:For Buddhism, the reality of our universe is seen from a quite a
different perspective. [different from the BigBang] Buddhism considers that
phenomena aren't really "born" in the sense that they pass from nonexistence
into existence. They exist only in terms of what we call "relative truth," and
have no actual reality. Relative, or conventional , truth comes from our
experience of the world, from the usual way in which we perceive it---that is,
by supposing that things exist objectively. Buddhism ways that such
perceptions are deceptive. Ultimately, phenomena have no intrinsic existence.
This is the "absolute truth." In these terms, the question of creation becomes
a false problem. The idea of creation becomes necessary only if we believe in
an objective world."
'Mathieu Ricard & Trinh Xuan Thuan, 'The Quantum and the Lotus: A Journey to
the Frontiers Where Science and Buddhism Meet',p.29)
