Professor Sean Carroll -- Episode 9: Solo — Why Is There Something Rather than Nothing?
It's a good podcast, although, Dr. Carroll asks for money up front; kind of tacky in my opinion, but after that, very informative. He considers "God" as a cause of the Universe to be "reasonable"; but, I suppose that some God perhaps, but not necessarily the Judaeo-Christian one.
The universe is clearly dissipating itself into the infinite void via the relentless conversion of matter into Hawking radiation which is then 'erased' via redshifting.
Averaged over a lengthy interval, on average then, our universe doesn't 'exist' . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
