I have to keep my brain exercised or else it goes into meltdown. I could fall in love and let my heart take over and take me into silly town ... Anyway, to keep my brain ticking over, I am currently reading 'A Brief History Of The Last 13.8 Billion Years' by David Baker. Of course we start with The Big Bang. Although we have to get this into perspective and realise that it was the size of a dot. Though knowing that within that dot, then The Big Bang was mighty. All that exists is within the dot, which has been expanding for the past 13.8 Billion years. The point of a drawing pin would be massive compared to how The Universe began.
There was a kind of Valentine's Day when all particles of matter met particles of anti-matter. Mutual destruction. That would have been the end of the story, if not for the fact that particles of matter outnumbered anti-matter cohorts. Hence matter went on to form all that is. Now there may be a number of these gigs where you live another life that turns out differently. Professor Stephen Hawking alluded to this in his theory of 'Bubbles', that is, that multi-universes exist. So there are potentially many of a specific person that exist. Or maybe not at all within a given multi-verse.
In all of this theory, there is no meaning. It's just random chance that anything exists. Of course, to suggest a Creator begs the question 'Well where did that come from?' It seems that whichever way the question emerges, then it is of the same form. Perhaps only in Love, meaning and existentialist questions that spring from this, can we find an answer. Certainly, science, within itself, does not contain the answers to this fundamental question.
And so we go on wondering about where life came from.
