God's existence - it is reasonable to conclude a supernatural cause of existence

While many have been claiming the "something from nothing" argument for years, very few actually know why they can argue that point. Many assume the "Big Bang"(terrible name) Theory says we just popped into existence, however the Big Bang theory only explains how the current universe was formed, not how it was created. "The Big Bang Model is a broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe. It postulates that 12 to 14 billion years ago, the portion of the universe we can see today was only a few millimeters across."(1). This is as far back as the theory goes, because we honestly don't have a verified/tested mathematical model yet to pinpoint the cause to the creation of the universe. This is due to the fact that the equation for representing how particles interact (how the universe works) in every environment, are incomplete, this is what Einstein was looking for, a unified theory that explained everything(2). Like I explained in my last post, We have quantum physics which is spectacular are calculating particles at extremely small scales, and we have general relativity that is spectacular at calculating particles on very large scales(and at light speed). However we're still missing a piece of the equation, the intermediate size that is both at a large and a small scale, . Currently String theory, and Quantum loop theory are working to find that missing piece to the Unified equation. The can both guess based on their math, what might have caused the universe but their equations are still imperfect based on how we observe the universe to act. So if you want an answer that isn't, "we don't know yet" (which people think means "something from nothing") Quantum loop theory seems to have what looks like a bounce, where a universe collapsed to a tiny size and bounced back(3). String theory suggest colliding dimensional bubbles, or the multi-verse causing two universes to merge into a new universe, but we simply don't know yet. I doubt any scientist would say that there wasn't something that existed before our Universe, but it would be unscientific it to say that without proof which is why they don't. So you are correct, "it makes more sense to say there was something first." which is what cosmologist are finding proof for. As for the 2nd law of Thermodynamics, only says that a closed system will gain entropy, and over time concentrated forms of energy (planets, stars ect,) will degrade and disperse until the energy evenly fills that system. HOWEVER, the energy in a closed system must remain CONSTANT otherwise it would violate the conservation of energy. So a higher amount of energy would not be required to cause the Big Bang, It would only need the same amount of energy our universe contains. Everyone wants the answer to where we came from, humans thousands of years ago wanted to know, and not knowing was so disturbing that they invented explanations. In less then 500 hundred years we have come right to the precipice of the true answer by measuring a Universe that is 28 billion light-years in diameter(4) using instruments that by comparison are smaller than the smallest known particles, from a planet that is a spec of dust being blown around in cosmic space. Yet you can't wait 10-20 even 50 years for the real answer, you want the answer right now. I count myself lucky to live in a time where so much discovery is possible, and even the chance of knowing the real answer to the universe should warrant patience, but you have more than a chance. There is a very real possibility the Unified theory will be formulated in our life time, so instead of inventing answers as our ancestors did how about you become a scientist and help or wait until others find it for you. Bottom line: -The Big Bang doesn't deal with the cause for the beginning of the Universe (doesn't say there was a definite beginning) -The Second law of Thermodynamics likewise doesn't require a finite beginning -When the Unified Theory is finally discover/proven we'll have the answers to exactly how our universe came to be.
