Indeed, its all in there, 14 hundred years ago.

that's really devoid of logic.

Not knowing the answer to a question doesn't make the idea of a god any less ridiculous.

There was a cell that exploded and bam! Big Bang! Where did that cell come from? That's the question that you should be asking people that believe in this theory.

The Big Bang was preceded by the Big Foreplay.

We are all going to die anyway.

Me personally, the Christian God. But everyone has their own version of God. Also, it is hard to make sense of something that doesn't make logical sense to begin with. lol

Best response ever

The big bang is as far back as we can observe our universe. A single point of massive energy that rapidly expanded billions of years ago.  With our technology as it is we cannot see before that point.  However, given how much we've learned past few thousand years have no doubt we will be able to better understand it as knowledge and tehcnology advance.  Saying "I don't know" is not a weakness to me, saying "I don't want to know" is.

Second point is generally down to a reversal of logic.  We have consciousness so hard for us to make sense of neutral natural forces such as gravity and electro magnetism.  We projected across all cultures various super natural exlanations for these, and in time replaced those by understanding gravity didn't think, it just is.  Now if you're asking how we could achieve consciousness again the reversal exists. Hard for us to imagine that our consciousness is a by product of our physical development.  Species existed for millions of years with no need for the type of higher level abstract thought homo sapiens are capable of and without mass extinction events possible never would have come to past.  Our large brains gave us a competitive edge and allowed us to survive and over time we slowly used those minds to create language, art, and civilization.  Keep in mind it took our ancestors tens of thousands of years just to make use of fire or learn how to grow food; the past 300 years have seen the real explosion in our development with industrialization and ratcheting knoweldge.

seeing things as someone who is relegated to one "side" or another doesn't really help in the long run i think but anyway

i'm not denying the value of scientific study, but i think what is needed is a balance instead of jumping to either extreme, that people should see the value in both

and with regards to what i said about god i'm simply seeing that as the initial cause for the universe

so we'd still have to try to investigate it to determine its exact nature but as i said before i don't think its something we'll be able to understand with our current methods of investigation that we'll have to expand our world view

I find it inappropriate to put this in politics. As for what caused the Big Bang, nobody knows. We only have science that explains the universe to a very tiny fraction of a second after the big bang. Some mathematical hypotheses (like String Theory) speculate on the real nature of "existence" before the Big Bang, but they are not science yet.
