The resurrection is a historical fact. That should worry you.

Evidence?

Also, matter and energy are different forms of the same thing. So, you can't really divorce one from the other. And energy was certainly present at Planck time and was not created AFAIK. I'm not sure about time, but space expanded during the BB, but we don't know what form it may have existed in here prior to Planck time. There are many theories, but little to no empirical evidence, again AFIAIK.

Alex K could no doubt wax eloquent and in detail here. I'm an IT guy. What the hell do I know?

And this would put the events prior to the Planck time as "supernatural" (or outside natural law) since the laws of nature are broken down.

Or, simply subject to a different set of laws of nature. The cold, hard truth is, nobody knows.

Pretty simple stuff, we learnt it on day 1 of wearing-a-colander-on-your head school.

Of course he made your gods. Everything needs a creator. Except the FSM.

Besides, isn't it obvious that the universe is fine tuned to allow for Pasta?!? Angel

Honestly, I find it completely reprehensible that your stated mission is to spread your mind virus to people who (in your estimation) "desperately need it." You may want us to have it Randy, but we do not need your propaganda information.

Not to interrupt your prolific posting solo, but you're giving him way too much credit.

Christian preachers are presumably trying to help us avoid being endlessly tortured by their own source of morality.

I think your judgement is a little harsh.

Randy isn't an intellectual, he's a salesman, it's what he does.  When he's selling whatever he's selling, he doesn't need to understand what he's selling, he's just got to try to get his sales methodology right.

It's the same when he's selling Jesus - for heaven's sake he can't even see the curious contradiction that, while he's a Protestant who switched to Catholicism, all his sales materials and methodology are Protestant Evangelical.

So, Randy doesn't have discussions, he has sales methodologies.
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.

These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.

But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
