RE: Ask a atheist.

I want to know how big the entire universe is, not just the observable part. (You don't want easy questions, do you?) Also, the sources I have looked at say the observable universe is about 92-93 billion light years across. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe
http://www.space.com/24073-how-big-is-the-universe.html
http://www.universetoday.com/113786/how-...niverse-2/
And the sources I have looked at say that they think the universe will expand forever, though they are far from definite on that matter:
http://www.spacetelescope.org/science/age_size/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fa...e_universe
If my views of what I am are right, then I will never be conscious again after I die, no matter what goes on in the universe. Certainly, I hope that that will be the case.
(A copy of what I am could conceivably occur, but a copy isn't me. But I hope no copies will ever occur either. Not that it will matter to me after I am dead.)
If there is good luck, and the universe behaves as you have said, after the collapse, there will never be life again.

I said only the observable part because i couldn't remember the exact number off the top of my head.

So you literally believe nothing was just inside nothing and then the nothing did nothing and made something out of all that nothing, which is impossible, and now we have oranges? U mad bro?

Quantum physics prove something can come from nothing.
The one thing theists should be shitting themselves over because nature it can handle itself no one or being(s) need be in control.

Why do you say that Jesus never existed when noted scholars such as Bart Ehrman and historian Tim O'Neill, who are also atheists, have explained how we can know that he did exist?

Is it possible for you to formulate a coherent sentence? 
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Conflating historical and magical Jesus again I see. No one would say there wasn't some guy around at the time that you could say it was based on. Any one of the madcap preachers would do. Even the HJ cases are weak as shit and cover barely anything. Ehrman had to practically debate his former self to make the case. We certainly can't "know" he exists, you play fast and loose with epistemology.
If I know a guy called Harry who goes to school and likes to think he is a wizard, does that mean Harry Potter is real if he was the inspiration? You'll dismiss this analogy as stupid but to a sceptic there is very little difference.
