Something from Nothing

[Amarok]

String theory appealed to me when I first read it. I like aspects of all the main theories, and see plenty of overlapping.

Science wants to have a formula that accounts for matter which only considers what is observable or measureable, even if only in theory.
Which is somewhat consistent with the practice and application of scientific thinking.
While one theory will account for one phenomenon, it will fail where another doesn't. You would think that if we picked the best of each theory we'd have a better picture.

Good question, but we are discussing the treatment of the topic by the scientific and philosophical communities.

I know some people have fearfully belched out "sky god," so I'll wait until their fever dies down and they start communicating without being so immotive.

My response to your question belongs in the religious section, because I go by what the Bible contains.
But in this section, I am willing to explore the way people handle these topics, which they have pretty much covered.

So, let me make a prediction.  You’re going to attempt to poke holes in scientific explanations for the universe, so that you can turn around and say, “See?!  Science can’t explain it!” while at the same time refusing to provide your own explanation, or simply pointing to the Bible.  Am I far off here?

And even failing at that
