I was being mischievious, I know you meant it in a metaphorical sense, (but obviously I don't see why it can't be in a literal sense). The fact that there are chemical reactions (and laws of physics) at all is what I'm trying to understand. Do you believe there was 'matter' or 'energy' before the big bang?
