Quote from: "nick"
to be honest, i try not to think about it - whenever i do i end up getting really confused!
i doubt we will ever know how the universe was created...
the big bang theory doesn't appeal to me. i mean, the concept of a big bang implies that there was no thought involved.. everything *after* the big band happened as if by chance. did we happen be chance? am i sitting here typing this post by chance?

The question is one of mister Hawking who said, "How or why were the laws and inital state of the universe chosen?"
Einstein has a famous quote, "God does not play dice!" but he himself had a hard time accepting this as his studies disproved this quote mathematically.
The answers are out there, but you're right in the fact we as an unevolved race cannot intrepret such powerful thoughts. Hawking also said, "Our goal is to achieve a complete understanding of our surroundings." which could be the purpose of evolution in which the meaning of life will become comprehendable as we evolve. Lets see if anyone can argue this with sources. :-D
