Hi, I'm very new here, so forgive me if I'm bringing up old material.
Till, I was kind of disappointed that you did take an evasive technique in
this response. I'm curious to know how you reconcile the idea of matter
always existing with there being a (reported) beginning to the unverse. Am
I missing something? Is there a theory that explains what happened before
the big bang? Was the big bang preceeded by a collapse of a universe
previous to it? I would assume there is some rational explanation, after
all, I don't see how a big bang could have occured from nothing at all.


Please explain if possible.
