Well, it either CAME from something, some source, or it always existed - right? It could not create itself, because there would have been NOTHING to create it. It was either created/came from some other source that traces back to something eternal OR that dark matter itself was eternal. Can you tell me of any other possibility? Just ONE, Ken, that's all I'm asking. This is Logic 101. You suggest there might be some infinite number of possibilities for a thing's existence. But it's either THE first thing - meaning it is eternal, OR, it is a SUBSEQUENT thing that came from something else, which was either the first eternal thing or itself a subsequent thing that also came from something else. At the end of the day, there had to be a first thing that was eternal. Can't you see that?Ken: How do you know there are no other possibilities? Nobody knows enough about dark matter or dark energy to say what is possible.
Prior to the Big Bang, NOTHING physical in the universe existed. OK, singularity - is basically indescribable, except to say that no matter, time, space, or dimension existed prior to the Big Bang beginning. And yet the singularity itself either had a source or itself was eternal, unfathomably intelligent and powerful. Please, give me ANY other options that you can think of as for the source of Singularity. Science doesn't know because the eggheads have been arguing a century over what singularity actually was, of what possible source it might have. Science measures and analyzes THINGS. Talking about scientific theories is a scientific endeavor, but it's no more than wild speculation when it comes to singularity's source, it's power, its ability to produce unfathomable power, design and unbelievably fine-tuned functionality.
Just one other option, Ken.
