A few questions

RE: A few questions

That is the answer you want - judging by this post.

Another POSSIBILITY is that there is a whole committee involved in setting up the big bang.
Another POSSIBILITY is that is that there are different individuals imposing order on different parts of the universe all of whom came after the big-bang.
Another POSSIBILITY is that the big bang itself wasn't set up and is causeless and the universe could've just as easily been completely different.

All these POSSIBILITIES have one thing is common - they are equally justified.

A change like that would require something external - something that causes it to change - something like a higher power. If there is no external higher power capable of changing the way the universe behaves, the universe would keep behaving the way it does.

Yes. Go learn about variations in refractive indices.

First taking the milky way; a galaxy out of a number of others. The super massive black hole in the beginning, quasar that followed, the formation of the sun in one small corner of the orion arm, the formation of earth, and life upto us now. That is really beautiful for me.

Good for you. Beauty is still not an objective fact.

What makes you think we haven't? You think you are the first theist to come along with these "profound" questions expecting we'd have no answer other than god?
