Uh, we got here because a smart primate species evolved on a planet that formed around a heavy-element-rich star about a dozen billion years after this universe emerged from the inflationary paradigm? There's a couple gaps, I'll grant you, but science has this question pretty well covered, all considered.
- simplify 9y agoIt only covers it so far. A simple "what caused the big bang?" question brings us back to square one.
- Koshkin 9y agoThis is but one of many questions, and if history of science is any indication, the answer will be found soon enough.
- industriousthou 9y agoWell, yeah, but there is no solution to the infinite regression problem, right? Adding God to the mix doesn't really change anything.
- simplify 9y agoAh, but it does change. Given that big bang theory tells us the universe has a beginning, it's not unreasonable to think that something greater than the universe must have created it. One might be curious to see the intentions of this being, if possible :)
