"Today almost everyone believes that the universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the big bang."{15}

What caused the big bang? . . . One might consider some supernatural
force . . . or one might prefer to regard the big bang as an event with

. . something outside of the physical world. . . or an event without a
cause.{17}
