Does the beginning have a beginning? Tldr; what do you guys think came before the Big Bang or god?
I was reading all the answers to the “what happens after death?” Question and I kind of had a mini existential crisis. Ok I’m gonna give some background here but I was raised religious (I wasn’t even allowed to leave my bed without praying) but I never believed in god even when I was a child. When I was 5 or 6 I would read my little books about space and sort of force myself to have existential crises. My question would always be, “what came before the Big Bang?” Or if we factor in god, “what came before god?” I did enough research on it to figure out that the human mind cannot perceive the things that happen outside its understanding of space/time. What do you guys feel about this?
