You're thinking in human terms about inhuman topics cthulu2016 Mar 2014 #62
isnt that what religion is, believing in something higher than humans and human topics politicman Mar 2014 #63

In my mind the more we learn nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #99
please keep in mind that religion is in essence a belief in a originator. politicman Mar 2014 #101

do you have a better way politicman Mar 2014 #129
It is called the Russian Doll paradox nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #134

Then who created the originator? NuclearDem Mar 2014 #113
exactly, bot ideas require faith, so why is anyone calling out the other for being wrong. politicman Mar 2014 #122
The "creator" or "originator" is not a theory. NuclearDem Mar 2014 #128
to each their won I say politicman Mar 2014 #132
When it comes to matters of science, there is no "to each their own." NuclearDem Mar 2014 #136
so the big bang didnt need any materials to occur. politicman Mar 2014 #145
Not in the conventional sense you are thinking off nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #241
An "ultimate creator" origin seems unlikely -- Arugula Latte Mar 2014 #116
.... politicman Mar 2014 #125
Adding a creator into the mix just moves it all back a place. Arugula Latte Mar 2014 #130
I can say the same about matter just coming into existence from nothing politicman Mar 2014 #140
"unless you argue that something just always existed with no beginning what so ever." NuclearDem Mar 2014 #131

theories can apparently explain alot if they never are able to be tested, dont you think politicman Mar 2014 #217
Jesus age we create water, and break it apart all the fucking time nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #220
