The above theory just never had much appeal to me. But I read a book, a few years ago, that put forth another theory. The author, an astrophysicist, stated that the universe always existed. Why not? For some reason I like it better.

They are all good as far as they go. There's no theory that I know of that can create something from nothing.

What do you think, from a scientific perspective?

Just that. You and me and Einstein agree on this one. The more complicated and scientific it is the more I am amazed by God's work.
