So you believe that everything existed, and the big bang was more or less something that happened within that existence ?.
Spot on.

yea, right on, that is how I feel also.Spot on.
That's a lot of 'non' there! LOL . . . how about explaining what this personal god 'is' instead of what it is not?A deity that is not simply a non-personified part of nature.
My understanding is thus and therefore I have difficulty replying to your challengeThe universe.
Universe: all existing energy and space considered as a whole; the cosmos.

2. Subjective Universe (SU): Our unique personal perspective and experience of the OU. What we interpret and perceive it as.
Are you able to define this without using a negative?Anything that is not a part of nature.
In the 'exclusive' objective universe, a house is simply a geometrically‑coordinated, gravitationally‑braced and weatherproof arrangement of certain kinds of molecules. As various individuals design, decorate, occupy, or view the house, however, it is imbued with characteristics assigned to it by them. It now exists in their several subjective universes, and it may continue to exist there even after the 'objective' house has been demolished.I have seen no such universe as all of these occur in our brains in the true universe.
no material substance?.....no matter?I do not believe there is evidence for a personal god.
I do not believe that faith is a reliable means of gaining information or insight.
I believe the universe is made solely of energy.
I believe the universe is eternal.
I believe that human morality is innate in most human beings.
Is that a good starting point?
cause and effectI see no evidence that the universe had to be created.
I suggest watching Brian Greene's Ted Talk on string theory.This fabric constitutes the universe. You called it energy. Yes, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Could you tell me more about these 'strings'?
That's not agreeable even to the Vedas, as consciousness and matter are both eternal.What do you think of the concept of consciousness creating matter, instead of the other way round?

The hell are you talking about Chak? How is matter eternal?That's not agreeable even to the Vedas, as consciousness and matter are both eternal.
There are three things that are eternal: God, the Jiva, and matter (Chit, Achit, Ishvara). God did not create the Jivas, and he also did not "create matter" (like how the Christian God created everything using clay or dust or whatever). The universe is eternal, since this is where the Jivas were residing. Of course, creating and designing the universe are two different things, in my opinion.The hell are you talking about Chak?

Thanks for vid
:L How can the universe be eternal? Did i dun goofed?There are three things that are eternal: God, the Jiva, and matter (Chit, Achit, Ishvara).

What makes you think it was created a couple of billion years ago? The Hindu religion believes in cyclical time...rebirth and death of the universe and so on.:L How can the universe be eternal? Did i dun goofed?
I mean our Day of Brahma was 14.3 billion years ago. So your saying our universe and others were always there like jivas?What makes you think it was created a couple of billion years ago? The Hindu religion believes in cyclical time...rebirth and death of the universe and so on.
Yes. That's not to say that it will always be there.I mean our Day of Brahma was 14.3 billion years ago. So your saying our universe and others were always there like jivas?
How come it won't always be there?Yes. That's not to say that it will always be there.
