I've seen believers say there was nothing until a god created it, then came everything
I've seen non-believers say there was nothing until a singularity expanded, then came everything.
My question is, and I've asked in a few threads, never getting a very good answer(religious people say he just existed, non-religious people say the concept of pre doesn't calculate), if there was nothing then came everything by what ever means, what did a god or a singularity exist in before making everything come to be as what we know as the universe and all in it?
Lawrence Krauss would say that at first there was "nothing" and "nothing" is unstable, so it produced an expanding space-time continuum through quantum fluctuations.
lol
The short answer is that we don't know, off course.
However, assuming the false dichotomy isn't false (singularity vs a god), then right out the gates I'ld say that a singularity is a lot more likely since it is a lot simpler then a god and requires fewer assumptions.
The singularity explanation is also at least suggested by current understanding of certain scientific theories and models at the frontiers of our collective knowledge of physics.
As for the god explanation... nothing suggests that except old tales from the bronze age.
