Your position is that some sort of a conscious being (God) must have existed for the creation of the universe. Mine is that that is not necessarily the case. Current level of our understanding of the universe shows that it is POSSIBLE for the universe to have come into existence WITHOUT any outside button-pusher. I have never tried to stipulate what was or was not ("nothing") before the Big Bang. Nobody knows for now. I have read some of Hawking's book Why not all? Was it too difficult? And how can you NOT know about quantum fluctuation if you did read a couple of pages of it??? http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/ask/a11241.html That link is a simplified answer and hence is very limited. It says "primordial universe" and you think it proves something for you? It's just a phrase. Nobody knows what existed and what didn't before the Big Bang. I just don't think you have a firm grasp of your own position This is rich, coming from someone who thinks a singularity is a particle, heh. Message 18453092 At your current level of "knowledge", you would not be able to see what I am talking about if I hit you in the head with it.
