I was again reading a topic on 'Creationism Vs. Evolution'
The main theory of creationism is that 'an all powerful creator' created the universe and every creature in it
the main theory of evolution is that a big bang happened and everything was created from that.
I'm confused...what does evolution have to do with the Big Bang theory? Last I checked, evolution didn't attempt to explain anything outside of biology...

As for a general theory of everything, I bet that either it doesn't exist or it's impossbile to know. Maybe the human mind can't conceive of the answer because we're too myopic or too biased towards certain concepts like "you can't create something out of nothing." Or maybe the existence of such a theory is logically impossible. Kurt Godel proved that it's impossible for any system complex enough (like mathematics) to be proven internally consistent (that is, free of contradiction). Physics is defintely complex enough, so there's no way of knowing if it's free of contradictions or not! So even though the universe acts differently on the small scale than the large scale, this might just be how the universe acts and there's nothing you can do about it!
