Before the bing bang

I almost passed this discussion by. But then I noticed that you asked if we had an opinion. I realize this is an old discussion, but apparently there is not very many discussions started in this category so it hasn't popped up before now. Any way, the reason I almost didn't respond is that I don't believe in the big bang theory. I believe in creation and could spend hours discussing my reason for this belief. So before the universe there was God.

Rationally speaking, nothing comes out from nothing...and in the physical world, because that's what it's about, this sentence cannot be more correct. So, leaving philosophy behind, which, by the way played its huge part in explaining the birth of the universe...we have to consider that something that led to the something we see today and recognize as the universe. Reducing everything to the extremes may be a good method to find out the truth about everything, so this could not be an exception. Reducing a universe to the extremes gives a planet, a planet gives nature, nature gives molecules, molecules give atoms, atoms give sub-atomic particles, electrons give...energy...Well now, to test this theory let's suppose energy wouldn't be the thing that keeps the physical world standing. Let's imagine something without energy: the lights would go out, the body won't exist, the sub-atomic particles would just not bond together...So it may be a good thing to start a world with, right? That energy had to be free, and at some point it gathered around something also made of energy...accumulated somehow...and then im- or ex-ploded to form everything that seems more common to us when talking about physical objects...like the stars, planets, and so on... Big-bang was just an event like it happens everyday where huge amounts of energy are involved....only thought of it at cosmic scale....

I have also read a lot of theories which try to answer the big question... "What is the origin of the Universe?" None of them actually answers the question however. All they seem to do is create more questions, for me anyway. Instead of driving myself crazy trying to figure it out I've classified this question as "unknowable". With the current level of human intelligence that question cannot be answered. This question goes right next to the other "unknowables" on my long list. Hopefully some day we will advance enough to be able to definitively answer all the questions on my list. It should only take a couple million more years of evolution, give or take an eon or two, before we get to that point. Good thing I have a lot of patience. :D
