Hello there -
I'm completely new to this kind of a discussion, but I have one question that I'd like responded to (not necessarily answered).
Based on my significantly limited understanding of Creationism, God existed in the beginning. If so, where did this God come from? It would seem to me from some greater God I guess? I know apparently He was always there, but this doesn't make any sense. Time as we know it moves forward, all things have beginnings, when did God appear, and who put Him there? I don't understand. If it was a greater God, how did he or she get there?
Based on Evolutionary theory (again, my painfully limited understanding), I believe everything (life) all starts with the Big Bang theory, a single particle expanding or something like that. Where did this original particle come from? I don't know exactly what Evolutionary theory dictates as being the first of any sort of object, minute dust speck, etc, but it came from somewhere, right? How did it get there?
Now, I know (or at least I think) neither of these questions are really answerable (at least at this point in our currently uninformed state of being), but it seems that both dedicated God followers and strict Science types must agree that based on either of their theories, something which we cannot understand came beforehand.
I don't claim to know what it is, or how it or he or she got there, but neither can any of you, so isn't the debate fairly irrelevant?
I'm not trying to be obnoxious, and I'm open to all responses - just curious. Because as far as I can gather both theories of life begin a little bit too late. There must have always been something before what we all think of as being first.
Thanks for your input -
