So what you're saying is, as long as we're inventing irrational explanations, you might as well adhere to something that benefits you personally according to how you would like to be benefitted by such a system. Or in other words, if you're going to have an imaginary friend, it might as well be a genie who lives only to make you the happiest person on Earth.
Why am I not surprised?
No, I did not invent an "imaginary friend". It is what it is. Nothing comes nothing not "out of nothing, comes something".
Any rational mind can understand and see the logic in that! I don't know why you can't.
In fact it's an "imaginary" concept that "out of nothing, comes something".
Of course if you can prove that "out of nothing, comes something", then I'm with you.
In Our finite universe it is without doubt irrational to to think that nothingness could ever create anything. It dosent make sense. But you can not rantionaly compare Our finite universe With nothingness. You cant compare the two. They are two very different Dimensions.
If you support the idea that there is a inifnite. Than you have to Accept that there is only room for one such Dimension. Where there is only room for one infinite Dimension: You can ask Your self, where did all the other finites come from. All other Dimensions do exist within the infinite Space/Dimension. Again, where did they come from?
There is only one Clue.
Than you have to face what you deny. And start to solve the real issue.

It depends on how you look at it. It doesn't matter to the universe how many times a wheel spins. Not all infinities are arrows. Infinities do not necessitate expansion.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say Blue Shift. It depends on how look at it?
But there's NO other way of looking at it. Infinity is infinity. Like space time is infinite and it's beyond the borders of the finite universe. Hence "The infinite can't be contained by the finite - it breaks down".
And since INFINITE can't be created thus it's eternal.

" I am happy thinking of The Mother of the Universe or just Mummy for short. "
So , where did your " Mummy " come from ? Hmm...

Please don't take these as personal attacks I'm simply trying t point out how complex the subject matter is and the best scientists in the world only focus on one avenue of it and even then state 'they don't know' instead of 'god did it'

Nope If I add up all the even numbers, the answer tends to infinite
If I add up all the odd numbers, the answer tends to infinite
Two seperate paradoxical infinite series have been created from finite sets.
Also the Universe is at least 12 dimensions, not two.
The mistakes made are because of translating scientific/mathematical terms into everyday words. If you want to get true answers than you need to use maths. Otherwise it's just the theological debate that became useless 300 years ago.
Or to put it succinctly there's as much evidence my cat created the universe than there is god (well more really as I know Bob exists)edit on 18-11-2013 by bastion because: (no reason given)

So what's your solution, then?
Thus "Out of Something (or to me - Someone), comes something".

Where did your "Someone" come from?
"Something" or "Someone" eternal, always existed, was already there before the "big-bang".
INFINITY = ETERNAL = UNCREATED, Always Existing.
So what you're saying is, as long as we're inventing irrational explanations, you might as well adhere to something that benefits you personally according to how you would like to be benefitted by such a system.

Hmm. So, as I said before:

Which one is irrational an imaginary "friend"?
"Out of nothing, comes something"?
Or
"Out of something, comes something"?

No, you got it wrong.
"Out of nothing, comes something"
or
"Out of nothing, comes something, out of which comes something else"
Essentially the same thing. But ours is more scientifically compatible. That is to say, ours is based on facts that render yours invalid. Simply put, if the theories were brains, yours would be that of a dead monkey and ours would be that of Albert Einstein. Not flawless, but enough to be moving on with.
Are we done here, or did you wanna demonstrate some more of your pseudo-logic?
Then I thank you for proving my point - an irrational mind will believe and accept that:
"Out of nothing, comes something, out of which comes something else".
With nothing to back it up but blind faith one has to accept the impossible.
That "Out of nothing, comes something, out of which comes something else"
Case close.

My apologies if you thought I was twisting your post but I'm not for the simple fact that there not much you can do to define "nothing". Try if you may, it had no real meaning scientific or otherwise.

Sort of apology accepted. But even if you think it cannot be defined you could have given an honest answer. Like you did later.
So, you say that you can not define the word "nothing"? But you have repeatedly asked the question, "how can something create nothing?". Have you not? How can you ask the question if you do not define the very word "nothing"? This is like a color blind person asking, what is red? How can he or she know what red is?
I do not deny the existence of something. Nor do I deny the existence of someone. Of course something and someone exist. But how does this affect our discussion?
Once more: If you want to define nothing, then say what it is! As you have said there may not be much I can do to define nothing. But I hope you can? Please, do it.

Hold on a minute there Charlie. You just told me that's exactly what YOU believe. Or are you retracting that statement? Because if you are, now is a great time to explain to me where your god comes from.
Less hypocrisy and more intelligent discource, please.
