I don't understand tho how something can have always existed... If that is the case then one of the biggest arguments that I've heard people use against the possibility of there being A God or Gods etc... is false...
If we know that something could never come from nothing... would it not be safe to assume that "something" has always existed? To me, it would seem most reasonable that something came from something... rather than nothing. Just an idea, throw it around a bit, but never hang on too tightly, if you squeeze too tight that idea may turn into the dreaded...BELIEF! DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN!
"Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astounding universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy."

Not trying to be facile, but .... the Big Bang.
"Before" the BB, our timespace simply didn't exist. No 'then" and no "there". The moment the hot dense dot of here&now "precipitated" from [indescribable], "here" and "now" assumed meaning. This is the best of my understanding of a difficult concept. cn

I give + rep for good answers to my questions and if you give me rep, plz leave your name so I can rep you back and if YOU DONT LIKE AMERICA YOU CAN GEHHHT OUUUUUTTTTTTTTT!!!!
I'd have to say part of it lies in how we define things. The Big Bang is both deduced and defined to be the first moment. The math (or rather, the simplifications that I can understand) is about conditionality: you need a Big Bang to create timespace, and we can only understand it from within our native timespace. There can be no "before" or "outside" without introducing fundamentally incomprehensible space/time/?? continua of "other" dimensionality.
The difference between Big Bang theory and any other mythos of creation, however, is in the fine print: "We're open to being proven wrong about this." I respect that. cn
