this universe and our universe well soon crash into an other universe that is very close by. when it happens all things in both universe well create a new one. but not our universe well still be there. the other one is bigger then ours. i know this because i heard it from tv. i also heard that all the universe's are moving apart. i think if there moving apart then something well move them back in the middle. which may cause anew big bang.
Then the nothing became aware that it existed. And the nothing was so joyful that it existed, and so wanted to share existing with someone else, that it exploded into creative energy.
your information is incorrect because of the fact of the word universe. the prefix uni means "one". you are thinking of the word Galaxy. we live in the Milky Way Galaxy. there is only one universe, or so it is believed.
in my opinion there are an infinte amount of Realms and Planes, but they all exist in the same universe.
as for the creation of the universe i believe that there was an infinitly small point of nothingness, called the singularity. at some point a long long long long long long long time ago, there was no matter in the universe only energy, which existed as light,(remember not all light is visible, i.e. infered, gamma, ect.) that consist of a single "packet" of energy called photons. When a photon gets enough energy it can spontaneously decay into a particle or anti-particle. when one particle comes into contact with an anti-particle, it releases a great amount of energy in the form of light, that can once again decay into anti-particles and particles. the reason that we have mostly only particles is that when the universe first started expanding the ratio of particles to anti-particles was not equal. on a large scale the ratio could have had a difference of just 1.1 to 1.0 (1.1:1).
as most of us know, everything is created by energy in some way....
but hey....that is just my belief of how the universe started...
i dont believe in creation from a higher power. i believe that "God/Goddesses" are just what we, as finite creatures, have decided to call the natural way that the universe balances its self out. if we were to change the meaning of the word "God" to the meaning of the word "Nature" and the meaning of the word "nature" to the meaning of the word "god." would we not still mean the same thing?
How it was explained to me was that the goddess, the creator of all life, was weaving the energy that she created into what we know as the universe. As she layed down to rest from her work she began to dream. Those that she dreamed of where thought forms and they did not have souls. These creatures came to be known as the different gods and goddesses through out man's history. However these beings where worshipped as "gods", they never considered themselves to be anything other than simple thought forms who liked to create. Many even hated being worshipped by man. Then when the goddess woke up from her rest she created the "old ones". These are first beings to have souls. They had magical powers but not the powers to create and were bound by the laws of their kind. After seeing the way that the old ones acted the goddess then created man, a being with a soul but the free will to choose between all aspects of creation.
