I’ve been busy saving the world from unnecessary apostrophe’s.
If God doesn’t exist, and the world just happened as an accident, or always was an accident, why does anyone care about what I say. You all dismiss it as nonsense.
But to say the burden of proof is on me is cowardly.
You all admit you don’t know or it’s not true. Or are you keeping it a secret. OK, tell me I’m wrong. But to deny the existence of God and have no answer yourself is not a convincing position.
I’m not sure why this forum exists. I can’t see any evidence of contributors trying to work out how the universe began. That would seem worthwhile. If you are not sure, why be on the forum at all, unless to find out. Abusing me for my modest comments does not seem very constructive.
But ignore me and prove to each other how the universe began, whether it was made by God or it’s just and amazing random occurrence.

Are you always this ignorant and childish ?
The state of science is where it is. Get over it, L'il Barry.
Obviously you think if you don't have the answer you want, you get to make one up.
Would you rather have quack scientists lying about where science is ?
Grow up.
There are no gods.
They don't love (a human emotion) us.
Stop lying to yourself.
Exactly how many "Loaves and Fishes" meals have YOU served to the homeless this past week ?
Burden of Proof :
"When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim, especially when it challenges a perceived status quo.[1] This is also stated in Hitchens's razor, which declares that "what may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence." Carl Sagan proposed a related criterion – "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" – which is known as the Sagan standard."
BTW, something you were totally wrong about.
After the second temple was destroyed by the Romans around 70 AD, the Jewish Rabbis were talking and writing about how to remake Judaism during the diaspora, in a way that would
make it consistent with no temple. THEY, (not Jesus) came up with "Love God and love your neighbor". It was the concern of the rabbis AT THE END of the First Century.
That fact is one of the reasons why scholars wonder if Jesus existed at all. The preaching of Jesus reflected the concerns of the rabbis at the END of the First Century, not the early 1st Century.
We get you are an amateur, and scholar of nothing, but you have no answer to this. At the end of the 1st Century, the Jewish High Priest required the Expulsion Curses be read at the end of EVERY synagogue service, as recorded in John's Gospel, saying the Way sect of JEWS, (as reported in Acts), were no longer welcome. In the year 400 CE, the Archbishop of Constantinople, St. John Chrysostom, (Istanbul today), told HIS congregation in his Christmas sermon, (which they still have) .. to STOP going to the synagogue. THEY were still Jews. The history of Christian orthodoxy is almost all lies.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
