What was before the beginning? No one knows. Therefore, god. Love the logic.

If there was actually "anything" before the "beginning", it is equally credible (ie not credible at all) to imagine that there might have been any of...

A timeless dimension
Nothing
Something
A singularity
Another universe that went through a big crunch, then blew up in a big bang
No beginning, as the universe is eternal
A massive bar of chocolate
Godschild's smugness
A fairy
God
Two hundred trillion magic testicles...

and so on.

No one knows and can know what was before the "beginning"....it could be anything, or nothing. I just can't see how "god" can be a better answer than a tube of fucking smarties or a massive interstellar used condom. They all have equal supporting evidence. NONE!

OK, games up.

I call POE.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
