Well of course I do not know if the universe was created from nothing, I believe the universe (energy) has always existed, hence it was never created. Like Allah has always existed, I think the universe has always existed.
I think the universe follows the cyclic theory where the universe, which is just energy, expands and then collapses and expands and then collapses and each expansion is the big bang. This goes on forever. Of course this sounds ridiculous to you, but for me I believe this quite strongly, not as strongly as you believe in Allah of course.
I will read some Quran tonight before bed.
Well that sounds contradictory to me, something that is an incident can not be eternal.
I rather believe in Allah SWT. Cause anything created can never be eternal. The big bang had a beginning, thus it was created. Energy is created too.
You can not call something that has an incident uncreated. Sounds like you are trying to clash 2 contradicting terms...... One has to do some brain gymnastics to believe thus, cuz it honestly makes no sense.
Allah is above time and space, so just like you see ecosystems, they go in repeated cycles, this Universe was created like it was.
You are essentially calling this universe, the creator, audhu billah.
I believe there is a concsious being outside time and space who initiated this whole universe. To say otherwise is like saying "the universe started itself" nothing can begin or start by itself, cause anything with a start must have a cause. t

I rather not confuse myself with such theories lol.
Why don't you accept Allah / God as the Creator of the universe? Who has no beginning or end? Why do you insist on denying Allah?
As for me I believe Allah SWT created everything, and everything that has come to existence and everything that exists, must have a creator, a Creator whom has no creator. Who is Eternal.
Don't you think/see that this universe had to have come from somewhere, that someone made it? To say otherwise, and with this cyclical theory, it is as if you've taken this universe as God, audhu billah. Don't you see the delusion in that?
