The Problem with Christians

[Rhondazvous]

Fair enough, although it is popular with some physicists to theorize that our universe didn't exist at some point, and was created from a parallel universe or some other dimension.

"some".... yes.... it is also true that some physicists are christian.... and some are muslim.... and some are hindi...
Many theories exist as to the nature of pre-big-bang conditions... but none has been confirmed, for that information is impossible to come by, due to the nature of the big-bang.
From quantum fluctuations, to multiple universes, to higher dimensional universes, to.... whatever man can dream of... one super-powerful being that created this universe, to a college student being that created this universe as a low grade science project, to a multitude of such beings in a lab.
Many hypotheses exist, none is confirmed. Should we pretend that one of them is correct and all others wrong? Is that the most intellectually honest approach?

This idea that god created the universe is very recent. Neither Allah, Yahweh or Elohim are given credit in their respective holy books for creating the universe. The writers of these books describe the earth and sky as it appears to the naked eye. They did not even know there was such a thing as a universe.
I'd like to study the etymology of the word "universe" and see when humans first started referring to the cosmos as such. My guess is it's only been less than 1000 years.
