Maybe, you should do some research on how the book you base your life on came to be 1300-1500 years after the supposive death of christ and how many demented minds altered it before the first common person was allowed to have one. These are most likely the same people that insisted the Earth was flat.
What do we call the collective universe if their are multiple universes? Right now we consider all the galaxies, matter, space, and time the universe. But if there are multiple universes, what do we call it?
If two are possible why can't there be more?

Can you prove the existence of "spirit" or a "spirit"?

Since our equations break down at the singularity, we cannot use them to look back any farther than the big bang. Therefore there is no way to know if this way the begining, or reset, or if there was anything before it.
Even science doesn't know and defines it by a well-known anomaly. That would be break-through science if you could suddenly define it like that.

I mean there is so much evidence of design in life and perfect balance of our planet, yet it is all attributed to mathematically impossible odds. This is what science accepts because they cannot accept the truth of a creator.
Where did God come from? He says he always was, alpha and omega, we cannot imagine something outside of time, everything we know has a beginning and an end. So our minds really cannot fathom something or God that does not have a beginning and an end.
So to believe in God as our creator is actually easier to do than the idea of random occurrences creating complex and diverse life on a randomly just so happen perfectly balance environment of our earth.

Also, dzonatas your in the beginning define a wall just seems like proofless nonesense to me, the sentence "in the beginning... There is only LIFE." is wrong, because every scientist in the world knows that life came billions of years after the big bang.

Compare:
"In the beginning, God [Elohim] created the Earth and Heavens..."
with:
"For every ordinary time line, We created mass and energy..."
That's not a good comparison, your biblical quote implies there was a "creation", or 'something from nothing', if you will. Mass / energy, relatively the same thing, can created by each other, was not "created", if I had to give my brief and not that great understanding of the big bang theory as a response to your statement: Starting from the singularity, which contained the super heated & dense 'ball' of prematerial energy, which contained everything, time, space, etc which cooled to be the first atomic particles. As in, nothing was "created", per se, from nothing, it existed in an extremely compact state, then expanded.
Bible proves science and science proves the bible. Yes, got to look beyond the words and sometimes at the elements of the page itself.
Science disproves the bible, unless you move the goalposts and say it was just a metaphor or something. The bible proves nothing, certainly not science either. If you're going to say you have to look beyond the words, you have to admit the words were not literal, not true to begin with. As in if your comparing God as being a comparison to the big bang theory, you have to admit it was the big bang theory, not God, which was the beginning of everything.
Hopefully that didn't come out to bad, late night posts

I agree ,i undertsand the big bang theory and how it works, and it raises up tons of questions about science,physics, theology and over all creation of the world my question is what or who put that hot tiny molecule there that started the big bang in the first place,was god a chemist?or was it manifested from pure thought?or something more mysterious that we may never know? what came before the big bang and will we perhaps go out in the same fashion with a bang?some scientist theorize that becuase we started creation with a bang we will end in the same way only backwards with an implosion.or will we continue to expand with the theory of realitivty?this topic racks mt brain with questions.
