I would also like to address two pertinent issues raised by questioners of the big bang:

1. If the big bang marked the beginning of everything, what was there before that?
2. If what we see/perceive is the universe, what is there outside the universe?

The answers are of course not definitive, but the current arguments hinge on non-linearity.

We will only think of beginning and end if we view time as linear. However it time is really curved like a circle, the end is really the beginning and the beginning the end.

Similarly we may think of all space as a cosmic bubble which is expanding (this is actually experimentally observed). There need not be anything outside as new space is being created inside in a continuous fashion without taking anything from outside.

Now question for the members: is God part of this universe or outside?
