What the hell are you talking about? The Big Bang happened for a reason OR the Big Bang happened for no reason.
What the hell are you talking about? Only 2 things can happen to a chain of "what is the reason for this?" questions, the chain comes to a end OR the chain does not come to a end. If it doesn't come to a end then everything in the chain happened for a reason, if it does come to a end then something happened for no reason. Come on now this isn't rocket science.
Maybe, maybe not. Most think the Big Bang existed but there is debate if there was anything before that; that controversy is at the very frontiers of science thus although many may be certain about the answer nobody knows; at least not yet.

" This would contradict with your previous statement: "but we also know that everything, absolutely positively everything, happens for a reason OR it does not happen for a reason."" Yes, but there is nothing illogical about infinite progressions; or maybe the Big Bang happened for no reason, nothing illogical about that either."

" A chain of "why" or "how" questions eventually comes to a end or they do not, and there is nothing illogical about either possibility."
" Well, it would be good if you explain how such a statement agrees with your previous statement, quoted above. In my view, they contradict with each other.
