I am so sick of asking simple questions on ATS and getting a half page post full of useless words that circle around "I dunno" but never land there. Do you know or not? Either explain it or get over it.

You want to know who we think made the rules.

I want to kow why you think anyone or anything made things that way.

Is there a reason you deserve an answer to your question any more than I do?


We were Invited But how do we deal with Ignorance ???

I offered the Answers but I get abuse instead...

I guess you will just have to be patient and wait won't you????

No sense in talking on this thread only Ignorance here I guess ????

Good luck all in your Theories......

Peace....

well that all depends...

If you are speaking of the Universe... the universe IS finite...

However if you are speaking of the Cosmos... which is everything... (including things beyond our universe) I will agree.

Cosmos is the universe - all matter, energy, and space. The two are synonyms.

Yes, and No... not so much anymore...

Since the theories on the existence of other universes has came along... the Term Cosmos has been more or less used to describe everything... where the term Universe has been more or less adapted to mean our universe...

First you have to create something before it evolves.
You can't create something without intelligent design.

The argument is pointless when both are pieces of the same puzzle. You cant have one without the other.

who says? You? Is it just possible that the human brain cannot fully understand the concept of infinite?

But if everything must have been created, you are entering into a infinite regression argument... Meaning, if the universe HAD to have been created... who created the creator?

You can't create something without intelligent design.


who said anything was created?

Your argument is pointless... if you are going to decree that the creator didn't have a need to be created... then why argue that the cosmos needed a creator?

I'm trying to decide if you're taking a stab at cosmology, abiogenesis, or evolution here...

To noobfun,
"but the fact you think there is no ende does not mean there is no end "
If there is and end, tell me what is on the other side of it.
who says there has to be anything?

If the universe is expaning then there must be no end to space or it could not keep expanding now, could it?
space is whats expanding space is our universe so yes it theoiretically could continue to expand until it runs out of energy then just sits there

If space is not endless, then there must be something on the other side of it.
why must there?

Tell me what you think is there. Guess, speculate, theorize.
no ill wait until we have a means to find out before i jus start making things up

You only think that there has to be a beginning because that is the way your finite mind works.
but your mind isnt finite then as you can see beyond that .... which it isnt is it?

so your drawing a false analogy based purley on the fact you want somthing to be there so there fore you attack my refusal to just invent somthing like you have

the universe is of a finite age and is expanding meaning in the past it was much smaller

There is no evidence for the no beginning & no end, that you are capable of understanding. Humans just are not built that way.
im sure Steven hawkins and all other theoretical physacists who deal with this would disagree

if the universe is expanding and we could rewind time then everything would get closer and compact

now we have to think of an explanation what could have caused the universe to still be expanding after 14 billion years and the answer is the big bang, way back when before it started expanding everything was compacted into a singularity, we dont know what formed it yet but ALL the evidence points that way

I didn't say I understood it all. No one does. They cannot.
i agree

but you say you dont understand it but then ignore the reasonable testable logical explanations and go with something thats unsupported and all the evidence points away from

OK nj2, If you want to get down to definitions, I agree with you. I think of "universe" as the all.
which is wrong

and that isnt what NJ said, NJ agree's with me on the universe expanding and bieng finite, what you should have said there was cosmos

Sorry this was not directed at you, but it is difficult to listen to the arrogance of the ignorant, I think it is better to leave those who can't accept themselves or are able to advance themselves to anything worthwhile...

But these sort of people are just a complete waist of time and never come to anything worth while.

I can understand why other intelligent people, don't wish to join there misguided sect....

They are really, only trying to justify their own ignorance....

They have don this superbly, so there is no point in tolerating Ignorance...

In fact I feel ashamed that I have tolerated such Ignorance in these Stereotypes for as Long as I have.

It is better that I remain with those more educated and are years beyond the arrogant Ignorance here....

When they become Educated that is if they can, then just perhaps they may find a way to find knowledge....

I just see them going round and round, resolving nothing at all, making bold speeches in arrogant ignorance, blinded by their own self importance....

This only displays Ignorance and frankly I have do desire at all to fall to their Level.

So I will leave this thread leaving them to their Emptiness....

I don't remember if this was the thread I posted this in before... but here... this will help:

www.hawking.org.uk...

This is a lecture by Steven Hawking on the origin of life, and how intelligent life evolved...

Its a VERY good lecture... for those who chose to read.

Well obviously anything that 'created' us would have to be more complex than us, therefor creating a bigger problem than any "God" (however you choose to define that) would solve.

You seem to think you have a check mate as no one knows where the laws that govern things came from, but what about the laws that govern your god? They would have to be infinitely more complex. How would you answer that?
"god's always existed" won't cut it...

I would like to add a quick point to your argument TP:

The absence of universal constants or "rules" as you put it, would create a new Rule: Entropy/Chaos...

This means that even if there was no "god" to write the rules as you suggest... there would still be rules!

If rules can exist without this god... then why must we say he assigned them to begin with!
