Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

something started it. Unless you are in the nothing camp.

"Science" uses every solution to rule out "smarts" or "universe making a choice". The theists could use this knowledge. But then again, "science" doesn't do a thing does it? The easiest thing to rule out is "nothing" doing it. I think.

Something started what? That means absolutely nothing to me. Stuff was here yesterday and the day before and on back as far as we know. Before there was stuff there was a big bang. Before that we just don't know but I personally can't imagine there isn't another mega scale of things from which singularities are common place. On some level of description, universes probably reside one packed cheek to jowl with its neighbors on all sides. From within any one universe you'll never be able to detect the others for a number of good reasons.

Want to ask what started the multiple universes popping in and out of existence? Why bother, we are in no position to answer the question. Likewise with the question of origins. It is beyond our ken. From the fact that origins are beyond our comprehension, no assumptions follow.

If you don't like pondering the question that's cool. But no need to tell me I can't or worse, shouldn't. The best minds in the world are looking so it must fine for a chump like me. Some people think about sports all day others about their lawn. They are as meaningless to me as space may be to you. Nothing wrong with liking any of them.

But in a way I do agree with you. I really do not go much past "something". I do not know what happened, but "something" is better than "nothing" to me. NO, there is no reason we can't detect other universes from within side this one yet. Saying we can't implies more knowledge than we have today.
