The best theory an astronomer(astrophysics, etc.) can come up with of how the world was created was because of the Big Bang.

As this video states, maybe the universe is going to die with a big bang and create new life while eliminating all life. We may be going in a forever cycle. Maybe we are not the first big bang? These questions can get your brain in a twist :D . The thing that got me was were they exactly like us or were they a different race(aliens). That had been progressing in their work for millions of years and they had been wipes out by a disaster of some kind or maybe, just maybe, as soon as the big bang wiped them out we were born. Theory is that the sun might die out in 3 billion/million years, Is that will wipe us out?. Are we just in a never ending cycle of big bangs? I would like your opinion on this.

P.S. Thanks Saw for creating this section. :)

My own question is; are we the first big bang, or were there an infinite number of big bangs before us? When was the beginning?

I honestly believe that in the future, a time machine will be created and some idiot researcher will open a hole to before the Big Bang, but we'll find out there's nothing there, like literally nothing, so the void sucks up our Universe through a tiny hole which creates a gigantic explosion and we are in a continuous time loop where this keeps happening which explains concepts like deja vu and reincarnation.

lol

thts so fucking stupid. ur retarted

So nothing just decided to explode and create everything?

Quote from Fusion

If humans are still alive in a few million years there is no way we will be entirely within the reach of the death radiation laser beams when the sun 'dies'. A few million years of technological advancement isn't even comprehensible to a person of today, and we'd probably either be living out of the blast radius, or able to shield from it.

this.

The argument of "THE SUN WILL ASPLODE AND KILL TEH ERTH" is invalid because the technology we have now was unfeasible 100 years ago. What's to say we can't have that same tech in 1000 years? 1 million years absurd. We'd have technology so potent we'd probably trap the force the the explosion and bottle it into vibrators.

Paradox of existence.

Even with a Creator, at some point there must have been a beginning where there was nothing. Which is impossible.

I agree with Gyo.

Our knowledge on the universe is so extremely limited that we only really know about Earth. Christians basing their argument off that "Paradox of existence" is absurd. This is the way I think of it:

There's a blackout, and you're stumbling around your house looking for a flashlight. You've look thoroughly in one room, but still haven't found it. However, let's say that there's somebody else there with you, telling you that "You haven't found the flash light in that one room, so it's safe to say it won't be in the others."

I started thinking awhile ago that there is no beginning to the universe, it just keeps going.

pretty much.

I don't see what the problem is. Our knowledge on the universe is extremely limited. You can't expect us to know.

Yeah, leave it too the more advanced aliens and shit.

Javelin, if the Universe had no beginning and we can go back in time infinitely, that must mean an infinite amount of time has passed.

Which is impossible, proving that the Universe must have a beginning.

Gyo, what's your opinion?

I'm siding with the possibility that in the infinite expanse of the universe, and especially black holes, there are definitely faster-than-light particles. How are we not sure that the Universe is some sort of "Giant Lung", in which it expands for a period and then contracts, and then explodes outwards and expands, and then contracts?

This may seem stupid, but really, your guess is as good as mine; because this is what the debate has come down to: Guessing. So I won't try and bother to argue anyone's opinion.
