Problems understanding naturalistically the beginning of the universe
#14
RE: Problems understanding naturalistically the beginning of the universe
Like has been pointed out, we cannot tell what happened before the big bang... Such is the nature of the singularity.
Because we cannot tell anything, we arbitrarily place the start of our universe at that point.

All the space-time in or universe was contained in that singularity... If there is any space-time beyond it, we cannot tell, but it cannot be ruled out.
If there is an entity beyond our universe which created it...there may be other similar entities creating similar universes... There may be whole "universities" for those entities dedicated to creating singularities that lead to universes.
If there is space-time beyond our universe, then Krauss's "universe from nothing" notion may be right...

Answers exist, each opens its own little box of extra questions.
Your theist answer is no exception.
