Answer, Do you believe in Zeus? No. Well, that.

Man has created thousands of gods in the past but it's THIS god that is REAL even though the foundation he was created on is the very same one as all the rest!

How many times were you molested at your church?

Or at lunchtime drag shows since that is your religion?

Actually is does, but since the big bang was an expansion OF space-time, rather than an expansion INTO space OVER time (ie. explosion), it is very easy to feel uncomfortable with the concept and thus dismiss it. Most people, including scientists, have similar problems with the time elasticity of relativity (ex. twin paradox), the particle/wave duality of light (ex. dual slit experiment), the infinite density of a black hole singularity, the indistinctness of a wave function (ex. Schrodinger's cat). quantum entanglement ("Spooky action at a distance" - A. Einstein) and other similar well documented phenomenon.

Hope for what? The conventional ideas about the afterlife? Hell hot and Heaven sunny and bright?
I suspect that death is a concept of the living. The dead have no concept of life, much like the time before one is born...nothing. The same set of circumstances will be upon death...nothing.
We live death as a part of life, but our hope is only a concept of the living.

Death doesn't exist. We just shed our mortal coil and return to the hall of souls until we are reborn to continue learning and correcting what we got wrong in the past. Our physical bodies die but we are much more then a meat puppet. Just as. Lilly grows blooms and dies. Then grows again next spring from the same bulb.

Before the Big Bang, neither time, space or matter existed.

Everything necessary for this universe to exist was created in that singular moment.

I just finished reading that book ,Blade. Also, even more in depth, I also just finished "Signature in the cell" by the same author. Both absolutely great.
Sounds like you would like the books by Rupert Sheldrake also. Although don't expect many here to even
consider these books as they are to mired in the atheistic view of the majority of materialistic scientists.

The preponderance of evidence on many levels supports the concept of an afterlife. Much more so than a brief, pointless existence.
