so, even the god you put your faith in have more than one name.
Just like Aphrodite has the same function as Freia(frey)
Mainstream science commonly. Omega has suggested that there were quantum waves, but I'm not sure whether that has any evidence.
I'd say Freia has a touch of Ares in her. Maybe Hera too. Norse legends generally have violent people, and Freia is supposed to be the God of war; not Athena's strategic war though, as Nordic tales rarely include tactical manoeuvres. She is also a wife sort of person (God of fertility, and wealth). Aphrodite is the God of sex, sexiness, and beauty.

Heres the way I see things:
1. God was there to create things, so there was a creator who could therefore create matter, being all powerful, etc, etc2. There was nothing before the big bang, so how could there possibly be a bang? what could cause a bang if there wasnt even air present? The only way to make sense of a big bang is if someone was there to cause it, leading me to think that God existed before the Big Bang and hence God caused the Big Bang
u get my logic?
But then what was there before God.. something had to create God. Sure he may have created matter but how did time and space come to be? Was there time before God? Did he exist with nothing else and then create the universe? There's always going to be unanswered questions and the Big Bang theory will most likely never be proven true, but it makes a lot more sense scientifically than a supernatural creator that made everything in seven days. How exactly did he make the universe in 7 days when before the universe existed, there was no time, no way to measure days?
I've asked that question many times before. Don't bother waiting for the person you're quoting to come back... The answer will always be "if we could understand that, we would be god."
I could say that God is a force greater than time; He transcends our limited interaction with the fourth dimension. But I suppose that you will not be sated by this answer.
I don't know how to answer that in a way that is "good enough" for you. The universe was "wild and waste", according to the Bible. From what little knowledge I have and what I have inferred, I would guess that God and chaos existed, and God brought order out of the chaos.
But that's kind of confusing.
Do I believe in God? No. I'm a straight-out atheist, plain and simple. I don't think there's any sort of higher being out there. Scientific theories as to how we got here (Big Bang, evolution) make way more sense to me than some higher being sitting around and then randomly deciding one day to create life. Yeah, that makes sense...

you dont know too much about the Norse mythology huh?
Not much. I just get the impression from it that instead of any sort of military prowess is shown not by actual victories, but by how many enemies you can kill with your bare hands, or something like that. Plus how they all turn into animals (a boar in her case?) because they can't kill things fast enough.
