We've all heard about the Big Bang, and we've all heard about God creating Earth. But what was there before all that?
Lets look at the scientific end of things first.
Very basically and simply put, you have your gases floating about, they collide, they react, and bada boom, you have solid matter. Eventually this grows, as do the other planets in what would later be known as the 'Solar System'.
But where did those gases come from?
What was there before them?
An impossible question to answer, I agree. Firstly, the mind simply cannot comprehend 'nothingness'. Nothing? What is 'nothing'? There has to be something. Even in space, there is something. That is why it is black. But then, what if there was this 'nothing'. What colour would it be?
So many questions. Another thing is, the mind can't handle the thought of the size of the Universe.
What if you were to just keep floating, and floating, and floating?
What would happen?
Where would you end up?
Does it ever end?
The last question there, does it ever end. Again, the mind can't really handle this, because there is nothing in existence that never ends, except for time. When you really think about it, you begin to think of the Universes size, and it's just impossible to imagine.
Anyway, I've wandered off the original topic. Before the gases, what was there. And then, you could say, what was there before that, and where did they come from, and so on. You simply cannot answer with 'nothing', as really, when you think about it, there is no such thing as nothing. There always has to be something.
The Biblical view is very similar. God created the world, all living things etc. But where did He come from? If 'He' really exists. What was before Him? Was there 'nothing' out there, just pure nothing, and suddenly, he appeared? It really is again impossible to answer.
But then, has He just been around forever?
This brings us to another thing. Forever. Again, impossible to comprehend, as when you ask yourself, "When did forever begin", you just can't comment.
As you can see, an absolute mind boggling subject. No-one on this Earth can answer a single one of the above questions.
But your thoughts on this please, people.

Read Stephen Hawkings "a Brief History of Time", you can pick it up for around a tenner. One of the first things it explains is that the concept of time before the start of the Universe is invalid, time was created at the Big Bang.

OK, here's the appeal bit:
When I did my degree, for some of the units I was assigned a tutor who was:
Female
28 years old
Fitness instructor
C cup
Blonde
Single
Gagging for it
Lived in the same neighbourhood as I did and gave me lifts to tutorials
Amongst other things :)

Before something there was nothing, and within that nothing stood the 5 Chicken Kings of yore, scraping barnacles off their drill bits and opening the locks of time with nylon sheeting. Then the toner ran out, and the many-legged snakes of IN decided not to decompose novelty staplers after all.
This was mainly due to bowls of molten dog food evaporating into flat-pack stained pine bookshelves and, occasionally, the rubber meatballs of AOL.
Meh, it happens
Prove me wrong, and I'll show you a puppy

The black light is coming.....RUN
The colour of nothing is black.
Colour is nothing more than light which is absorbed or transmitted to a greater or lesser degree.
If there is no light there is darkness.

I'm willing to keep an open mind, but until I'm proved wrong, that's what I'm going to believe.

Is this supposed to sound appealing?
I think the exact same thing.
As is, it's easy to believe and even understand the princible that either God created us or that the big bang did (or even both together) but trying to imagine what was before either of those makes no sense; even thinking about it in terms of particles - they don't just appear from nowhere! Ok, so blackholes perhaps defy this point NOW, but what about before they existed?!
It makes no sense that, one day....SHLURRRH-POOF! The world appears. What if...we never NOT existed? Then we don't have to account for things appearing from nowhere....yes, that sounds ok.
My therom is that we never not existed.
*dies*
