It seemed kinda related to the previous posts, but maybe not.

So you don't wish to clarify your point? It wasn't related to religion? |
Well if it existed before the big bang maybe it is eternal. Like God is supposed to be. Maybe Gravity and the other 3 fundamental forces are God. But then I don't think that explains life on earth. Life on earth is made possible by gravity, but it cant be explained just by gravity. So I have no point to clarify really. Not looking for an argument. |
No one knows if there even was a "before" the big bang, or if anything, including time, existed before it. However fascinating this stuff seems (and it is so to me too), this is an area that is difficult for the most learned and brilliant cosmologists, and that has no practical use for any theological basis. When people try that you get into ridiculous Deepak Chopra "quantum this and quantum that" nonsense. I suggest you keep your spiritual and your scientific lives separate because one will not support the other. You say "But then I don't think that explains life on earth" and that is 100% true. Abiogenesis is a different topic altogether. As for " Maybe Gravity and the other 3 fundamental forces are God" well that to me is "defining god into existence" like saying my coffee mug is god and my coffee mug exists, therefore.... It's also similar to the "god of the gaps" concept which attributes everything we don't understand to god until we understand it. You can read populist books by Hawking and Lawrence Krauss which try to cover this ground, but I will warn you in advance, they are hard reading as they go, and both those men are/were atheist. |
| Do you ever wonder if there are other "Gods". Like not as a sin, God is God and the only God WE know and worship. But maybe he has a brother, Rod, and a sister, Dod, who each got their own solar systems to run? |
| Maybe He was planning ahead- He created them b/c we are likely going to need a new planet one day. Hopefully the Noah of the 2X Century will be listening and paying attention to when to build the Interstellar Ark. |
God would have mentioned this in Genesis. He created the heaven (singular) and the earth. I take heaven to mean everything that is out there. (And the sun on the third day don't forget. . On the other hand, Zeus had brothers, and the Hindus have multiple gods, so yeah, it is possible.

What?!? He's gonna kill all of us again except one family? Sonofagun.... |
Assume "the earth" means our planet, the third stone from the sun. Does "heaven" mean everything else, all 200 billion to two trillion galaxies? Plus all the nether regions? |
Yeah, that's the way I read it. It's open to interpretation of course. But I don't want to consider your "nether regions." |
What are the other 200 billion-2 trillion galaxies for then? |
What? |
Why did god create 200 billion - 2 trillion other galaxies if they are all lumped in as "heaven", and everything else is one planet earth? |
Who knows. I took it to mean the earth is, as you said, the third rock from the sun, and "heaven" is everything else out there. Maybe the writer didn't want to take the time to say "and 200 billion to 2 trillion other galaxies."? |
I am not asking about the writer. I am asking why did god make such a huge universe if he only wanted sentient people on this one little planet? |
