Big Bang, Deflated? Universe May Have Had No Beginning

Science is never meant to be considered "absolute truth." It's pliability is what makes it so much more reasonable than faith. It accepts that it doesn't know everything.

And, this would be evidence that would disprove a need for a "creator." Wouldn't you agree?
The physical sciences are only relevant to the physical universe, and not the spiritual...that fact the atheists think that science can disprove the Divine is just plain silly....

but some scientists such as Hawking use their scientific position to try and discredit the absolute...God...

No he doesn't.

There would have to be evidence some mythological concept existed, before one would even begin to try and discredit.

He is only stating the obvious at this point.

Most atheist do not think this.

No god exist scientifically for anyone to try and disprove.


History shows only men have created and defined deities, science is not even needed. Mythology is what it is. No need to prove mythology is mythology.

No god has validity.
This is not primarily a god v atheist thread....this is a meant to be a discussion about a scientific paper that suggests the universe may be infinite.

Besides which, your belief as an atheist has no more credibility than the belief of a theist....duality is simply the error of the mortal mind that keeps them ignorant.

Since you say there is no God, and that men created and defined deities, what is the definition of God that you say does not exist.?

I mean that you can't not have in your mind a concept of God that you believe does not exist, as it would be absurd and illogical to not believe in something of which there is no description.

So please provide the definition of this God that you believe does not exist?

It is right for me if I understand, I can't speak for you....
Yes its right for you and only you

Actually science doesn't try to disprove religion, religion does that itself with the advancement of science.

I can only speak for myself....understanding is right for me...you may feel your understanding, if any, is not right?

Science and religion do not cover the same area of knowledge...science deals with the physical universe, religion with the spiritual. Spirit by nature is not physical, so science can't say anything about it that has any validity as there is no existing human technology to detect it. Religion is about the transcending of the material universe....and that does not depend on beliefs, pro or anti...

Of course to believe in what transcends the material universe needs belief, it has never been proven, the same as big foot, there are many who believe in him, but there is no solid proof. Now with science there is much proof, there is no argument, unless you can come up with a theory that over rides that proof, and this is what science is.

As stated below is 100% faith.

There is no such thing as absolute god outside faith.

No god exist scientifically for anyone to try and disprove.

That Is the context, that seems to escape you.
As I feared....either your reading skills are poor, or you are not being honest...so I repeat....show me the post so we can see the context? A link would be fine...

But that is absurd to say that no God exists, and yet are not willing to show me the definition of it. Who knows, there are many definitions of God out there that are simply wrong.... This is a matter of logic my friend....I await your description...

You are out of your depth...there is plenty of proof of the spirit, but it is not objective scientific proof...and can never in all eternity be...science deals with the physical universe, not the spiritual...get it?

God is eternal, so it makes sense to me that He has always existed within our eternal universe. However, I believe that God expanded the space of our eternal universe so that life could evolve over billions of years; and He is now expanding the universe towards infinity so that trillions of humanoids with eternal souls can exist with Him.
