Before there was nothing, is nothing something?

[MudFu]

Lets try to forget the bible for a while.

Was their anything before the universe? or was it always there? is that even possible? if there was a start to the universe, then what was before the universe? Nothing? or something? or is nothing something?

I had people say the universe was always, and will always be. But I see it as their has to be a start, a beginning. They told me that it is like a circle, it has no start and always continues, but I disagree. A circle has a start, it's the point at which you started to draw it. It may contine but it even had a start. So i feel the same for the universe.

Any thoughts?

i think we as humans can't comprehend the thought of nothing.

like when i think about what came before us and everything else i get a big ass headache only a gram of sweet cheeba can cure

later

not enough is exactally correct, humanity has no concept of nothing because throughout exsistance there is always something. We observe that everything is converted (we call it made) so naturally we can't comprehend something always being there, our very nature prohibits that concept. So we create these concepts of a devine power in the heavens that created everything and is going to destroy everything. It's only a matter of deductive logic.

the truth is nothing, we are the truth, the truth which observes thoughts.


the more the truth observes a thought, the more that thought becomes true.

Nothing is your thoughts before you're born, so don't think about it.

This whole thread tells me nothing. I'll return the favor.

Supposedly, the Universe existed before the Big Bang, so before there was nothing, there were billions of years of a contracting universe.

That's also like saying, do you exist if you don't live?
