35th thread/cry for help today.
You having a crisis of faith or something?
With respect I disagree.
Personally (And part of my own personal belief systems) there is a first cause to the universe and the evidence is all around us
the nature of the universe is a constant there is always an origin though sometimes we might not know what that origin is there is always something that happens that courses something else but the one thing I always fall back on and have said before on this site, maths is the answer.
Mathematics is the universal constant, the only thing that when we experience First Contact it will be with Maths and so the answer to if not what but if there was a inciting incident is a simple maths problem which is: 0 + 0 = 1
Whether you consider it being a god, a sentient universe there had to be something before, even if you consider the multiverse theory there was at one point a single or first universe and that must have had something to kick things off.
The question should be .... How was the first matter created?
oo stupefying for any human mind to ever ever understand ..
there cant even be any serious theories to this question.
He has a point though.. what are all these threads that similarly themed
all about.. if your looking for the answer to creation your not going to find in here.
I dont know whow to do quote things so I'll just answer -
this was my example of saying that you cant get everything from nothing, it is impossible. No matter how small there will always be something there and so to think that a void of nothing can multiply itself to create the universe just doesn't work for me.
So I wasn't meaning beginning as in a time frame just a point of reference (if that's the right word).

And at least show some effort towards achieving such
quality because

Please thank you!

honestly, i think the question of "where did the universe come from" is superfluous. if that changes who you are as a person, you must not be very constant anyway. do the best you can by the people who matter to you. every second you spend agonizing over exactly what that means is a second you wont get back, so dont take too long.
in the big picture? the cosmic scale you mean? we dont mean anything. we are bacteria riding a sand grain in a tornado headed across a wasteland. nothing feel good about it. so make the most of the time you have, because you arent getting it back and as far as im aware, you dont get a second shot. and self satisfaction is all you get before the reaper does its thing. what gives you that one-shot self satisfaction is up to you.

It isn''t about changing someone as a person - it's about possibly changing how we view things - at least in the big picture.
