Not infallible, simply guided by God to make the correct teachings for the church. but once again, we're delving far too deep into Christianity and not religion in general.

Once again, may i ask what rhyme or reason supports the idea of nothingnesss exploding?

Might I refer you to, well, this same thread you've been supposedly reading?

That would be the Creationist view. The Big Bang appears to have resulted from a singularity. Admittedly, there is still much, much to be discovered about singularities in general and the Big Bang singularity in specific, but no one truly contends that everything came from nothing.

It's even hard to think about what might have caused the singularity, seeing as time and causality, by definition, couldn't have existed pre-Big Bang, at least as it relates to our universe. I have a sneaking suspicion that we're the result of another universe switching on their own Large Hadron Collider. The quantum foam idea is elegant, but still hard to grasp conceptually, much less actually test for it at this point.
