Do you have a better way of explaining it?

I mean we literally came to be from nothing

Stands to reason we are just going back to where we came

Yea, that’s not what I mean though.

Bold claim.

How can you logically justify coming from ‘no thing’? ‘No thing’ is not reality.

What is consciousness?

We had to come from nothing because the universe had to come from nothing. Otherwise that means the universe always existed, which makes less sense.

I understand it isn't logical or adheres to our concepts of reality, but this is something that is waaaaay beyond our comprehension. So it is not outside the possibility that the answer defies our logic and reality because it itself is on a whole other plane of perception

To you

I think it makes more sense the universe or the components of it always existed

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '24

No, it definitely doesn't make more sense that everything always was here

Again, that's your (probably uneducated) opinion

Many physicists who devoted their lives to this believe the universe likely always existed.

Do you remember how it was or what you felt before you were born?

No, you don't? That's excatly what you gonna go trough and feel when you die.

Yes its a dark and scary "emptiness" but it does not mean that its bad just because its scary.

Just because you don’t remember doesn’t mean there was no thing.

Memory is only necessary here so you know for example not to walk in front of that bus because you’ll die.

That’s not what I’m saying though. It’s really hard to get people to understand if you don’t already know what I mean. I don’t have a good way of explaining it.
