Three scientists, Papaia, Banani, Ravioli, and their assistant Igor, are heading to the famous dark matter conference. During the flight, Banani finds a very interesting book.
We’re on the plane, where Ravioli and Banani are discussing the book.
Ravioli: And how does the author prove it?
Banani: First, we need to say that everything that begins to exist has a cause.
Ravioli: That seems obvious. It’s the principle of cause and effect.
Banani: But we know that the universe also has a beginning.
Ravioli: Yes, that’s what we work on every day at the observatory.
Banani: So then, the universe must also have a cause.
Ravioli: Yes, isn’t the cause the singularity?
Banani: If you think about it, according to the model, the singularity is still the universe, but in a different state.
Ravioli: Yes, and so?
Banani: Saying “singularity,” or saying “universe,” is the same thing.
Ravioli: Actually, yes!
Banani: So then even the singularity, if it ever existed, would need a cause to begin to exist.
Ravioli: Obviously. So what’s the cause of the singularity? A quantum fluctuation?
Banani: What I’m trying to explain to you is that even if it were, the quantum fluctuation would, at some point, begin to exist, and therefore would need an explanation.
Ravioli: But then we go on infinitely, without ever finding one!
Banani: Exactly! And that’s why we need an initial cause that doesn’t begin to exist.
Ravioli: How can something not begin to exist?
Banani: It must be something that has always existed and always will exist, and from which everything begins.
Ravioli: God?
Banani: Exactly!
Igor: Something that has no beginning? I don’t know any answer other than our Creator. But now, I do know one thing that has no end… Ravioli’s questions!
