I spotted this resurrected thread, read through some of it and want to try make a comment or two. Hopefully OT.
Why did there have to be a starting point? Could the "Big Bang" not have been a part of the flow of events that happens to occur along the timeline of universes popping out of nowhere by a mechanism that just is? No god reason, no mystery, just because that's the way these things work. This could be happening all the time and we wouldn't even know about it. Accept it.
The only reason some people want to credit god with the creation is their fears of the unknown. Human nature and nothing else. Going to take a while before that goes away. At least most of us here disregard that archaic way of thinking.
My answer to religious people is "how and why would a god even want to create such a huge universe with such diverse physics, with the ultimate aim of having a planet Earth, just so that people can worship him?". And, after all of that, he fucks off never to show his face again. Two thousand years and still waiting.
