It's not like there was just a random flash then the whole universe appeared. Obviously something happened, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that, then something happened before that.

What's your theory?

You are assuming there was a big bang. If your assumption is wrong then your thesis is entirely baloney.



Even if your assumption is right, your thesis is no more than a play on words.

Human common sense and logic should dictate that infinite regress is not plausible and not possible. Who knows what was before the big bang theory.......probably just another theory.

Rather look at what we do know, everything changes and it changes forwards never backwards.

There is a purpose to this, I believe the purpose is called cause and effect. In other words change needs to occur with the passage of time in order for creation and evolution to occur, otherwise there would be no life on earth.

Lets look at where we came from, in order for you and I to be here two people were required to have intercourse, this started the second process in creation the fusion of sperm and egg. Once fusion had occurred evolution or change begins, this is the third process in creation. The first process in creation is obvious. Before anything is created it is always first a thought in the mind of the creator.

Before we do most things we first think about it. (this is an undeniable fact). If we can't think we can't create. It really is that simple.

Now since thought is the creator thought cannot be created, it just is. The bible got this right when it says we are made in the image of Our Creator, that image is our ability to think and quite some more. So in closing, before any big bang or any creation is the thought that started the process.

~~~ Your error lies in the fact that there is no 'before' or 'after' anything!

Existence/Reality is a synchrony of moments! All moments happen/are perceived Now! all at once!



'Time' only exists as 'thought/memory', also perceived Now!



Every moment of existence exists Now!



"The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be. They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman

All 'eternity' at once; Now!!



There is only one moment (Planck moment; 10^-43/sec; "almost" one billion trillion trillion trillionths of a second!!!) of the entirety of existence/Reality/the Universe!

All existence, ever, is one, literally, 'timeless' moment!

Now!



"Reality is a synchrony of moments!" - Book of Fudd



Your linear thoughts cannot conceive of such a synchronous Reality.
