Do you believe that the universe has always existed? I believe the evidence that's been presented thus far is that the universe had a beginning.
Once you get over the fact that this infinite void might NEVER have been totally void at all, but waiting for random acts that CAN repeat themselves under the right conditions, ---- SURE -- the void or "realm" always existed..
But just the concept that the Big Bang was SINGULAR and "an only" is pretty arrogant given our time of observance and tools. Could be one bubble in a large "realm" of bang created bubbles.
In fact, in another 1000 years if Cortez isn't right about the death of the Earth in 12 (113), we might observe energy from ANOTHER Big Bang interfering with the energy/matter in this known universe..
So I don't worry about it much... LOL... Never made to sense to me to call this "science settled"..
As for creators, I'm agnostic, but realize that Genesis is amazingly accurate recounting of the Creation given the even tighter limitations on observation time and tools...
What I KNOW --- is that there's not much difference in the amount of FAITH required to rationalize the Big Bang account or the Genesis account...
And before the naked atheists arrive to harangue me about rejecting VALID SCIENTIFIC FACT -- you need to provide a paper to me that suggests HOW all the energy/matter in the known and UNKNOWN universe was contained to the size of pinhead and by what mechanism it got packaged and delivered.... And also a paper assuring me that the universe CAN NEVER AGAIN re-create those conditions..
