I guess I use this question to support my theory that science can't solve everything which makes God and/or religion a possibility. I'm sure you guys who are smarter than me will punch a lot of wholes in my idea.

Meh, the problem with this argument is that you can ask the same question about God.

If there is a God, then I don't need to worry about logic.

Science can solve everything for which there is an answer. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Your question has no meaningful answer, hence our disregard for it. Take your philosophical premise that every event has a reason or cause sufficient to explain it, and give it a long, hard look.

My point is that if science can't answer this, then there are probably lots of other things it can't answer i.e. God and Religion.

This premise is not my belief. I'm playing devil's advocate.

Two Branes approached each other, readying for a collision. (Or so I saw on Nova.)

That's right, and it happens all the time. Universes popping into and out of existence like soap bubbles, it's no big deal. You could make your own in your office. They don't take up any space since they make their own space and time.

Once you believe that God exists, you don't have to worry about questions like this. It's beyond our capabilities as humans to answer questions like this.

Makes everything really simple if you can answer every question with this.

I'm not answering every question with this. I'm just saying if you admit that you can't answer the question of what happened the day before the universe was created, then you can't really say that there isn't a God, because science cannot handle either question.
