The Big Bang and the visible past.

Could you go into a bit more detail about before the BB?

Colliding Branes and that kind of thing?

Apart from a 'just so' story for why there is anything at all, what models could derive from 'goddidit'?The whole point is to understand 'how'. Even if a god did poof it out of nothing scientists would still want to know how (I know I would).But either way you get infinite regression: where did the creator come from? Which in turn regressess to 'it created it's self', and if something can create itself somthing does not need a creator.And last time I looked this was a science thread. Superstitions from the bronze age are hardly appropriate.Edited by Larni, : punctuation

Too much information, slow down

No, there is only supporting evidence for one 'side'. I'm good with that: no god! And is still a perfect example of primitive superstition sticking it's face and arse into a perfectly good scientific discussion.
