get over yourself, enough of the arrogant gestapo tactics. I don't like what Whetstone does (mostly because it's so full of holes) but the moment you ban him then you better start banning everybody who tries to voice their opinion like yourself EvaXephon.
it isn't very logical to assume that there was nothing prior to the big bang, because the observeable universe to you starts at a single point does not mean that there was something before it, you are basing your "logic" as to the nature of the universe from a point within and completely missing what is outside our 4th dimensional world (time+3 spatial dimensions)
the growing acceptance of the birth of the universe being caused by the collision of 5th dimensional membranes or branes for short shows that there was no single point and that time existed prior to the big bang. your first cause wasn't god but a cosmic fender bender
