Charming. Simply charming.
*I* believe that there never was pure "nothing" at any point in the history of the universe and whatever may have preceded it. I believe that the subatomic building blocks of matter/energy have always existed in one form or another.
I also know enough about biology and chemistry to outright laugh at the idea of life being "accidental." Life is an aggregate of processes and structures based on very simple initial chemical compounds (e.g. water, ammonia, methane), which are based on very common elements (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) that behave in predictable manners due to such factors as atomic valence. It's the very antithesis of "accidental."
Seriously, Ahriman, why do you lie about people? You can't read my mind. You don't know what I know or what I believe. With the two sentences you've posted above you have amply demonstrated to my satisfaction that you don't give a flying fuck about the truth. Grow up.
