This might make me sound like a brainlet, but I've been thinking about this:

The Big Bang Theory says that the universe expanded from one singular, hot and dense point in space. But heat is the transfer of kinetic energy, so where did that energy come from? How is believing that there was some ever-present "point" in space more rational than believing god always existed? I think trying to discover the universe's origin is like trying to imagine a color you've never seen before. The brain can only fathom what it's already experienced, so trying to imagine a time before existence is futile

Because the properties you're ascribing to the theoretical source of everything are pretty much a bare minimum, and each assumption is at least justified functionally... I don't know if it's "rational" to actually believe this shit, but I can see how one could argue it's "more rational" than belief in god.

No it didn't. There is no single point where everything expands from, you have completely misunderstood it. What is actually true is that the distance between any two points in the current universe was zero at the time of the big bang. This does not mean that there is a central "point" where everything is expanding from.

Thanks, GPT. Not relevant to what he's actually asking, though.

Yes. Don't you talk to me or my boyfriend ever again.
