>>54749056i can answer your questions. The big bang theory doesn't offer answers pertaining to before the big bang, therefore they aren't related to the big bang theory itself, if I put that correctly. The theory only serves to visualize the moment of creation and what happened after it. We already know that everything in the universe is moving outward from a central point. What caused the matter to come into existence isn't covered by the big bang theory. As for why you think the idea of God is stupid, there's another answer. Can you dream? use your imagination to conjure a world in your mind? Do you think an ant, which is of lesser consciousness, is able to do this with the same ability as you? No, obviously not. And a rock holds even less ability to do that. Since consciousness moves up on a spectrum, you can't know for sure that the highest level of consciousness is the one that we, humans, are experiencing. Therefore since we know consciousness can increase or decrease in "size", we know that there is potentially no limit to it doing so. For something to be created, it has to exist within the confines and rules of its creator, for example your dreams are limited by your mind. Our universe coming into creation is confined to the "rules" of its creator as well. This means that the creator isn't limited by time and space, or else it couldn't exist outside of those things. It's plausible that God exists outside of time and space, since time is relevant and doesn't exist outside of your perception of it, let's assume God existed in whatever "space" was there before the big bang. Since there is no time, there is no beginning. Since the only explanation for the big bang occurring and continuing under the laws of time is that there had to have been something powerful enough to create it and to have "started' time within it, the only answer is God. A being with no beginning or end, and infinite consciousness, and the ability to create.
