After reading some words of Stephen Hawking I attemped to repeat back to myelf his inferences in addition to asking a few of my own questions.
The universe is either unchanging or eternally expanding. If the universe is unchanging then it doesn't necessarily need a beginning. It very well could have always been or have been created. If the universe is eternal there are physical reasons where there has to be a beginning. This is largely where our existence branches into creation or the big bang. If there is no beginning then there would be an infinite amount of time before any event. On the other hand if the universe has a beginning then before that there is an infinite amount of time. Would there even be time at all? Is time only a property of this universe we live and not God's realm?
Answers to these questions are based on theory and mostly partial theories. We live in the information age. This is an epoch where we have created the internet and cracked the human genome. Our greatest search is for the unified theory. A theory that will describe everything in the universe. It's prudent to note that God could have created an arbitrary universe not subject to any laws. It's obvious that we live in a very calculated and unaccidental world in which that unified theory could very well exist.
Natural selection and survival of the fittest theory would suggest that as us humans progress we would become increasingly intelligent and have access to much more information we would come closer and closer to this theory. There is also the idea that we are actually working counterproductive to natural selection through antibiotics, well fare, and many other forms of coddling. If there is in fact a complete unified theory there would be an calculated determination of our search for such a theory. In this instance this calculation could lead us to the wrong answer or even never reaching the theory in the first place?
