I guess I should have been more clear and said that I don't believe in the traditional sense of a creator. I just believe there is something much deeper about our universe. I don't believe that it all sprang up from nothing.

You don't believe in ex nihilo? Even Christians believe there was nothing before the beginning.

Surely you believe in the big bang?If not, then why are galaxies moving away from each other? They must have been propelled away somehow.

I don't think the big bang should be considered as a fact. Scientists have found rings of radiation in the cosmos that may be older than the Big Bang, suggesting that event was just the latest in a series of rebirths. I think scientists will and should continue to challenge each other and continue to progress our knowledge about the world rather than concluding and halting our progression of knowledge. Unless something is absolutely undeniable.

But surely you don't believe in the fixed state theory? Even Fred Hoyle admitted he was wrong about that.

I suppose I do unless there is a good, sensible argument against it.

Well, surely if galaxies are moving away from each other rapidly, then they must have been propelled away from each other somehow. And this propulsion must mean some kind of collision or explosion must have occurred. Hence the big bang.

I understand that. But I don't doubt that there is more about the big bang than what we currently understand.

God is in my mirror... but that might just be in my mind.

If you don't believe in a traditional creator, and you don't believe it all sprang up from nothing, I'm curious as what your beliefs exactly are. Mind elaborating?

It's not considered a fact. No (credible) scientist considers The Big Bang Theory a fact, and that's because it's a theory. The Big Bang theory is currently the most reliable theory of creation that is most fully supported by observation and mathematics.
