It is not that i dislike learning, not at all. The way you post wiki links, especially in the past, has been as proof of some point. Like the wiki makes it true. That is the only thing I dislike about it. It was very rude of me to say that I didn't read your post (I lied, I did) (oh, and yes, for the record, I did lie I guess). I sincerely apologize for that.
Quote:Being open-minded is all about being skeptical, but it is also about looking at the evidence presented and the ideas presented, rather than just rejecting them outright.I agree, I feel that I am being open minded about the beginning of the universe, precisely because I am being skeptical. I know of the evidence, whether or not you believe me I have told you before that I am actually better read than you seem to assume. I am not furthering another theory, I feel I have nothing to prove. I am only saying that it makes me cringe when people talk about the beginning of the universe as if they are 100% sure. Same as the god thing...
My sole point is that we are not sure how the universe formed. I did learn that I seem to misunderstand the "scientific" definition of the word theory. I will try to figure it out.
Quote:The point remain s that you rely on the testimony of others and other indirect evidence that you were actually born.But I think that is fallacious. The evidence and testimony about the happening and details of my birth are much, much, much stronger than any evidence about the theoretical beginning of the universe. Especially the testimony part.
If I may repeat for clarity, I don't know how the universe was formed, and I kind of doubt you guys do either. I may be wrong though. Thank you.
