(October 7, 2013 at 1:49 pm)Sword of Christ Wrote: So you have no reason to believe that the universe just exploded out of nothing and arranged itself via precise natural laws into matter and conscious and stuff because it just did and there is no explanation for any of it? Or that we're here for no purpose and when we die we "become nothing"? How about if God created the universe, deliberately created sentient beings made in his image who he has a loving eternal relationship with? What do you do you have against that if it's not a scientific objection?
Even if it didn't does not mean god did it.
God is the least likely of the alternative suggestions not the only one.
Quote:Steinhardt and Turok—working closely with a few like-minded colleagues—have now developed these insights into a thorough alternative to the prevailing, Genesis-like view of cosmology. According to the Big Bang theory, the whole universe emerged during a single moment some 13.7 billion years ago. In the competing theory, our universe generates and regenerates itself in an endless cycle of creation. The latest version of the cyclic model even matches key pieces of observational evidence supporting the older view.
This is the most detailed challenge yet to the 40-year-old orthodoxy of the Big Bang. Some researchers go further and envision a type of infinite time that plays out not just in this universe but in a multiverse—a multitude of universes, each with its own laws of physics and its own life story. Still others seek to revise the very idea of time, rendering the concept of a “beginning” meaningless.
All of these cosmology heretics agree on one thing: The Big Bang no longer defines the limit of how far the human mind can explore.
