Since this is my first post, I'd like to talk about beginnings. They say that there is a first time for everything. If that is true, then the implication is that it never happened before.
There is an age old controversy about which came first, the chicken or the egg. There is no obvious answer. This riddle leads to the greater question of, " What came first, something or nothing?" Could there ever have been a time before time when there was "nothing"? If there was, then the assumption must be that "something" can come from "nothing" since there is a lot of "something" everywhere. But science tells us that this is not possible. What are we to believe?
There is a theory that the Universe we know is the result of what is called "the big bang". As far as I know, the theorists do not know where whatever it was that "banged" came from. Neither, as far as I know, do they explain the origin of that vast space in which the Universe is hung. These seem like very important facts we should know BEFORE there was a BANG!
Some things are not actually knowable. Sometimes, we must look at what we can know then make certain "guesses" about what might reasonably follow. If "something" cannot come from "nothing", and I think we agree on that, then the first particle of "something" in our reality came from something which itself is not "material". I'll leave it to you to give that entity a name.
A fact which is more difficult to comprehend apart from the beginning itself is that ALL matter which NEVER had life itself, since it cannot reproduce itself, must have come into being at the same moment in time unless there multiple creations, kinda like a P. S.
Finally, the evolutionists who describe man's history from slime to intellectual beings find themselves at a loss to explain where the slime came from and what changed into a thing possessing life.
