The more I read into quantum physics and the zero point field, the more I believe. And before you rattle off your typical "GetBigger" stance on the topic replete with your barbs of "fairy tale" and other nonsense...I heartily recommend you become familiar with layman quantum mechanics.
It's actually mind blowing. So? There was a big bang? What was going on before that? (Science has *crickets*) There was nothing? And then..all the sudden...there was something? The Universe? How does that logically differ from.."HEY THERE WAS A FAIRY TALE MAN AND HE MADE THE UNIVERSE"?
So, you non God fearing heathens..you're telling me..that (best science you got, btw) there was nothing and BANG!!! THERE WAS SOMETHING!!
And you laugh at religious people?
Disclaimer: I subscribe to Steve Jobs's view that "all religions are windows to the same house".

I'm not sure I would have stepped in here and slapped you around for your lack of knowledge because I'm not
intimately familiar with quantum mechanics; luckily, my main man axvo has owned you sufficiently (and dispelled other stupidity that cropped up in this thread) such that it will be unnecessary.
I do know that some work from the more speculative wing of physics proffers provisional answers to the question of what shape existence took before our universe existed; you can read an accessible article titled "Parallel Universes" by Max Tegmark for such a view. Your characterization of scientists as arguing for a magical "nothing; bang; then something!" model is thus demonstrably false. Certainly, such provisional answers are more plausible than the "conclusion" you have reached (which explains precisely nothing).
Finally, it is interesting that you (eminent scientist that you are) come away from quantum mechanics with a religious (supernatural) view. This result is in fact very unusual: physicists -- people who make their living studying this stuff -- are the least religious (defined broadly as a belief in God) people in all of academia, which is already a rather irreligious place. Why do the people who understand the mechanisms of the universe most evince religiosity least? I think I know the best explanation.
P.S. This is almost certainly a troll thread because the topic is guaranteed to attract many and because you've done nothing but violently attack those who disagree, but in any case it's an interesting subject and maybe a good discussion can be had, independent of you.
