No one is claiming to know what happened prior to the Big Bang. Whatever existed before time had to be infinite. If you read my logic carefully, I believe I make a perfectly reasonable case for 1. the universe existing (which I think most people would agree, we are living in an existence) and 2. that existence having a start (e.g. the universe is expanding, light gets redder the longer it travels, etc) 3. Anything that comes into existence has a cause.
I think when you combine the scientific evidence with the logic and continue down that line, you can make a good faith argument for an intelligent creator.
- vjerancrnjak 2y agoIf you take general relativity and evidence for it then you’d have to accept there is no beginning or end, there’s spacetime. No time is passing and all events are embedded in timeless spacetime. If you take quantum field theory, all reality spawns somehow out of immaterial fields without any cause. Others from Advaita stream of thought have arrived at a place where the absolute is not God at all and don’t need physics to reason about that. In their terms we are all God with a problem of mistaken identity. Reality is already timeless, deathless.
