question. Just bringing up more questions I never can understand in regards to science.

Always thought there was a rule in science that you can't create something from nothing. So how did the big bang? or was everything all compacted into one tiny ball and exploded? What was outside that ball before it exploded? Nothing? What is nothing? Another universe? Where did that initial ball of energy/matter/ect come from. How does everything in the universe, stars, planets, matter, ect all fit into a tiny spec/ball/whatever the big bang was before the bang.

The universe is supposedly infinite, yet expanding. How can something that is infinite be expanding. What is just past the part that is expanding? Again, another universe? Nothing? How can something just be infinite. How can something never end, but in the same sense, how can something end. What would be at the end of a universe if it could end.

These "big" questions that science is always answering always seem like they have contradictions in themselves, or more questions pop up than questions get answered.

1. In quantum mechanics things pop into and out of existence all the time. 
2. No one knows if the singularity came from nothing or always existed or always expanded and contracted.
3. Nothing exploded. It expanded due to hyper inflation.
4. Nothing. No time, no space.
5. Yes
6. Absence of time and space.
7. Unlikely.
8. No one knows, could've always been there, or as stated the universe could always have expended and contracted back forever.
9. Things are infinite all the time. 
10. By having a process that can go on for infinity such as radiating material. 
11. But ceasing to exist or transitioning to another state. 
12. If the universe could end completely there would be nothing. No time, no space. Just, nothing.
