    Any attempt to discuss earlier than that is wild conjecture so the only responsible way to deal with it is to accept that it is currently unknowable.

    Holy fuckity fuck.

    Stop using those words. Stop saying “ANY ATTEMPT” or “THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE”. Stop laying out matter of factly that when you ask scientists they answer in a certain way.

    Are you a scientist? Did you ask a theoretical astrophysicist? Are you quoting a paper on the subject?

    This is your respectable clearly limited opinion. Portay it as such.

    I never said consensus settles a matter, I’m just saying that pulling stuff out your ass and pretending they come from a position of consensus is harmful.

    Also you clearly read “The Theory of Everything” or something to that extent by Hawkings and he quite literally mention that he’s going to study what happens before the Big Bang…

      “Study”. Even his best guess is that the singularity self-perpetuated until its stability gave out for unknown reason. Again, one dude, no supporting evidence, coming up with ideas because science is rigorous. Is his idea the consensus? No. Does it even address before the singularity itself existed? No. Why? because there is nothing to go on.

      You are literally talking about something the Bible is as relevant an authority on as anyone else. That is why scientists don’t bother with it because it is meaningless to do so.
