>>21686487obviously we are uncertain about that. but "god" is a silly answer since it just begs the question, how or why did god form and what was before that. and if it's "god was always there" then that's just like saying "the universe was always there". neither are satisfying
but yeah just ask any theoretical physicist that question. like 97% are atheists. they have differing views
i think some tend to think that like time and maybe even space are both emergent, though that doesn't really answer anything either. and there are simulation hypotheses but that also just pushes the question back because then what created the universe the simulators are in
i think this is just always going to be a very uncertain question for like tens of thousands of years if not longer (if humans or successor beings survive that long)
i can think of a lot of things i think are NOT true (like panpsychism), but as for what actually is true, i have no clue
