The Big Bang (Origins)

If intelligence was before the BB (as I believe there has always been, maybe not as we view intelligence, but intelligence nonetheless, of that which we are formed from, at least), possibly that intelligence was (and remains) something akin to the biblical word "spirit." This intelligence was without form or matter, similar to what you, dhw, would like to return to in your ultimate reality wish after death (I've thought a lot about this and now understand why). -"Spirit" intelligence could be what was before the BB. Then, after the BB, we have spirit then beginning to work with matter. Like a learning curve. Why create physical matter? Why not? Isn't matter just energy vibrating faster (showing my ignoranace here)? That wouldn't be creating something from nothing, it would be spirit (non-matter) inhabiting matter possibly in an evolutionary way..learning restraint or expanding abilities that couldn't be had any other way, who knows?-Spirit, before it enters matter, like in dhw's ultimate reality, would be unfettered and have complete free reign to be. But once spirit enters or inhabits matter, it would be a real challenge to a free spirit. Possibly, that's all we are...spirit intelligence having an experience chained within matter, expanding our abilities. Whether by choice or not would be the real question, but I would like to believe so. Or, if spirit reincarnates, maybe it moves up the ladder as it evolves. Some religions do believe this.-Just some thoughts,-bb
