Again, you introduce creationist clap trap into your argument

Quote:About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of pure speculation.
That's not NOTHING. As a matter of fact, it is everything.
You are missing the point. I dont consider the big bang the beginning. There have probably been an infinite number of contractions and expansions, as that is the pattern everywhere. I am talking about what set this whole thing into motion in the very beginning, if there ever was one.
