Okay my lack of physics knowledge may be showing, but I thought the entire point of a particle accelerator was to eventually simulate a big bang by slamming particles together at ridiculous rates of speed.

Positing an intelligent actor to a phenomena without reason automatically makes it a more complicated solution. Even if the phenomena is microscopic gnomes carrying charges throughout wires in your computer.

The problem is evil is also an example where there's generally an unwillingness to continue and just give cop-out answers that fall within religious talking points.



It's all lines of evidence, in the end we can never recreate a universe, but if we extend our model of physics so it's applicable to within an arbitrary time lapse after the big bang we can have a better way to understand what was going on before that.

God may have done it, but the question is... did we deserve it?



Pretty sure the Bible said nothing whatever about politics. He also never said anything about small government and low taxation IIRC. Actually, he was fairly fond of tax collectors.😏

I'm a biologist Thor, you're giving me a headache

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would the current model of physics be to reaching the knowledge that could possibly satisfy the major questions that define existence? Follow up, do you think we could ever actually answer those questions?

The definition of charity has definitely changed. But I still say that the majority of Republican officials I see frequently act outside of a spirit of charity.

Gonna need the specific questions.

Would I be racist if I thought there were differences between races?

now I need to read up on it ... mainly to understand how close it is to understanding it. I think its an experiment to help show some evidence.




ive never quite worked out how saying "____ can just happen, and we know this because it happened" is less complicated than "______Made ______ happen". I suppose one needs one more step of explaining, I just find one more likely. Perhaps not more explainable but more likely to me.



depends are we talking like penis size?

Let me try the most common one that I hear. "Given that nothing existed to the big bang, HOW could the big bang have happened? We know that you cannot create something from nothing, therefore how did the big bang occur?"



No, you would be someone who knows a biological fact.

No, but to assume that creator is the god of the bible is pretty damn irrational, i mean go read the thing.
