In the Beginning there was Nothing.
Then Matter appeared.
Movement Mothered Time.
Our Universe Expands.
But wait!
How could there be a “beginning” if there was
nothing?
For if there was nothing there would be no time.
And if there was no time there could be no beginning,
or “end” for that matter (excuse the pun).
So, the “Beginning” came about only when Time began.
And Time began only when Matter appeared and Moved.
The moment when Matter appeared and when Existence
began we have termed “Creation” or “The Big Bang”.
The latter implies some “Accident”, some cataclysm
that just happened “out of the blue”.
Or rather, The Big Bang occurred from Nothing.
“Creation” implies that some “Intelligence” made the
Big Bang happen or otherwise designed our Universe (or Multiverse or Whatever).
Some would call this Intelligence “God”.
But who Created God???
Surely we have to Begin with An “Accident”.
Could we really Start with God?
Start with an Intelligent, Omnipresent, Omniscient,
Omnipotent, Immortal, Sentient Being?
Out of Nothing?
From Nowhere.
Nowhen?
It would seem unlikely.
Humbler beginnings seem more feasible.
An Accident indeed.
A tiny accident that leads to greater things: much,
much Greater.
To the Evolution of God perhaps.
(It is possible that God hasn’t even Evolved into
existence yet.
Maybe We are taking part in that very Evolution).
But then we arrive back where we started.
Back to the same problem.
How was there a Beginning without any
Time.
How was there a Nothing without a Something (indeed
without Existence)?
How did Matter just Appear from a Nothing which
couldn’t Exist because there wasn’t an Existence, wasn’t a Something?
I just Don’t Know.
Seems the Universe is expanding into Space.
For there to be space there must be Something that
defines that space, something surrounding that space!
Is our Universe in a test tube?
Or perhaps space is created once matter appears, such
as that which constitutes our universe.
Space must be infinite.
I cannot imagine matter being infinite, even
containing spaces.
Space must be more than “Nothing”.
Space has to be infinite,
Otherwise we would have to ask,
What is beyond space?
Infinity.
Eternity.
In short,
Existence,
Life and Everything:
It’s Impossible.
