Hmmm...not a bioscientist, but that's deductive reasoning to answer the question "How did life begin on Earth?" It's possible aliens from the dying inner core of our galaxy's stars once visited the sterile Earth 3.5B years ago, looked around a bit, dumped their bacteria-laden waste and left never to return.
Obviously that begs the question similar to atheists asking "who made God?" since the question of the origin of life in our galaxy still remains an unanswered question even if it was space alien shit that began life on Earth itself.

Please don't. I never heard of Popper until you mentioned him in this thread. INT is intelligent, but insane. Just because he latches onto something as mentally ill people often do, shouldn't cause intelligent and sane people from open discussion on anything that interests them.
If you'd never mentioned Popper, I might have never looked him up.

I wonder if asking what came before the big bang is even the right question to ask.
Time did not exist before the big bang. Time requires matter, motion, energy, entropy. None of which existed prior to the expansion of spacetime.
It is plausible there was no "before" time prior to the inflationary period, therefore it seems like it does not make sense to ask what came before.

I see time merely as a reference for what occurs before and after.
If there indeed was a big bang, there was a time before the big bang, even if it had no reference with anything we can imagine.
Was there a great void? Then what came before that?
These are things that we can't seem to mentally visualize.
