Now what do I beleive? I've posted in thexse forums before what I beleive. But here is how it began: At first, there was only emptiness, and a dark sea in it. And there was heat in the dark sea, and from that came desire, the first seed of the mind ...
None of that contradicts the hypothesis of the Big Bang.

The Big Bang and great contraction has happened as infinitum. It has always been and always will be.
Now, if you don't accept that the above could be true, you must concede the SAME ARGUMENT for God.
Except that, we ONLY observed ONE Universe with ONE beginning one Big Bang.
Hence, your multiverse theory with its infinite big bangs is not supported by logic and facts.

That would still be the creation of the universe...
And God is infinite...

We've passed the Beginning (Big-Bang), the question is, the source of the Big Bang. What was there before the Big Bang?
Something or absolute nothing?

Do you know what infinite means?
When did they begin
Beats me. The combination of different things? Different combinations each time?
what or who created them?
And you will infinitely insist that = God.
You will always come back to infinite existence.
I'm curious. If your faith is so strong, why do you feel such a need to defend it?

First off, this has NOTHING to do with faith. It's LOGIC.
It's what makes sense to put it in layman's terms.
An Always Existing Entity (God) is the most logical explanation for the existence of the physical universe.
Nothing more nothing less.
Even E = mc2 posits that a source of E must by necessity exist for matter to exist. Matter is not infinite.

The great contraction happened before the Big Bang. Then the Big Bang happened. Then the great contraction. As infinitum.

Hence, like I said - you will come back to infinity because it makes sense. It makes sense that something must had always existed before the Big-Bang.
Question is - what's causing the infinite contraction?
Is it contracting itself? A self contracting something?
No. Is not logical to, with a lack of sufficient information, to conclude "God did it." Leaving it to "God did it" is purely an expression of faith.
First off, this has NOTHING to do with faith. It's LOGIC.

The creation is caused by the big bang...
God is defined as the creator of the Universe...
Destroyed by the great contraction...
Sounds like revelations when all the stars disapeared when the veil is lifted...
Oh guess what happens next...
A new Heaven and Earth...
Sounds like an infinity loop to me...
Try to catch up up...
And feel free to remove foot from mouth...
Nothing created it it just always happened... This is illogical for science...
Why?
Because it requires that beyond natural means...

Again there is no need to inject a supernatural being into this argument. Logically it does not improve it. QED it is not the "only logical argument"

OK - let's not "inject a supernatural being into this argument".
What was there then, before the big bang?
nothing. It's happened for infinity and will continue to happen for infinity.
Who or what caused the "ball rolling" so to speak? Who set the "blue torch flame"?

It says the same thing...
Adults can see the truth of things and deal with it when they see it...
