follow the hindu multiverse theory; which corresponds with the scientific one.

I like to think the Big Bang was the beginning, and after awhile the Big Crunch happens, and the super-massive amounts of heat from the friction of all the universe being condensed causes it to go "bang" again (kinda like how a diesel engine works).

I don't really care about cosmological questions. It has no relevance to how I practice my religion or live my life. As a short-lived biological organism, the universe might as well be eternal, and its origins do not matter compared to the immediacy of the reality around me. Thus, I have no position, because I find having one at all simply unimportant. That's not to say I may not enjoy the stories, though. :D

So you accept the cyclic model or oscillating model, otherwise known as the Big Bounce.

I think it will end and new universes formed.

Do you think the initial expansion (big bang) is the beginning of the universe? Or do you think the universe predate this point Iin time?
I think it started with the Big Bang.

It is my best understanding of the best of Hindu cosmology from seers and mystics I respect. I have heard none better.

I think the form and composition of the universe that we are familiar with is not enternal.

Dynamics and change could however be an enternal process. bringing about infinite possibilities and outcomes.

The universe is eternal...there can be no such thing as nothing...since universal mass and energy is not nothing, its existence logically must have existed always... Iow, if it is true that there is no way that universal mass and energy can be theoretically or practically made to disappear into nothing....it is impossible for it not to have always existed and must into the future always exist...

The theoretical big bang was not the beginning of the universe...there is no such thing as nothing....since the universe is not nothing, logically it must never had beginning... Iow, if the concept of nothing represents the absence of universal mass and energy.....the mass and energy of the universe could not have come from it....:)

The universe is infinite and eternal.....I do not accept any of the evolving or dogmatic models as totally accurate representations, though they can all be useful...

I think the universe actually has a beginning, so no. But it wouldn't phase me if it was. If matter is eternal there cannot be a creator.

I think the big bang explains it, yes. Evolution does explain why we're here. It's to help the universe continue the process.

I think anyone that we evolved by the hand of an unseen being should be given equal say as much as atheists. However, the six day creation theory is child's play.

Because if matter has always existed then the idea of a God creating something cannot occur because what would've been created already is.
But matter and energy wasn't created if it is eternal...why not create planets, and stars, and galaxies, etc..
