CRAZY QUESTIONS PERSIST - NOW WHY ?

"I think we are all robotic creations created by forms of consciousness that evolved from simple to complex. In essence our creators have always been simpler than us.Also the robots we create shall be more complex than us. We shall off course continue to live in their memes. That is how our creators also became immortal ( our creators that began with the single gene that wanted to collaborate to create a bigger and more complex consciousness)."

So my learned friend observed after reading the previous blog,"CRAZY QUESTIONS – WHY NOT"

I fully agree with him as to HOW we ended up to be the conscious entities we all are today.That primordial,functionally self-sufficient bio-organic structure with a specific orientation of organic molecules is The Ancestor and its meme still exists within us which we have carried forward with evolution getting structurally and consciously complex with each major step of evolution.
However my query still remains unanswered.And it is about the Intention behind the scheme of things.


Functioning of Science is restricted by an absolute precondition-that of Conservation of Matter and Energy.And if one looks upon how science has unravelled the story that started from the Big Bang,one cannot miss a prominent 'Matter Before Mind' hypothetical undertone.Since all the cosmological interactions and reactions started at random from the point of the singularity at Time-0,there were practically a near-infinite possibilities(theoretically infinite)for those primeival molecules of the cosmic soup to explore and interact.(From here I am intentionally taking a geocentric,biocentric and then specifically anthropocentric for simplicity's sake,which my points of query and discussion necessitates).
Through thermonuclear fissions and fusions of these molecules under the influence of the Strong and Weak Forces,stars and gallaxies of varying densities-the entire universe was 'born' expanding temporo-spatially.
Somewhere in time,specific configurations of molecules came into existence(at this stage,I dare to introduce the word 'organic' which had certain potentials which would be followed later to begin the history of cosmos,and somewhere down the line,of us.The potential I am talking about is of repetitive specificity,in a chaotic surrounding with the randomness of molecular interactions being at its peak.'Consciousness' still hadn't arrived yet.
At one stage,something which I like to personally perceive as 'The First Crossover',a singularity consisting of a specifically unique configuration came into existence,the unique property being to Survive for an arbitrary quantum of time,in the surrounding of random creation and destruction of molecules.It could survive to sustain and retain its structural specificity which now added the element of specific functions,one of them being to form a second generation of similar structures with the same molecular structure and function.It survived,sustained and reproduced.Can I dare to push in the term 'bio-organic' here,if I am free to hypothetize for the sake of this discussion here?


Concised,the line of events(not necessarily linear),the primordial molecules interacting at random starting from the Big Bang singularity --> A new singularity of Organic molecular configurations,still interacting randomly --> yet another singularity of Bio-organic structures with specific intra-corporeal interactions(the randommess omitted) and resultant ability of specific functioning to survive,sustain,and multiply retaining all their specificities. What happened after is well elaborated by evolutionary theories,and we all stand Here and Now.


A link is missing however.Though our science is not at all related to pre-Big Bang singularities,it has comfortably accommodated something in the very beginning to rationalise everything,which it doesn't agree in principle and which would nullify all scientific pursuits and results in an instant.It weirdly seems to accept-SOMETHING GOT CREATED OUT OF NOTHING.Here the rational theoretical physicist shall attach a fanatic ontological hypothesis to the First Singularity around the Big Bang.Or somebody might plainly hypothetize to necessitate the absolute pre-existence of energy Before or At the moment of the Big Bang.But should science ethically start with a hypothesis to proceed and develop through strict rationale of theories to reach its present stage?This seems like an effort to justify the means in the very beginning to rationalise everything that happened afterwards.

I am asking the question WHY?Even if one blindly accepts the Matter Before Mind concept (once again I am intentionally anthropomorphic)and doesn't dare Science to explore the absolute pre-existence of primordial energy at Time-zero with rationale,there lies a ontologically significant space to drop questions.Was this the only way the universe could have began from the Big Bang?And it took a path in course of which organic molecular configurations emerged the interactions of which were permuted and recombine to produce bio-organic singularities which survived against intrinsic entropy,our actual ancestor from which evolution took place both in the organic  and the conscious domain of things.And here we are,the personified memes of the primordial times,more complex in form,evolutionally conscious enough to ask about the very events,trying to understand the initial macrocosmic and microcosmic singularities from which scheme of things evolved with time,trying to theorise possible transient events of harmony in the midst of entropy,from which time-space jumped from one stage to another.


Did the Creator/Supreme Consciousness/the First Singularity with a timeless past have other choices through which the interactions of energy-matter would have proceeded with different subatomic and cosmological constants?Or did the initial singularity have a singularity of choice,and perhaps with a singularity of intention?Theoretical Physics and Religion share one common platform(pardon me for this audacious contemplation)to declare that at Time-Zero(or In The Beginning),cosmos moved from a state of nothingness to the existence of matter.WHAT created matter out of nothingness?Science has nothing but hypothetical speculations to comment on this.Scientists seem to be divided on whether all the matter in the universe was created at once or whether it continues to be created. 
"Unless you have chaos inside you,you cannot give birth to a dancing star.Man would never have been able to make mistakes,and to see things as other than they are and to believe things to be other than they are."Frank Nietzsche.


Was there any Intention behind the Choice of Creation?

My question is perhaps a mistake.But it still remains.

  1. Yes it is difficult to fit all this into the standard teleologic
    argument that believe's in the concept of a purpose behind all
    creation.

    However even if we ignore a teleologic model it is still very
    difficult to conceive of what may have happened before the big bang.
