The beginning has no beginning, because it is THE beginning. Before the beginning there was nothing. Nothing existed, and then, *poof!* something existed. Simple as that. 2 reply
i think it's normal to ask and wonder about these things...
but also to not think too too hard on it and just enjoy life everyday. because what you said is valid about things being beyond our perception, our small tiny world when there is a vast universe, even cosmos, even beyond that, out there. maybe a god or gods are not what we even think the...... reply
Everytime I ask myself these types of questions I counter-attack them with "Does the Pope shit in the woods?" as in it's a question with an answer that's best left unknown LMAOOOO reply
