Are You Religious?

[BitBuster]

According to the current theory, nothing existed before the Big Bang except potential. Does THAT make any sense?

To me? No. It doesn't. But then, the fact of something existing forever doesn't make sense...within our limited POV, that is.

I think the key here is that you have to accept SOMETHING as existing before your own personal existence.

I don't know if you HAVE to, but either way, it requires adopting a POV beyond what we "know." Either something always existed, or something can come from nothing...nothing in our current perceptions really allows for this.

I do not think that the first cause argument will make someone ELSE believe in God, it just helps ME believe.

...you mean as an excuse? It seems like a means of justifying something you've already committed to, rather than being a reason TO commit. I dunno, maybe I'm misinterpreting you here, but that's the vibe I get...
