toldailytopic: How did the universe come into existence?

[pqmomba8]

Sorry but I'm not in the Squishes camp of: "we can't know anything but I'm just positive that you are wrong". If someone asks me how you make an omelet... I tell them.

If it turns out I was wrong... then it turns out I was wrong.... but in the meantime, (and until I am convinced otherwise) I have no problem stating my viewpoint on issues.

Knight (or the most interesting man in the world, as your avatar seem to suggest ), I have a question for you. Somewhat different from the OP, but related. How are you different from a Muslim who is just as convinced as you are that s/he is right and knows where s/he is going? How about a Jew or a Hindu or....or.....or.....well you get my point, right?

Typical agnostic tripe. They won't state what they believe but they pick on everyone else.

...related....

Your question isn't related to the OP. :nono:

It's retarded to the ..

:think: No. Wait.

It's just retarded. lain:

Try again with some effort into thought this time. :thumb:

 

[fool]

If it's impossible (based on scientific fact), yet it happened then...

...it's possible and your "scientific facts" just changed or more accuratly your understanding of them did.

something outside of natural must be the explanation.

Non sequiter

Now... are you going to take a whack at providing your own belief on this topic or did I miss it?

Oh, sorry

Well that was rude and uncalled for..............

Speaking of "retarded" - I'm not the one who believes in invisible men in the sky, magical trees, talking snakes / donkeys, living in a whale's belly. Not that I'm saying that people who believe that are retarded.....ummmm..... well, may be I am.

...it's possible ...

Evidence, please. :up:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy, way, way, way...... off topic. Sorry.

It's called science, fool. We make observations and do experiments and call things laws based on the fact that they have never been shown false.

One of those laws is that you can't create something out of nothing.

In our universe that is impossible, thus we must postulate something unconstrained by our universe as the source of everything.

Which makes no sense.

Then that was rude and uncalled for and you're a hypocrite on top of being wrong about the origin of being.

Really? What doesn't make sense about it? :idunno:

It makes perfect sense.

Oye givolt, Oye vey iz mir - this is (almost) fun!!!!:up:

Why not?

If it is impossible for us to do, yet it has been done why is it unreasonable to presume that Someone other than us did it?

 

[fool]

Sheesh. Thank you. :juggle:

And;
I got that number from Wikipedia, I'm not dogmatic about it.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

It happened.

But maybe it didn't happen the way you think it did. After all... you have science to contend with.

Why do you put your faith in something that flies against the known laws of science?

 

[Stripe]

It happened.

How?

 

[fool]

Really? What doesn't make sense about it? :idunno:

It makes perfect sense.

If something is "impossible" but it happened?

 

[fool]

Why not?

That would different than "impossible"

I'm not contending with science.

I don't.
