Scientists state that before the big bang that started the universe, time and space did not exist. Time and space only began with the big bang. But the only way they could know that time and space began with the big bang is by the use of their consciousnesses. This fact makes consciousness absolutely necessary for the establishment of reality.
Scientists also cannot say that before the big bang only nothing existed because the idea of nothing is necessary as an idea to consciousness so that consciousness can tell the difference between something and nothing. The opposites of something and nothing form the basis of all reality. Without the idea of nothing and the appearance of something, space and time cannot exist.
All this means that no difference between something and nothing could have existed before the big bang because the idea of nothing could not have existed.
But then what did exist before the big bang? The answer can only be absolute nothingness; that is, no difference whatsoever between something and nothing. Whatever existed both existed and nonexisted at the same time. Scientists have discovered a particle that both exists and nonexists at the same time called a virtual particle. All of this can only mean that the only entity that can separate the awareness of something from the useful idea of nothing is consciousness.
Experiments in quantum mechanics have demonstrated that at the edge of consciousness particles exist as a wave function; that is, they ride the line between existence and nonexistence. Such experiments have further shown that only consciousness can collapse the wave function to a particle that is real in time and space. Since there could have been no difference between existence and nonexistence before the big bang, then a Consciousness had to exist to collapse its wave function to matter and expand the universe into time and space.
Therefore, a Consciousness had to exist at the start of the big bang to establish reality and the existence of time and space. Such a Consciousness would have to possess infinite knowledge and power in order to be able to establish universal reality. That part of Isaiah 40:22 that states "...that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain...," can only refer to the expansion of the universe.
The Bible consistently refers to evil as being equal to vanity which means both emptiness and excessive pride. Excessive pride is the source of all sin. Therefore, evil had to have existed and nonexisted before the big bang and somehow gained entrance into God's good creations from the chaos called absolute nothingness. For this reason, reality contains elements of chaos and evil.
