But that's fine.
That's why each of us believes what we do, and at the end of the day it is still something that science and our natural laws have not been able to explain or find proof of, so we are left to each respect the other's theories.
Except that this opinion of mine that your theory is weak is an informed opinion, based on the improbability of what you are proposing.
My theory? Oh boy, how fascinating. Please, tell me what my theory is. I'd love to know.
I don't have a theory, Cat Lady. I accept that I don't know. I don't hazard guesses on topics I can't grasp. Simple as that.
I don't have to respect your theory. I think it's garbage.
What information do you have that supports the notion that a. the first ever "thing" to ever have existed came from nothing, or b. the first ever "thing" to ever have existed has always existed.
That's fine. I never asked for respect. But I still respect yours.

The improbability of your theory is not an opinion. It is an estimation.
How do you estimate that?
Quote: I believe the opposite. Neither one of us has proof for either.
I agree. I have said this many times.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
