::I don't think Big Bang cosmology implies that the universe formed out of nothing for no reason.  The theory states that we can trace the expansion of space back to a singularity, that is to say a point beyond which we cannot probe.  The theory doesn't state that nothing existed prior to the singularity (indeed the singularity itself must have existed for an indeterminate time prior to its expansion into the universe we know and love).  [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 20:27, 10 December 2007 (EST)

::: Discover magazine in 2002 described the views of Alan Guth, one of the originators of the inflation theory of the Big Bang thus: {{QuoteBox|The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing—zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.[http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2507/]}}  I think that supports what I said quite nicely.  [[User:Philip J.

:::Then he created a terrible strawman for the Big Bang theory, it has since been refined by Hawking among others. Whilst paradoxes remain as they always will, they seem as equally paradoxical as God; although the implications of such a being in turn create yet more paradoxes.
