It's been a few posts back, but @Leonartist:
My opinion of that matter is that there is absolutely no way that science can tell what the heck was going on "before" the Big Bang, because there WAS no "before" the Big Bang in the sense of time as we know it. Therefore, although there may have been a God who exists outside of time to kick-start the whole shebang, there is not much of a way that our brains could comprehend Him or His realm. As I said back on the first page of this thread, it's like if Default Jeff was a sentient being and you tried to explain depth to him. All he's ever known and experienced are width and height. It would be nearly impossible to explain a third dimension to a two-dimensional being. In the same way, it would be nearly impossible for us to try to understand some other dimension outside of time and space as we know it.
