honestly i think god created the universe then evolution took place and the rest is history

I watched a video on this in my physics class last year.
Imo its pointless to support theories of how the universe came about and what not because nobody has any idea.
No one knows what actually happened, and there is no good evidence supporting any theory so it basically comes down to faith (be it in 'science', religion etc).

This video tho said that there are 4-D 'branes'. Our univserse exists as one of these branes iirc (or inside the brane).
This theory stated that our brane collided with another brane giving the 'friction' or startup energy for the big bang.

Does this sound plausible? Sure.
Is there any evidence for or against it? Nope.

So you can believe this or anything else you want, because the origin of the universe will not be known in our lifetime.

Yes these are limits atm, but imo will not last forever.
How much generally accepted 'science' has been disproven as we become more advanced?
The world was flat, the sun revolved around the Earth, rotting food caused spontaneous generation of maggots..etc.

Yes right now we can not fathom a way to overcome the uncertainty principle, but (hopefully humanity can exist) in hundreds or thousands of years from now they could have technology and insight to overcome such obstacles.

No one ever thought we'd leave this planet and go to the moon but it happened. If you told a philosopher from Ancient Greece/Rome that we'd travel to the moon they'd have called you ridiculous. Just as you would call me ridiculous if I claimed the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was not infact true.

Thats just my take on things. Science evolves and at some point all of these laws we have now could be disproven, tweaked or more fully understood.

I'm pretty sure all we need to do is achieve absolute zero to nullify the uncertainty principle.

if you see with your eyes your easily fooled even perception is blinded an truly ignorant towards the nature of the universe being "human" we think we are top guns
but in truth out of the billions of Galaxies and even other universes that exist in the Cosmic "Physical" Existence that we all experience as reality
its on terms of the more spiritual science ,quantum mechanics and other sciences seem to look down on.

we could of been born anywhere in this universal existence not just this single place we call earth
for all we haver ever known and love and destroyed is all on 1 rock in space we are a young society we still have limit our selfs by fighting another over land and resources, Color and Creed
truly a society that
is limited by such factors do not really deserve to know the true nature of the universe.
but
Purpose it played out and its all how we see it as the Glass Half full or Half Empty or Wtf is a Glass and Water

in simple terms we are a Class 0 Civilizational so our science and other ways of thinking are comparable to that of a new born.

keep in mind that time is a definition, a construct that we (as humans) created in an attempt to understand and to name the things we see happening around us. the concepts "beginning" and "end", and even "never" and "forever" are entirely man-made. our sense of time is wholly man-made, and merely a reflection of how we perceive the world(s) around us.

so try as we may to describe what happened to the universe in the past, present, or future... we are still limited by our mental capacity to perceive and to describe these things. religion is just one language that's used to talk about this; and science a different language. but regardless of what language we use to try to make sense of our existence and the existence of the universe around us, our understanding is still ultimately curtailed by the limitations of the languages themselves.

I think existence is transcendent to reason and purpose. The whole of everything needs not to be created and may work in ways beyond our plane of understanding.

Humanity isn't close to answering this question. There is still a lot more exploring, theorizing and testing that needs to be done before we approach even understanding what our universe IS, let alone understanding what made it be this way.

Yeah considering our planet is 4 billion years old.

Makes sense.

I realize you're probably trolling,

But I wanted to point out that the bible doesn't say that anywhere.

There is nothing in the scriptures that gives a specific age to the Earth, or the Universe.
