I believe everything else is fine and well thought out ideas
a Higher Power didn't need to do (God or another higher) but I have just this hard time believing everything popped out of nowhere.......... that is really the only thing that Bothers me about this..... I except that it could have happened... but how did it happen? where did the Gas to make it happen come from? the Idea makes great sense but with these questions bothers me........ its this that makes me wonder if there truly is something out there that we can't comprehend or Explain. was the Big Bang the beginning of the universe? was there something there before? wouldn't there have to have been? nothing doesn't explode right? so right now the best I can come up with is there must be something......... (perhaps God or gods some kind of higher power.......) with these questions how can anyone truly be a 100% atheist or an agnostic?

well I guess in a sense since I am asking this question am I agnostic? but it is much to confusing and way to much we don't know................
Now I am an Evolutionist and most people assume Because I am I Must be atheist. But I don't see myself as 100% disbelief in a Higher Power
so I guess I am agnostic........ you are right the existence of a God rasies more and more questions........ are there Many gods in charge over Each other and if so was there a first if so then how? errrrrrrrrr to much.............

here are even more questions? does the universe end? if so what would the end look like? I understand what you are talking about but things can't just always be there can they? and how can someone say the Univese is Expanding when we don't know if it even ends?
And if there is a God are we Just Tinker toys in the grand Picture?
AHHHHHHHHH I hate thinking!

if the universe ends is it part of something even bigger? or is the Universe it? and what is it? we will never know........... at least not in our life time or maybe not even the entire time the Human race will be around..... sigh.........
did we Evolve the Ability to think like this to torture ourselves?
or if there is a God I ask the same thing was it given to us so we can be tortured? Also if A god exists then are we Just tinker toys in the big picture of things?

Re: the end? infinity
thank you very much you made my head spin even more.
not that i don't understand but it seems to be something like this you are saying the old Question "if a Tree falls in the Woods and nothing is there to hear it. does it make a sound?" so since time is only something we Invented Does it exist? do we even exist? what is it to exist?
