Reply #19: Where did God exist when the universe was the size of an atom? [View All]

[LAGC]

Was God inside the atom? Did God exist outside of the atom in some alternate dimension?

Of course, it could be the universe as we know it is one of many out there, part of a multi-verse, each of them having their Big Bang moments in the beginning.

If we posit that God always existed, couldn't it be possible that matter itself always existed instead?

Infinity is a hard concept for us finite beings to accept, but if we assume that every effect has a cause, how could it be possible for there to be a first effect (God) that wasn't caused by something before it?

Of course none of that explains consciousness, or how we can be self-aware. That's probably the biggest conundrum that science will have to eventually tackle. But I believe someday it will, and the very mystery of life will be explained.
