Cosmic riddles

one of the existential questions that’s always intrigued me is, if ‘God’ created the universe, where’d he come from?

in many religions the faithful simply reject the question: ‘God just is’, they say, and if you haven’t found him yet you just need to find ‘the Word

I’ve never understood how this differs from the pagan concept that Square One is The Mystery; as long as we are here, in this space and time, on a physical plane of human existence, we simply do not know

but we are starting to realize the beginning of the universe may not have been the beginning of everything

my Nov 7/09 posting looked at the evidence there might be something ‘beyond this universe’; now there’s a question about whether the Cosmos existed before the Big Bang or whether this universe might be a perennial, self-recycling entity ~ like a peony in a bigger Cosmic garden
