A purely scientific background is not the whole picture of existence.

Ok. Here we go...I may have some trouble adequately explaining my query. We are able to look to distant stars, galaxies etc and effectively "see the past". Why are there (ignoring technological barriers) events that have occurred that we cannot see i.e. the light has not reached us yet? My query is based on the premise that all matter origated from a singularity. Did this original "explosion" happen at faster than the speed of light?
For the purposes of discussion, I come from a purely scientific standpoint.
You see, the Big Bang was arrived at by mathematics working on things that can be detected with man made instrumentation.
Now that mathematics took into account what we might call things in the observable (by man's senses) universe, and time and space, to go all the way back to a point which they call the singularity.
At this point scientists who are atheists have censored their intelligence to not go further.
So, if you are an atheist you should not go further with your intelligence.

Is that attitude intelligent, not to go further than the big bang?

Suppose you ask yourself the question that point that is the big bang, mathematics reached to that point, but your mind is not all mathematics is it?
That is what you have encapsulated your mind if you cannot think any further than you can do so with mathematics.
That is self-censorship.
And censorship is not an intelligent attitude in anything that has to do with more knowledge.

Okay, now that you have situated yourself inside a box, you don't think...
Okay, now that you have situated yourself inside a box, you don't think you can employ your mind to go outside the box to think on what is outside the box?
Is that an intelligent attitude in the use of your mind or in the treatment of your mind?
Of course you are entitled as a living thing endowed with free choice to use your mind to describe anything that might if at all exist outside the box as crap.
And go way feeling so intelligent.
Which is not any constructive use of your mind but an abuse.
And anyone with an open mind will see you as not thinking intelligently at all.
