What I’m going to say next may be an odd way of putting it, but it gets right to the point: A big bang needs a big banger. To most people that seems correct the moment they let it sink in. Once you realize how amazingly obvious that statement is, the idea that the some thing that caused the universe was actually some One becomes much more plausible. And it is a short logical step from there to the conclusion that this One, who would have existed before the time-space-physical world he created, is not bound up inside it or subject to it.
