stu, Q. What happened before the big bang? A. You don't fucking know. Q. What caused the big bang? A. You don't fucking know. Q. Did the laws of physics exist before the big bang? A. You don't fucking know. Q. If the laws of physics did not exist before big bang, how did they come into being? A. You don't fucking know. Q. How many universes are there? A. You don't fucking know. Q. If there are other universes, how many are there? A. You don't fucking know. Q. If there are other universes, is there a race a intelligent beings that have lived in another universe for millions of years through cybernetic immortality? A. You don't fucking know. Q. If there are other universes, what is the relative size of our universe? A. You don't fucking know. Q. Is there an end or edge to our universe? A. You don't fucking know. Q. Are there other forms of intelligent life in the universe? A. You don't fucking know. Q. Simple statistics show that there is a high probability that other forms of intelligent life most likely exist somewhere in the universe. If there is intelligent life, how intelligent are they? A. You don't fucking know. Q. What is the cause of fine tuning if it exist? A. You don't fucking know. Q. Did some sort of entity cause the great bang? A. You don't fucking know.
If you don't know the cause you don't know the cause. It doesn't make something else a possibility. Not in science anyway. In your makebelive fantasies, it may well allow for a Unicorn or a Pixie or Shrek or God to be a possible Creator. But not in science.
god, logic and science are product of man mind. science and logic start with little assumption and build from there. science/logic look for reliability/repeatability. more faith in the repeatable, more repeatable more faith in conclusion. evidence finally reach fact. faith diminish. when start with faith, end with faith leads no where. when believe despite lack evidence, back to faith.
I am just making the point you don't fucking know. I call bullshit on the mumbo-jumbo. Did you read Hawking's recent work? It has tons of conjecture without any scientific proof. He is simply pulling shit out of his ass. Similar to the holographic universe bullshit. The SCIENTIST that developed the theory of the holographic bullshit came up with theory after walking down a hall and looked at a holographic pic on the wall. You call that science?
Science has come up with all kinds of bullshit theories regarding the big bang. Such as physics didn't exist before the big bang. Hawking's dumb ass said that. How the fuck can you know that? He pulled that out of his ass. I might be wrong but it looks to me that the big bang and the law of gravity cannot co-exist so they are coming up with all kinds of conjecture they call theories to try and explain it.
"It doesn't make something else a possibility." What the fuck are you talking about? You just exactly described the process most of the scientist use to come up with bullshit theories. Read Hawking's work. That is exactly what he is doing.
