(November 8, 2013 at 2:34 am)Jesus is Lord Wrote: Anthropocentrism is not escapable. Athiests and theists alike view the world through filters. The criticism of anthropocentrism is like one fish calling another fish wet. The question is - how does a universe which all physicists would agree is deeply ordered, begin from nothing? If it did not begin from nothing, explain what preceeded it without invoking anything supernatural.

No, it's escapable so long as you realize that when physicists talk of 'laws', they don't mean prescriptive dictates, rather than just descriptions of how things behave under certain conditions.

And of course, you "conveniently" ignored my explicitly non-supernatural account of the origin of the universe. Dishonest much?
