What I never understood was this conflict. On one hand Hubbard has the Factors - "Before the beginning there was a cause etc." which intimates that there was a theta body exterior to mest universe - Ie: didn't exist in time as we know it, and created the universe that we inhabit.
On the other hand, in the OT 3 materials - he claims that all thetans were implanted with incident one at the start of track. There were the cherubs etc. which would imply that they existed prior to the beginning of track. Kinda like getting your hand stamped at a Lady GaGa concert. It almost leads you to believe the universe is a vast amusement park in which you were implanted to participate in.
Moving on from that, assuming we are all immortal spiritual beings, from whence did we come? Oh - no, Mimsey not more crazy shit? But wait, the big bang is as yet an unproven theory. Though there are many sign posts that indicate it could be true, it's very genus - a singularity that came into existence from nothing, violates the basic laws on conversation of matter / energy.
So you see, if there was no such big bang - or even if there were, where did it all come from? And immortal beings suffer the same unanswered conundrum. Where did they / we come from?
None of it makes a lot of sense. Neither Hubbard's theory nor the Big Bang theory of the genus of our universe.

Maybe the bigger question is when? The universe is supposed to be about 14 billion years old but remember the star date Pat proudly showed us at LRH’s death briefing? From this and other LRH references we are talking about trillions of trillions. So as far as causality is concerned, we aren’t even in the same ball park in terms of universes. We are talking about going back many many times before, after and between universes came and went before the one we are in and we somehow want to make sense of that?
Goebbels is laughing in his grave!
