When I take into consideration that he has had to provide answers such as those to a population of people who not only continue to think the answer is "magic", they can't even comprehend why his answers make sense as an alternative. Hell, there's probably few of us on this forum who could. Its amazing to me that people like Krauss, Degrasse Tyson, Dawkins, and other professionals are able to refrain from using pejoratives and continue calling them "religious people". I think it's arrogant to presume that a really old text written by primitive men have all the answers, and I think it's foolish not to acknowledge the wisdom being offered by modern day Physicists, Astronomers, and Biological Scientists. The religious have a sense of arrogance that these well-learned people couldn't dream of achieving, because scientist are always searching for knowldege and the search presupposes the existence of that which is unknown. The religious people think they have all the answers and call it arrogance when those bad answers have to be continuously pointed out by those who take the time to learn.To try and explain what was here before the universe is the epitome of arrogance, why would the laws of physics apply outside the known universe? The proper and honest answer to what existed before the universe is "I don't know".
I as a Christian don't claim I know everything, I just believe what the Bible says about it, there's a difference.
Also, those "primitive" people were a lot smarter than you think if the ancient Mayan and Egyptian cultures are any indication, we still to this day cannot figure out how the pyramids were built.

Quote:The Great Pyramid is aligned with Machu Picchu, the Nazca lines and Easter Island along a straight line around the center of the Earth, within a margin of error of less than one tenth of one degree of latitude.You think This is just coincidence? or did the ancients know something we've now become ignorant of?
Other sites of ancient construction that are also within one tenth of one degree of this line include:
Perseopolis, the capital city of ancient Persia
Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of the Indus Valley
the lost city of Petra.
The Ancient Sumerian city of Ur and the temples at Angkor Wat are within one degree of latitude of this line.
Sounds more like ancient alien conspiracy nonsense, to me.
