Where does the world come from?

This was one of the questions that the philosopher asked Sophie in the beginning of Sophie's World. I had a lot of the same thoughts Sophie did when I read it but I thought I would share some..
First of all, I like and understand the idea that something can not come from nothing. So I would have to assume that there was something eternal. But that idea is really hard for me to grasp. Endlessness just seems so.. well long and not normal because I don't think about it on an everyday basis. On the other hand, no one can know for sure where the world came from. Sure, scientists have theories about a 'Big Bang' and such but there still had to be something to go 'bang'. :p Most religions give a belief of where the world came from. Like: God created the Earth and God is eternal so everything works out but again the whole eternal thing just blows my mind. To me, this is still the most logical and easiest to understand because nothing else explains the whole 'something can not come from nothing'. Anyhoodles... I have no idea if that makes sense or not but that's what I think. :) See y'all tomorrow. Bright and early! :p

"Thought is not merely expressed in words; it comes into existence through them."

I think I somewhat disagree with this quote because although we think in a certain language, we can still have thoughts without words. When we picture a memory or when we imagine something. So thought is expressed in words but thought can also be expressed through gestures so I think it's wrong to say that thought comes into existence through words. I think that language has a big part to play in how we express thought. The quote touches on that when it says words, but language is more than words. It is also gestures and all body language.

On the other hand, saying that thought comes into existence through words in literature may be more valid because it's poetic. I think that only simple thoughts like: food, shelter etc. can come without language so to use imagery and compare things using similes and metaphors and such would be very difficult without words.
