The age of the Universe, 13,700,000,000 years, is a timespan that simply cannot be comprehended by the human brain as it is totally and completely outside of our realm of experience.
As for the size of the Universe. No-one knows that, not even you. All we know is how large the observable Universe is because the speed of light cacoons us in an visual bubble. How do you know that a being on the edge of what we can see can't point her telescope away from us and see yet another 13.7 billion light years of Universe, and a being 13.7 billion years on the edge of her observable Universe do the same?
Therefore, unless you personally have some unique insight and intuitive understanding for what 13,700,000,000 years actually means and, unlike anyone else who lives or has ever lived on the face of this planet actually know how large this Universe is and have also successfully dismissed the multiple Universes predicted by inflation, your statement above is simply meaningless.
Quote:The very age of the universe requires that an outside force must have at least initiated the process of life in the universe, and the law of cause and effect dictates that the everything that exists within the universe must have come into being as the result of something outside of the universe.
This is fantastic, I must contact Brian Greene and Edward Witten at once as you obviously have conclusive proof that string/membrane theory is correct. As much as I'd love this to be true and sincerely hope that more evidence can be found for one of my favourite theories at the moment we have no observable proof, not only for string theory but also for your proposition that there even is an outside to the Universe.
Quote:Whether or not this outside force is intelligent or conscious, only one's personal experience can prove or disprove.
This makes no sense.
