Yes I saw this. Actually it is not what I was referring to when I was talking about not knowing what nothing is. I was referring to the supposed nothing that existed prior to the big bang. Quantum fluctuations describes post big bang phenomenon.
Im curious if physics, in the way that we...
This brings us back to my original question Do we know what nothing is? You say that you probably would have difficulty conceptualizing it and I agree, but what is more important is how would you know if your conceptualization of nothing is accurate?
Actually, I was referring to a possible condition that existed prior to the beginning of the universe, if there is such a thing. I was referring to the concept of nothing and how it is often thought of as a reality the existed prior to the big bang. And I was considering our understanding of...
Our understanding of how the universe began is further complicated by the notion that it might have started from nothing, the problem is, we don’t know what nothing is.
Now wait a minute, we all know the real version went:
Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What ?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want...
I think you hit on a very important point, I believe you can construct the perfect argument, but at the end of the day, some people believe in such crazy ideas that there is just no way of reaching them. Lets face it, when you are dealing with people who believe that a supernatural entity is at...
So there is evidence he was straight and there was evidence he was gay so he was bisexual! That would make sense seeing that he wants everyone to love him.
It wouldnt have been important to me at all if I had never been introduced to religion so now I have to deal with the thought that so many people are mistaken J
I gave it a 4 because I do think about it from time to time and I do post comments on different sites using my atheist based beliefs...
I don’t think I would go as far as calling atheism a philosophy. Can requiring proof be called a philosophy? If someone tells me that the Earth has ice cream at its center and I choose not to believe him because he can’t prove it, would you now label me as an adairyist and consider...
I would be absolutely floored if there was no other life in the universe. I would be equally floored along with disappointed if mans religious based God existed.
There may not have been a cause, we know nothing about the conditions that existed before the Big Bang, but science does point us to the possibility of a singularity. Science does not point us to the possibility of a God; nothing points us to the possibility of a God.
To answer your question would take an understanding of the laws that existed prior to the big bang. Causality is a common law of our reality, so common that we assume it existed prior to the big bang. Fact is, we dont know anything about the reality that existed prior to the big bang, we dont...
