how did the universe begin?

[fairplay]

At least we know the Universe wasn't 'made' by any form of life because that 'life' would have to be 'within' this universe when it went bang.

Or looking at it another way, if a life form lit the blue touch paper and stood back or more likely jumped onto a space ship/time machine and got the hell out of there, wherever that spaceship went to, we would still have to include as part of the Universe including all the space around it. No ?

Somehow I feel if there is super intelligent life in another galaxy somewhere, even they will never know how we all came to be.
Maybe best we pretend we don't exist - go away all of you.

I must venture into the astronomy forum more often. I missed the programme mentioned in the OP and now I can't find it on iPlayer. Unless I get it in some dodgy way it'll have to remain unseen. Which is a shame as this is one of the more interesting subjects for me.

Can I ask why my post was removed? The question states: "how did the universe begin?"

I gave my answer. Just because my answer's based on the Bible does it have to be removed? Does that also exclude me from giving my reasons for other questions I might like to answer?

Thanks,

I would have thought that a valid answer as it's your opinion Nige. Best give the Mods a quick bell as they will have reasons but it might not be in WAB's best interest to discuss here. All the best.
