I've thought about that, lethal. It seems like either a person believes that there was nothing and then randomly something appeared, or there was always a god with no beginning who decided to create. Both are very hard concepts to imagine. I of course feel one is an easier to process. To each their own I suppose.
The idea of absolutely nothing is hard to think about as well. (Not even the higgs field? Mind blown)
Another thing ive always took issue with Is the big bang theory. Scientists say the edge of our observable universe is like 46 billion light years away or something, i cant remeber exact number. Point is thats what is "observable", being that is what we have the capabilities to observe. So if the big bang created our observable universe, whats outside the observable universe could of been created by a similar or totally diffrerent event. Maybe the big bang didnt create the entire universe but just the section of universe we reside in. Lol I mean how big is this thing, we dont know, maybe its infinite, maybe our big bang was a relatively tiny event in the grand scope of the real universe. Its our nature as humans to put things in a box amd make them smaller so we can get a grasp on them bc our minds cannot conceive infinite things. So ive always thought saying the big bang created the whole universe is silly when we have no idea how large or infinite the universe is. For all we know theres corners of the universe that are so old we do not have a number for it, and were created by a whole different series of events
Didnt say it disproved. Just said it seems silly to assume that it created the entire thing. Kinda like how we used to believe earth was the center of the universe and everything rotated around us. Not until we got a better understanding of how vast the universe is did we accept that our planet isnt the center of it. Just as one day if we get a better grasp on the universe we may discover that our creation event didnt create the entire thing.
Heres a theory ill throw ya so you can understand what im saying. Ok our universe was a black void, then the big bang created the contents of that universe. Ok if that logic stands then it also stands to logic that this has happened elsewhere in the infinite black void,correct? Bc a big bang is an explosion, every explosion no matter how powerful has a radius. Maybe that radius is a trillion light years, but still it has a radius. So what we have is a big bang that created something where nothing was. So logic would dictate that if you travel so far in the universe created by the big bang then eventually you will find another universe created the same way? Right? Maybe you have to travel through another expanse of void before you hit another universe, or maybe they are connected, who knows. Just saying it seems odd to me to assume our universe is the only one, just as at one time we were sure our planet was all that existed, then we assumed our solar system was all that existed, one day we may find that there are many more universes like ours created by the same or different events. We have no idea how small our planet may be in the grand scheme of things
What if the big bang was just the traumatic death of a giant star that was part of an even bigger universe? The world may never know...
We havent even checked 0.0001% of the universe's stars to see if they have planets, let alone whether they are habitable or not. So it's foolish to say "we haven't seen evidence of life" when we haven't even checked. We have already found multiple planets with liquid water that can possibly contain life... thats not counting the small earth-size planets that are too small to detect. This means that there around millions, even billions of other planets with liquid water. This is not even counting the billions of years that life has to develop on each planet. The best opponents of evolution on earth will talk about how unlikely that organic non-living materials and energy somehow by chance were organized into such a pattern that an organism developed... but what they fail to realize is that even with such low odds... over the course of hundreds of millions of years there was enough time for first a self-replicating non-living thing to form, and then a living organism to develop and multiply. If you're saying that there's no life out there then you're also saying that evolution never happened. In order for evolution to have happened, there needed to be at least some chance of life forming.
As I said a few pages ago, if the universe was infinite then light would have been approaching us for an infinite amount of time and therefore the "observable universe" would also be infinite. However I do agree that the universe is larger than what can be seen, as eventually when objects emit light they will be moving away from us faster than the speed of light (therefore the light never reaching us)
Ya i understand that they are guagung light traveling to us to guesstimate the universes size but i dont subscribe to this method. What if a beam of light from much further away is still traveling toward us? And furthermore they can only guage the ones they can see. Im sure many miss us by quite a bit. Not mention what i brought up earlier, if our universe does have an end, then how many more universe's are out there that are seperated by the dark void, besides ours? There could be trillions for all we know
