What was there before? Nothing. We don't know.
That's why I believe in God because there has to be a superior thing out there which can answer that question.
It's okay to not know. That's the whole point of science.
No, there has to be a superior thing which can answer that question. Yeah. So, that's not an invocation of logic. That's an invocation of what philosophers have historically called the god of the gaps. And you say, "Wow, that's mysterious. I don't know how that works. God must have did it, done it."
And by the way, it to for you to feel this way, there's a long storyried uh history of people thinking this way. Let's go back to AD 150. Claudius Tommy, brilliant ma Alexandrian mathematician, polymath. He wrote in the margin of one of his greatest works, looking at the planets going back and forth, not fully understanding why they did this. And he writes, "When I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies, I no longer touch earth with my feet. I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia." He was feeling it. Okay. He did not understand the planets and he invokes deity to help him out. That's what you just did, but on a different frontier because we know why the planets go back and forth. Newton got that figured out.
So if to you God is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance.
