(7,018 posts)as several other smaller less-well-known religions) has never started any wars in the
name of religion. Nor has Buddhism persecuted anyone when some member broke
off and started a sect. Buddhism did not believe in violence and killing, although
not all of their members were "good Buddhists."
I was also taught a lot of nonsense in school, and did become an agnostic for a long
time. Then I began to question if I wasn't throwing out the baby together with the
bath-water. Stephen Hawking became an atheist. On the other hand, Albert Einstein
had written that, he couldn't think of the existence of such order throughout the
universe without there being some Supreme Intelligence present to guide and sustain it.
Some physicists tried to find out the exact time of the beginning of the universe. They
came to 0.000 many zeroes...01 of a second from the moment of the "Big Bang," but
couldn't reach the Big Bang itself. At that tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang,
the entire universe was the size of an apple! It has been expanding ever since (about
13 billion+ years).
What was there before the Big Bang? And what is our universe still expanding into?
We now have time and space. What was there before the universe began? No time and
no space? And what is our universe still expanding into? Most people already think of
space (without solid particles) as nothing. So what's on the other side of space?
