Where did the space for the universe come from?


We don't need to debate this I just want to know what your answer is

Jon, why don't you search through past threads on this first and read the responses that have been given to Mr. Dino's questions before.

If you search specifically for your question, you will get a list of threads where this has already been addressed (many of these questions are on the Questions Asked A Thousand Times list (QAATT).

Two previous threads that deal with this are:
http://www.christianforums.com/threads/38471.html
http://www.christianforums.com/threads/35991.html

Why don't you read these, and continue the discussions that are started there.

Space and time are part of the Universe...they came into being at the same time during the big bang. The Universe doesn't "fill" some preexisting space, it IS space.

My personal thought is that time and space are infinite and that the Universe has always existed in SOME form or another, but the Big Bang was the beginning of this current form.

 

[Aceldama]

Evidence shows that everything we can observe expanded from a singularity. That included space and time. Currently we can't tell what happened before the big bang. Feel free to squeeze your god into that gap.

 

[LadyShea]

How about some quid pro quo?

If God exists, where does he exist? What space did he exist in before he created the Universe?

 

[Freodin]

Answer: There is no space for the universe to exist in. The universe IS the space (and the time) that exists.

The question implies that first there was a space, and then in this space, a universe was inserted.

Good answer

 

[LewisWildermuth]

Freodin makes a good point here...

The universe is not an object floating in space, it is also the space itself.

Anyone asking Question #1 has never bothered to even open a dictionary to see what "Universe" means, let alone has any grasp of science.

This is the person you are trusting to tell you about science?

 

[Arikay]

The interesting thing is that since the universe is SpaceTime, its impossible to see beyond the universe, or before the universe began. However, since the bigbang created everything that effects us, right now, science doesnt care what was before the big bang or ourside our universe (if there is such a thing) as it has no effect on us.

Please remember the big bang is a proposed theory not solid fact.

LadyShea, God doesn't need space to exist he created it.

 

[Mechanical Bliss]

Please remember that the existence of atoms and subatomic particles are proposed theory not solid fact.

Scientific theory is different from the colloquial definition of the word. Scientific theories explain facts. For example, the model of the atom and the quantum mechanics model best explain the nature of matter. Atomic and quantum theories best explain the facts about the observed behavior of matter, just like Big Bang theory best explains the observed facts of the universe.

 

[Arikay]

Yes, also remember gravity is a theory and not fact.

a stupid theory at that, I mean, we all know that little, invisible, winged, pink elephants are really whats keeping us on earth.

Also, remember creationism is a falsified hypothesis.

Space is something that was created by God. When I pull into a parking lot and find a place to put my car I say: Thanks you God for giving me this parking space.

So God made the universe so that we could park our galaxies in it? Who's going to feed the meter?
