The Beginnings of Everything In the Western world we operate in the context of two fundamental theories about how the universe and ourselves came to exist:
An almighty God, who had no origin, and no obvious need for a universe, suddenly created it.
A physical singularity spontaneously came into existence, containing all the principles of physics and the potential for ordinary matter to manifest self-awareness, then, without cause, blew itself up. But instead of the pile of rubble produced by ordinary massive explosions, this one resulted in a nicely ordered universe complete with well-defined principles of physics, and places conducive to the development of self-aware biological life forms.
These theories are equally stupid, and functionally identical. — Greylorn Ell
The Big Bang is not about something coming into existence. So, it is just an original state from which we explain the history of our universe.
