nor do I know everything, but how do you know there was nothing before the big bang? I don't think anyone really knows this. And when we are talking about causes, maybe the beginning of the entire universe is a special case - after all, you are referring to things occurring within the already-existing universe. And maybe there is a good reason for the universe spontaneously appearing, I just don't know what it is. As I have already said, God doesn't solve this conundrum, all it does is create a new mystery when "solving" the old mystery. Having said this, I'm not going to try to argue you into submission. Each of us is entitled to believe what we believe and I think we are going around in circles now. Have a good day.
