When faith tries to answer a simple question.

We don't know that that is the case, so the conclusion is premature.

Quote:Scientific laws are inadequate to explain how something could have always just been there.

Yet.

Quote:If the universe is constantly expanding, what space is it expanding into?

That shows a misunderstanding of the theory. Why does it have to be expanding into anything?

Quote:Do you just come to a wall that is the edge of the universe?

The universe may well be finite but without bounds. Think of the surface of a sphere: it has a finite area, but no edge. The universe may me a 4-dimensional hypersphere.

Quote:If so, what is beyond that wall?

See above.

Quote:It seems quite logical to assume that there forces that exist which are not part of our natural world.

Why? It seems quite illogical to me.

Quote:Science and math are not capable of answering these questions.

Yet.

You keep going all "god of the gaps" on us. Please stop as it just makes you look dim.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
