I'm talking about the origins of the universe. Seems to me there are only two options...
Theory A) something came from nothing
TheoryB) Something always existed
When I say nothing I mean NOTHING. No energy, no matter, no time, no dimensions.
There are two types of nothing according to Michio Kaku. The one I just described(which he called Absolute Nothing)and the nothing that quantum scientists prefer: one that has dimension. A void but a void in which things could still manifest. This is in fact not theory A it is theory B: something always existed. But quantum scientists fail to see they are describing Theory B.
I saw a documentary recently in which theories were put forward to explain what happened before the big bang. Some of the theories were Branes, the universe springing from a previous universe, black holes etc. None of them explained where these things came from. They all were ascribing to Theory B: something always existed.
Problem is with Theory A and Theory B is that they are not logical. Something from absolute nothing is impossible and the idea that energy/matter ALWAYS existed is equally illogical.
You cannot have an infinite past. This is something you either get or don't get.
But the universe plainly exists so one of the theories has to be right. I put it to you that the universe came into being from absolute nothing but we should see this as a supernatural act.
