Assuming everything has a beggining and an ending , speculate on the origins of matter...reality...God ?

Question

- what exited before / caused the big bang ?

Answer 1

Well, why don't you read the Holy Bible and tell me what you think, ok?

Answer 2

well

what we all know(from science)

is that all matter has to come from some where due to the law of conservation of mass

and one theory is that the big bang caused an outburst of energy which eventually created the universe

and that as of now the universe, because of the energy, is still growing but when that energy is gone, the universe will start to shrink or disappear

but know as to god

you have to think

where did mass first come from

it had to come from some where

and to that you turn to spirituality to answer this question

and thus god

so i am stating in what Thomas Aquanius said during the renaissance

both reason and spirituality can reconcile together

Answer 3

It's a problem assuming "everything has a beginning." You stack the deck by limiting answers.  Basically, in theology God has no beginning.  That's theology.  Science in this area is all theory.  Another theological question is: Is time in God or is God in time. Theologically, the correct answer is that time is in God, that is to say that God started it, created it (and we really don't know what it is exactly, although Einstein probably came closest).  The matter of beginnings has to do with time.  So,  since you included God, lets put it this way.  God is without beginning, and at some point created, including what we have discovered of the Big Bang, and also time and all reality, except His own.  Plus, how do you know, in addition, that everything has "an ending" ? Have you heard that nothing ceases to exist, just changes form (water becomes steam, comes back as rain, etc.)?
