welcome wallacet.

in the immortal words of neil tyson:

"May the (three) forces be with you. (You'd disintegrate without them).
Everything we know and understand about the Universe is driven by just three forces: Strong-Nuclear, Electro-Weak, & Gravity"

If anything is worthy of being "worshiped" as a god, it is the universe. It did create you, although unconsciously.

Also, Tiberius is spot on with his Big Bang explanation. I'm tired of seeing people say, "LOL HOW DID NOTHING EXPLODE INTO EVERYTHING?"

Welcome, btw.

The Universe = nothing. According to Hawkings and Krauss.

The big bang was just nothing expanding.

Yes but nothing is still something. Empty space has energy.

"An infinitesimal singularity which appeared out of nowhere for reasons unknown. This is the Big Bang theory." Maybe I should've said something like that.

Nothing in the Big Bang theory actually require the universe to have begun with an infinitesimal singularity. One could conceive of an exact opposite scenario - Universe begins as an infinity and stayed an infinity, but each portion of it grew as big bang - that would fit just as well within the Big Bang theory.

But what if the average energy of empty space is itself a slow varying quantum flucturation that would eventually average out to zero?

Out of nothing comes everything, into nothing go everything.

I agree I guess my main point is to realise there are many things we don't know about the universe, it's origins and existence which we may never know or even be capable of comprehending.

Coming up with an improbable scenario, insist it be true despite the improbability, and asserting the knowledge came from an unvariafiable, but higher, source, is no way to ever learn the real limits of what we are capable of comprehending.

Ah but - that's empty space, not nothing.

Nothing is nothing. 1-1=0
