What happened before we were born?
955621
Others and parents were there before we born. God created each one in a special way (unique) not identical with high value in the womb and brought out depends upon His will and upon the generation gene.  After death, there is a life and it is not earthly, but heavenly, but this will occur on the God's day, until then all souls will be in a place particular for their action on earth.  Souls will join with its destination depending upon the actions.  This was told in Bible .  If you believe it will happen to you and you have to follow the rules of life in the Bible.  No rebirth according to bible.  If a person dies and rebirth again, population  will not increase.

As humans evolved, many phenomenon on earth could not be explained, e.g. volcanoes, planets, etc., so we created gods. We still cannot explain what happened before the big bang, so it is possible that god created this space and time (and therefore,ultimately, us).

The reason that I don't remember anything before I was born,\n\nIs because I didn't Exist!\n\nI will be aware of and remember things after I die because I Exist now and into forever!

Plants which reproduce without seeds appeared first in the history of the Earth.  Plants with seeds appeared much later.

you are wherever you exist at this precise moment in time and how you got here is an age long system of genetic makeup which combined with your certain life perspectives have brought you here into this momentary existence and as for me i am a completely seperate individual who shares certain genetic markers with you who i believe to be of the same species as myself, and i am who i am as of this particualr moment due to my own genetics and life experiences. Does that answer your question?

"Where?" requires the existance of space. There was no space before the Big Bang. We cannot even talk about "before", since there was no time, either. It's counterintuitive and cannot be assessed in a normal state of mind - logic won't help here, even a twisted one. Science struggles to answer the questions regarding the very beginning. What is known, however, is that right after the Big Bang there was no hydrogen - it was too hot for it to form. First quark-gluon plasma, then protons and neutrons, then hydrogen atoms. So it took some time, though, given the age of the Universe, it occurred almost instantaneously.

Free will begins only when you start  making decisions for your self. I don't know why you would associate free will or the absence thereof to being born.

Nope! We were created in the image of God.\n\nYou evolved from Neanderthals, probably from the retarded offspring of retarded fishmonkey beaver-things.

Neither, because who or what created God? Find a logical way of explaining what came before God, and you will move away from logic and into faith, right?\n\nWhat came before God?

Several of the previous answers have some really good points.  The truth is we don't have the mental capabilities yet to understand the size and extent of the universe, or even the amount of time it's been here.  So it's at best a weak guess as to what was here before, if there was a before, but there has to be a before, at least in our own ways of thinking.  It would probably take a few Einstien's to figure these things out. What I mean by that is someone who could think as far ahead in our time as he did in his time.\n\nThen, unfortunately, as has happened in every culture since they started looking at the moon, we come up with a God to explain what we can't explain and then we have wars and fights and judgement on others who don't accept this God.  I guess we should go back to beheading people who try to figure things out instead of closing their mind and blaming it on God.

Mathematetically, philosophically, nothing. That has been the big question since Einstein theorized that the universe had a beginning. The question moves from the realm of science, a process of theory and discovery, to revelation, a process of information delivery. In short because nothing (not mathematic formulas, time, energy, literally anything) existed the only way for us to know what happened prior to the Big Bang is by devine revelation. Science has struggled with this idea for a long time and many theories have been proposed but all theories proposed require a moment when nothing existed and then suddenly there is existence. This is the principle behind the Cosmological Argument. Briefly since everything that exists has a cause, the universe exists, it must logically have a cause. I would encourage you to read, 'When Skeptics Ask', by Norman Geisler or 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist', by Geisler and Turk. Good luck on your search.

Try reading John Milton's book, Paradise Lost...it will clear up all of your "first people on earth" questions.

I think we are reborn into a new body but with small fractions of memory of the life we led before.\nI think these bits of memory are there to help us in our new lives.
