The debates with ecolox aren't exactly going anywhere anymore. It's a shame.

Well, it wasn't exactly the most productive but it was something to begin with... Smile

God is NOT a simple theory. It doesn't explain anything, and it only poses further questions, not forgetting the fact that such beings are unexplainable and full of contradictions.

Simple has never been so complex.

Aren't all simple explanations like that though, Adrian? Smile

You know I don't even ask Christians those questions because I really don't care why they believe what they believe. To even ask starts a debate with no answer and no end. Maybe it's because I've been an Atheist since I was a child. I was an Atheist before I even knew what one really was! After so long I've noticed most of my Atheist friends have also tired of trying to pick the brains of Christians.

M-theory, Multiverse, Big Bang, etc... all of these must be cyclic if we are the original universe... and at the least: all of the energy of this universe is cyclic... if not the entire thing. This is evidenced by the stability of identity within this universe.

I find the multiverse idea to be fascinating. Did you read the article in Discover about Multiverses? It talks about universe bubbles possibly leaving their marks in ours.

I used to think its pointless too, and most times it actually is, but sometimes certain debates can be informative. Smile
