>>980705Not getting into the matter, the comic where it starts causes me too much lazyness to read it.
But thinking that the universe didn't have a start, is as now, the less thoughtful of the options.
Explaining it as short as possible:
The big bang states that a primitive atom where all energy and matter was found went boom and so the universe starts to be.
Now, it also seems that things are bound to make boom inward in the future. Problem? there's nothing in what we know that would cause the universe to go boom outwardly again.
So we're in front a problem. A huge, deal of a problem.
What the hell did cause the explotion?
Don't get me wrong, there are some possible explanations for that, be it quantum effects, acumulated radiation, or whatever.
The problem, though, lies in time, in the further question of, being that it had literally an eternity to happen, to have the universe to go boom, why wouldn't it happen, for instance, one second before? Is, to start with, a possible phenomena that needs a literal eternity to happen, possible?
Thinking it is, as far as we know, is prepoterous. If it can happen, be it as unlikely as it might be, it would certainly have happened in an eternity.
You might say then, "it just appears so, because we're here when it happened." The problem, is that we being here now, or a second before, doesn't yet change at all the eternity that lies before it.
An external factor, which not necessarily would be God, as anon asserted, seems to be quite necessary given our knowledge.
