What Big Bang cosmology reveals is, a mere moment before the Big Bang began, there was NOTHING physical in existence! And in under 3 minutes, extraordinary things of stunning designs immediately appeared, including elementary particles, anti-matter, matter, neutrinos, protons, neutrons, and electrons, and the nucleosynthesis process began.
I have never heard of anything scientific that supports this claim. From what I've heard as far back as science can go is to the singularity that expanded to become what is known as the big bang. Do you have anything other than your word to back any of this up?
Kenny,
In the Big Bang Theory, all matter was formed as a result of the Big Bang itself. This isn't even controversial.
No; The Big Bang theory starts with the singularity (all matter in existence) already existing. When that singularity/matter expanded to become what we now know as the Universe, this is known as the Big Bang theory. What happened prior to this event is completely unknown and a matter of pure speculation. https://www.space.com/25126-big-bang-theory.html https://www.quora.com/What-was-before-t ... simple-way
I stand corrected. Apparently there is quite a bit of disagreement on the issue of whether there was a singularity that contained matter. From my understanding, the singularity was strictly energy, not matter. And matter didn't form until after the universe began to form. How can matter exist with no time-space? Two properties of matter are mass, and volume. Matter cannot exist without somewhere for it to exist.
I'm starting to wonder if some people are trying to explain something scientifically, that cannot be explained scientifically.

Sounds like a miracle to me.
At the very least, supernatural.

While no one truly knows what Singularity was or what it might have contained, it could not have created itself. Even if some elemental form of matter existed within it, without some source and Super Intelligence guiding it, that matter and its resulting crucial elements could not have instantly assembled itself into such immensely complex and interactive components of breathtaking designs of such precise functionalities - all working together in stupendous harmony and on an unimaginable scale! What harnessed any existing energy with such power and precise applications / made things made move in astoundingly precise synchronizations? The Big Bang produced, not random things in some chaotic mass explosion, but a controlled expansion of EXACTLY the necessary things to produce a universe that could support complex and intelligent life forms.
So, even IF singularity contained matter, it required a great Intelligence to assemble and harness just the right things needed to produce the building blocks and guidance necessary to build the universe. And this Intelligence created and designed these many incredible things, which did not previously exist, and set their functions into the complex motions and interactions necessary for the universe to continuously run, and these unbelievable things were created in mere minutes.

I noticed the video describes the Big Bang as a violent explosion. The big bang theory describes the singularity as expanding; not exploding. Probably just an oversight.

If matter always existed, it wouldn't need to create itself.

A) Cosmologists and physicists do not believe matter always has existed, and even if it did, B) Only a Super Intelligence of great power could have so brilliantly organized and designed its amazing components so spectacularly and so quickly, and to function with such incredible precision, on such a vast scale.
AND a thing either has intelligent capability or it was created with such capability by another intelligent source. Matter alone has no intelligent capability to do things only an intelligent entity can. And non-intelligent things have no capability of developing or obtaining intelligence - they cannot LEARN - not by themselves!

This is now metaphysical , not science.

Cosmologists and Physicists don’t believe in a Super Intelligence of great power that could have so brilliantly organized everything either!
If you’re going to be skeptical their expertise when they dismiss your super intelligence, why can’t you apply that same skepticism when they dismiss the claim that matter has always existed? Sounds like you’re kinda picking and choosing when you wanna believe them.

It's beyond the scope of science. No way to prove scientifically, if matter has always existed.

Yeah it is beyond the scope of science. But IF (and that's a big if) matter has always existed, I wouldn't need to create itself. Agree?

I wouldn't say that it doesn't need to create itself. I'd say that if something always exists, it cannot create itself. If something exists eternally(always existed) then it wasn't created.
