What came before the big bang? For me, it's a multiverse of "bubble" universes that continually expand until they explode into a brand new bubble universe. That's putting as simply as my mind will handle at the moment (gryn). We seem to always go back to what came before creation? I'd like to think we came from a creation that was continual. But again, that still causes the "what was the first cause?"

I'm totally agnostic, even tho I'm pagan. I do, truly believe we live on in some form or another... if only our magnetic energy adds itself to the Universe, and Universe itself is the first cause. For me, these are the type of discussions I used to have in my 20-30's while smoking a joint. Everything made so much sense back then!
