Ortarkod Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Why isn't there just nothing? Where did the material in the Big Bang come from? What created it? How did a whole universe's worth of stuff just appear from nowhere? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Simple folk like us (99.9999% of Humans) will never truly understand or be able to comprehend the answers to these questions. It's only the elite tier of physicists, gifted with incredible minds who can really understand the laws and origin of the universe. You can certainly admire the universe and the presentations physicists give, but there's really no point trying to understand it, as very few people can. As for religious folk who can't comprehend it, they tend to go with the "God did it" approach. Quite laughable really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they know about time and space and all of it only applies to our universe since the Big Bang. We don't have a ******* clue what there was before.

Debut 4 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Very clever and intelligent Humans have created and invented magnificent things (to us anyway) but I dont think the human brain is meant to fully understand or even meant to know how we all came about and universes for that matter. We go about our lives without thinking about this most of the time but when you see photos or footage of planet earth as a ball floating about literally in no mans land , it can be a little disconcerting. You'd go mental thinking about it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerothehero Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Something cannot be created from nothing. Something cannot become nothing. There ye go. No one said it was created from nothing. That's a straw-man arguement. The theory states there was heat and energy in a singularity from which the expansion began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pans Jambo Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Was it GOD? Which God? Who made him (her/it/them)? Who made him/her/it/them who made god? Why did him/her/it/them not just be God him/her/itself? Did all the God's club together in a Co-op like thing to create it? Who chaired the first meeting and where? Which God took the minutes? Why did they create Dinosaurs and then kill them off? Did the Dinosaurs upset God(s) because they didn't worship them and live in constant fear of eternal damnation? Was it a trial run? If it was God, why did he send his son to be murdered in the middle east of all places? Why not China or Europe or Africa? How did his son find his pals in the middle east had names like John, Mark, Peter, Paul and Luke etc when most folk there are called Muhammad and mustafa etc? Why did this thread even start in the first place? Did God(s) put DokratrO up to it? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 How did his son find his pals in the middle east had names like John, Mark, Peter, Paul and Luke etc when most folk there are called Muhammad and mustafa etc? Islam was started out of Christianity, out of anger and disagreement pretty much. Bit like Protestantism came from Catholicism. But how the names John , Mark etc... became more Westernised I don't know? Maybe it was a race/culture thing? People forget there is still Christianity in that part of the world despite being now largely Muslim but they are persecuted. Which is also forgotten by handwringing Westerners.(apologies for going off on another tangent). Anyway, how did we go from existing to developing different cultures and religions? There must have been something there that made people begin to worship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, they're called the sun , the moon and the stars, Pagens.These names as translated down the years as new languages form I.e. the English language. The ancients of the now middle east spoke Aramiac, so these names would be very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of the North Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? Where the universe ends, what begins? How have Hibs managed to throw away the best opportunity they will ever have to be the big team? - we were in admin, we'd lost a team full of experienced players, we were skint, we were playing kids, we had been deducted points. And they still made an erse of it? That's truly something miraculous. It takes a special and unique level of shiteness to achieve that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
