For those interested in reading further on these topics I can recommend the book; A Universe from Nothing - "why there is something rather than nothing" by Lawrence M Krauss.
Lawrence Krauss is a theoretical physicist, who has spoken on, and written a number of books bringing together the emerging scientific advances in cosmology, quantum mechanics, relativity, quantum gravity, dark matter, dark energy, time, the Big Bang and our existence.
His arguments are compelling and comprehensive and does not require high levels of prior knowledge of the topics to understand his explanations. It certainly helps to inform the issues raised in this thread.
If you get the chance to hear him speak, gab the opportunity. I have heard him present on this topic - he definitely bridges the gap between science and popular culture.
Cheers
Steve.
