  1. Time and space did not exist before the Big Bang. Thus an infinity of everything was everywhere forever. A singularity. So how did something begin when time didn't exist? According to the Hartle-Hawking state hypothesis, this singularity isn't infinite when measured in a manifold reality with imaginary time, another dimension where time becomes space-like and past, present, and future become places you can travel to, and thus... *brain explodes*

  2. @night time Yes. If a god exists and it created the universe, it is probably something beyond our comprehension. So tell me... why exactly would you believe that the Bible is the word of god then? A being who created the universe is not something you can summarize in a book of around a thousand pages written by nomadic shepherds a few thousand years ago. A book which is mainly about the various wars and confused history of the Jewish people, with no mention of anything outside of their knowledge. No Americas, no planets, no atoms, nothing. If a being who created the universe exists, its book is the universe around us, not the bible. And to read the universe, you need science, not religion. You can't say things like "We can not know God" then proceed to tell us that "According to the Bible, God is this and that, God said this and that, God did this and that..." Incomprehensible, remember?

  3. We don't know. It might be a sentient being. It might just be a series of unimaginable natural events. But one thing we do know for sure: it is not a human god who gets mad when you eat pork and shellfish and work on Sabbaths. There are some things our minds can not grasp yet. Try imagining eternity for example.
