There is speculation about what caused the bang however.

M Theory addresses what caused the Big Bang. It describes membranes, shortened to branes, upon which universes exist. These branes undulate. When two branes bumped together, the energy released caused the Big Bang, forming our Universe.

At least that's how a few theorists see it and they have the math to back them up. Math by itself, however, counts only as a proof of concept. Observation, whether direct or indirect is the only acceptable proof of existence.

I have been doing some reading on intelligent design and it raises some interesting ideas at least.

---

Intelligent Design can be summarized as follows, "Existence is so complex as to be impossible by random occurrences. Therefore, an intelligence must be guiding creation."

There are two major fallacies that negate any credibility for Intelligent Design as a scientific discipline. First, complexity is a natural result of chemical chain reactions. Life is the most complex product of these reactions that we currently are aware of.

Second, what created the intelligence that creates complexity? Intelligent Design, like religion, attempts to mark a beginning point for all existence via an illogical creator.
