So in doing a little bit more research on the big bang I'm rediscovering tiny pieces (very tiny) of the hope I used to have.
The big bang is not an event in time, but rather the beginning of time. As 'space' (3 dimensions defined by the expanding universe - that is, what is 'beyond' the universe is not - space) and time are on the same continuum. They began simultaneously. That isto say NOTHING existed before the big bang.
But how is that possible?
How did that singularity come into existence?
My ultimate question here is --- Why did ANYTHING happen at all. Why should anything exist?
Imagine that, where the universe did the logical thing, saved itself the trouble, and was never formed in the first place.
Weird isn't it?
I'm not saying god did it. Far from it.
But the multiverse theory seems a bit more plausible now - in fact, almost necessary. I'm pretty sure the first law of everything we know about everything is that something can't very well come from nothing - especially in nowhere.
And that means that OUR universe isn't necessarily finite. This even opens up a little space for some kind of Universal Conscious that we might rejoin when we die.
I'm an Atheist. Naturalism is the most logical explanation for the state of... Everything. As a naturalist I live freely, and with a lot more genuine compassion for my fellow humans...
But I don't wanna disappear when I die either :[

Our father,
ReplyDeletewho ran from heaven,
hallowed be thy fame.
Thy kingdoms, Gone,
Thy will, be drawn,
On earth, as it is in heathens.
Give us this day, our welfare checks,
And forgive us our sins,
as we have already forgiven ourselves.
lead us not into oblivion,
but deliver us from our messes,
For thine is the promise,
and the fear, and the blindness,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
That's brilliant O.O

I actually made it up. right then and there.
