Sadly, this goes outside the scope of modern science. And I doubt we will ever reach a point when we can say "Yeah, we get the Big Bang". It is very fertile ground for any religion, and honestly, anything they can come up with is just as likely to be true as anything we can (with regards to the Big Bang, not in general, of course).
I wasn't talking about you personally. Didn't mean any offense.
I'm in Computer Science, but I have a few physicists in the family, too. A nuclear (uncle), theoretical (cousin #1) and an astrophysicist (cousin #2). Interesting people.

Ummmm .... no I'm not asking any question. I am not asking where or when with regard to the Big Bang. It is up to debate about whether there was (in some other universe) a where or when that resulted in the Big Bang in this universe. That is not a religious question, it is not a spiritual question, it is a question of theoretical physics.
I have a view on the topic. That was a very brief summation of my view. Not a question for you or for anyone else. Really, I understand that your view is different. I grasp your view. I simply happen to disagree with it.
Everyone should have at least a few physicists in the family. It makes for interesting meals. Do some reading on string theory, and you might understand where my view arises. It does have a basis, although admittedly only a basis in theory. However, I just tossed it out for the hell of it, not because I don't understand that there are physicists who do not agree with the multiple universe and additional dimensions (beyond the traditional ones associated with space/time) posited by the physicists whose arguments I happen to find rather compelling.
