>let's place God before the big bang

What happened before this and what caused it?

What happened before the big bang?

So let me get something straight... you people laugh at the idea of God creating the universe, yet believe in the scientific impossibility that everything came from nothing?

>out of nowhere a big bang occurred, creating the observable universe
How is this different from saying "out of nowhere God appeared and created the universe"? How can the Big Bang be falsified?

So I was bored at work today and I eventually came across this article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch

This interested me. I've never been a fan of the multiverse theory, mostly because the idea of infinitely many universes existing at the same time seems dumb, but this potentially leads to the same thing. Infinite universes, just they all exist sequentially instead of at the same time. I'm not a physicist, but I don't know. This seems really interesting if true. There are a finite number of ways (Extremely large numbers though) sub atomic particles can arrange themselves, which means if the universe eventually does collapse on itself, and triggers a new big bang, it could potentially rebuild itself in the exact same manner as it exists today, if this is some sort of infinite cycle.

So this could be the 10^10^10^10th time in all of universal history that I'm making this thread, and I could make it 10^10^10^10 more times.

I know the general consensus right now is the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate, but there are plenty of people that disagree with those findings, and suggest the data isn't strong enough to conclude that. If the universe is expanding at a slightly decelerating rate, it will eventually collapse back to a single point, potentially triggering another big bang.

So if I die tomorrow, it's okay, because I'll wake up in another iteration of the universe sometime in the indeterminate future.

Anyways, I just thought that was interesting. I don't have any sort of education on quantum mechanics or anything, so call me retarded.
