Thoughts on origins
#11
RE: Thoughts on origins
One more I don't know here.  Best guess is that the universe began about 13.8 billion years ago plus or minus about 52 million years.  That's one hell of a long time ago.  Homo Sapiens have only been around less than two million years.  Add to that, that the creation of the universe is a singularity and my brain scrambles.  We don't know.  We just have more and less probable theories.

I do know, however that it did not happen in the manner described in Genesis, the Metamorphoses, or the Pueblo Indian creation myths.  All of those contradict what we do know.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
