Cosmic Inflation Week 2 Post 3

I was somewhat surprised when I found out that the “big bang theory” didn't actually explain what happened before or during the “bang”, and instead was just the after-effects.  This theory could mean that not only this universe was created by cosmic inflation, but that somewhere unfathomably far from where we are now, there could have been another big bang, or several, that were caused by this.  What I would like to know is what this could mean for the extra dimensions ideas that Lisa Randall was throwing around.

 

            It appears to me that two things happen the more science tries to explain how everything started and what meaning we have here.  1) As much as these theories might meet the agenda of those who try to prove that God doesn't exist, it doesn't really matter, because one could argue that God could make those things happen anyway, rendering all scientific explanations for cosmological events null and void, and 2) the more detailed the explanations for how everything works, the less mysterious God looks and the more people seem to appreciate Him.
