    I used to be a pretty devout catholic but went through the whole crisis of faith. So these days, no.

    I still wonder a lot about before the big bang, or wherever the actual “start” of everything was and what sparked it or made the energy exist in the first place, but I don’t want to just hand wave it and say God because we don’t have an explanation. But its definitly something I ponder

      From what I understand, time began at the Big bang, so the concept of “before time began” doesn’t really make logical sense in the same way that one cannot go north of the North Pole.

      It’s mind-bending to think about for sure.

        I get that, but then there’s the energy that created it, who knows where it came from. even if we say the result of a previous crunch or 2 strings colliding, whatever, there was something before. its difficult to think abouy
