Prior to presenting my view of the origin of the universe, it is necessary to determine why there is something rather than nothing at all before introducing the first existent. Either something exists or nothing exists, but NOTHING DOES NOT EXIST; therefore, something must exist. That something is the first existent, immaterial space, in the pre-universe with a capacity for becoming actual space. We know that actual space is a requirement for mass and that it preceded mass, the existence of which is undisputed since idealism has been replaced by quantum mechanics. Immaterial space became actual space in accordance with Aristotle's view of potential and actual. Immaterial space in the pre-universe had a capacity for becoming actual space since immaterial space is now actual space in the current universe. Potential immaterial space became actual space (inflation) liberating the energy of the big bang and that is how the universe originated.

Perhaps, God is the first existent. I thought this natural view might be interesting to some enquirers.

Space met the Kantian transcendental requirements by being absolute, necessary and universal; therefore, space is not empirical.

This is not the right place to post such a thing. Perhaps metaphysics.
