The Ekpyrotic Model of the Universe proposes that our current universe arose from a collision of two three-dimensional worlds (branes) in a space with an extra (fourth) spatial dimension. http://wwwphy.princeton.edu/~steinh/npr/ |

God had a massive ejaculation known as the Big Bang. We're all just floating around in his sperm.

First there was nothing. Then the universe sprang into existence. It exploded rapidly into the vast voids of space, creating time, mass, EMR and nuclear forces as it went. Then electriciy sprang into existence and electrified a pool of protein which was swimming nearby, created some DNA as it went and thereby accidentally creating life. Frogs sprang from the pool and moved to Africa. It grew legs and turned into a monkey, which learned to walk, talk and have sex. A trillion monkeys had sex with each other and 4 billion years later here we are. Life as we know it.

If reincarnation was correct, there isn't any reason the same soul couldn't be inhabiting the same universe in multiple places at the same time.

What if the physical universe is just a constructed representation for a higher realm that we cannot comprehend? Like the bookcase in Interstellar.
Looking at different religions we find that Light, Sun, Darkness, Water, Fruit, .etc and other life giving things are used to describe complex divine properties. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
God said let there be light and we had the Big Bang. I got to hand it the Jews, they did invent (or borrow ?) a sophisticated creation myth. Most cultures have creation stories in which the gods create the world out of materials already present. The creator gods and materials were the objects of their familiar environment, the Coyote for the AmerIndians or - the universal building material of the middle east - mud for the Egyptians and Babylonians. They had a hard time conceiving of a state in which there was no material existence. The "stuff" of the universe was just laying around and the gods merely imposed structure and order upon chaotic matter and energies. The ancient Hebrews however conceived of a universal god which created the entire universe out of no-thing, which was a radical re-conception of the cosmos and man's place in it. |

In the beginning there was God. In order to create anything, God would have had to create it from Himself, since there would be no substance except for Him. In order for God to truly have companionship, the beings he created would have to have free will, and the only being with free will was God, so God divided Himself into innumerable souls. In order for those souls to be something other than mere clones of God, He created uncountable universes within which souls could incarnate and experience different things. In order to keep the whole thing from flying apart (i.e. what happens if God opposes God on something), God created the concept of love, which is a recognition of the inherent oneness of all things.
Anyways, that's my take. |

So the universe is a endless place filled with all kinds of cosmic floatsam interacting randomly right? There is no end and no beginning? People just try to pinpoint the beginning because its how life is for us start and finish. I think people like to come up with theories about gods or the big bang or whatever else because the thought of us being a beyond insignificant smudge in the universe it too much to bear. So they try to put it into terms they can cope with.

In the beginning there was nothing, except the one thing that made everything.
Some folks call that one thing nature, and other folks say that that one thing is sentient and name that one thing God. I don't know the answer, but I've never been witness to the sentience described as God, so I remain skeptical of that explanation. I think the more interesting question is where did the rules of nature, i.e., physics, come from? Well, that's just the way it works, MotorMouth. Sure, but why? |

Modern primates and homo sapiens had common ancestors. There were not "monkeys" as we know back during the divergence of species, just similar ancestors. And we do have monkey slaves, ever been to a zoo? Not as cool as having a monkey butler to grab a beer for you but hey, keeping animals in forced captivity for our entertainment isn't far off from slavery, not that they know any better, stupid monkeys. |

From the other thread.
Quoted:
TescoVee. You are a scientist. Others have declined the opportunity to explain to this poor ignoramus, How did it all start? I will yield to your scientific genius. On the very slim chance that you actually want to learn some things, read the links below. It has hundreds (it seems like) of source links. Read those as well. Follow the links in those articles as well. Just reading the main link will give you a pretty decent understanding of the origin of The Universe. I will also add a link for the Chronology of the Universe so you can see the minute timeframes involved in the formation during the Planc Epoch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_the_universe We have these theories proven back to the early Planc time with the math and observations and even General Relativity. Although those "proofs" break down during the Planc Era, so if someone comes along with a new theory that is provable with math that works when the laws of physics breakdown and will reconcile with quantum mechanics we will know what happened even further back. I'm not sure anyone expects that to happen, but a lot of really smart people are working on it every day. Of course that will also probably make them the most famous physicist on the planet if they figure out a theory that unifies Relativity with Quantum. |
