What is the origin of everything?

[Esdez]

How did things come into existence? if god created us what what created him? even if you go back tens of thousands of billion years, there will always be this question.

 

[Brady]

Whenever I think deeply about how the universe came into existence and whether this is all real, I feel a weird surge of something that comes and goes extremely quickly.

I personally believe a God created this universe, and I pray it's not Yahweh.

We might never know the answer to this question

 

[Chikombo]

I don't know, it's hard to imagine how at some point nothing existed. And for some reason things did exist. I think I read somewhere the universe is like 13. billion years old so in that sense there is a beginning.

Maybe at some point there will be a time where nothing exists again. But then maybe time wont exist either so perhaps

God. Hes been here forever.

This question leads us to the absurdity of infinite regression.

It's like asking :
what caused the cause of the cause of the univers?
Let's continue...
what caused the cause of the cause of the cause of the univers?
Let's continue..
what caused the cause of the cause of the cause of the cause of the univers? etc...

I can give an other exemple .

Imagine you are a soldier ready to fire a gun, but before you shoot you have to ask permission for the soldier behind you, but he has to do the same, and it goes on for infinity. Will you ever shoot? No you wouldn’t. This highlights, the absurdity of an infinite regress and this applies to events to. Therefore, there cannot be an infinite history of past events.

So asking continuously "who created god?"or "what is the cause that created the universe ?"it amounts to saying that we have no univers.

Me personally I think it's a simple question you have to ask is this reality finite and for something to exist there has to be a beginning that's eternal or infinite

Chemical interactions. I don't and never will believe in a god that created everything.

Were talking about the creation of the universe

Just what I believe, no offence intended.

Where there is no faith, I see nothing, everything is blurry, a mirage. A creator? A savior? I believe in something? I can see now.

Really depends on your opinion.

To each their own, some believe in god, some in science

 

[Fountain]

We don't even know our own origin, what we are (obviously human beings, but you know what i mean) or our purpose. How would we ever know the origin of the universe.

The best post I've seen...

He created himself and then other things were created as by product of that existence. ( all you are going to get theories based on beliefs..)

 

[Our Lord Sasuke]

Maybe the universe come from an excitation state of the quantum fields or is eternal, we will never know..

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

The answer is absurd, regardless of what it is. Either it's a universe that was created by one before it, leading to an infinite regression, it came out of nothingness, or an almighty creator with no beginning created it. There isn't logic to any of the three, imo.
