[quote="Infection_Smith@":18920]Has anyone ever attempted to think what it was ike before anything was created?
Its mind blowing.[/quote:18920]

I was 10 or 11 years old when I first contemplated the question of existence
and creational forces in a serious way: I came to the conclusion that whether
or not the universe had a purposeful creation, existence was required before
any such existent or force (call it God if it makes you more comfortable) could
design and bring the universe into existence, if any such entity is required.

Then I tried to fathom "God" and the development required for it to even begin
the undertaking of such a task. At some point, I tried to regress further and
further back, hoping to discover how it could be that an initially empty set
could successfully develop an awareness/consciousness of itself and begin the
daunting task of mastering intellect and existence to the point required to make
a universe and the complex rules associated with a consistent/stable physical
world.

After a very serious brain "SNAP" (I felt a real sharp, physical "snap" in my
head), I was rewarded with a headache to show for my effort: I concluded that
a creational force such as God was NOT required for our existence and that we
only had to discover the workings of this "set", as we had discovered physics
and its laws. Our being requires no purpose or meaning. Anyway, after that day,
I hadn't given it too much thought...
