It happens only once, in it's entirety, but in that entirety(not neccessarily a word, or a properly spelled one anyway) it happens an infinite amount of times.

Default Nothing

Nothing. Don't impose your everyday notion of cause and effect on cosmology.

You only think you are asking a question in the same way as if you had asked "How much does red weigh?"

A whole lot of nothing.

Or.

God was carbing up for the big week ahead of him.

What a lot of the posters are saying is that science has already answered the question and the answer is that the question is meaningless. 'Time' only came into existence at the singularity point of the big bang - or in layman's terms when the Universe came into existence. There is no such thing as 'before' this.

As to the question of 'God', you'll find that science's official answer to that is it is an imaginary creation of the human mind.

I don't think this is true. There are many scientists who believe in God. In fact, it is more likely that for the day to arrive which proves God does exist, than for the day to come which proves God cannot exist.
