(710 posts)OK then, thanks for the debate/discussion.
Can I just say before we finish, that I whether the big bang really was the start of our universe in no way disproves a higher being.
I say this not to be difficult, I say this simply because like I have said many times before, everything has a beginning or at least the conditions for a beginning to come into existence.
If we accept that life began on earth as a result of the conditions of earth, and we accept that the earth formed as a result of the conditions of the universe (after the big bang if you like), then why is it so hard to believe that the universe came into existence as a result of whatever was before that, and whatever was before that came as a result of whatever preceded that, etc.
Which then leaves us with the question being a never ending question as everything needed something for it to come into existence.
Are we really going to argue that all life on earth came about because of conditions on earth, and that earth came about because the conditions of matter in space, but that the big bang didn't need any matter or conditions to occur? Really?
