That's a token argument...
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
omnipotent eh?
did they not have Viagra in them days then?
Embarrassing if you've forgotten to create the yellow rope.
Technically the true scientific position is to come up with a testable hypothesis and test it. This is what things like M-branes are for, unfortunately were still working out what to test.
Anyway, totally misread the subject...
There were some really interesting ideas, a book worth reading is the first 3 minutes. It's insane. Doesn't hypothesise about the big bang itself much, but talks about the various states of the universe in the first few minutes of existence.
There was an interesting idea I came across - the idea that the universe is not infinite but has elastic qualities.
It will expand until it can expand no more, then "snap back", compressing our universe into an infinitely small state, which then rebounds as another big bang occurs.
It doesn't explain the origin of existence though.
One last thought: you wouldn't expect to be able to teach a dog quantum mechanics. Humans will have an intellectual limit - is it not feasible that we simply cannot understand, but some future race does have the further capacity to do so? Therefore, at some point, future intellectual endeavour will cease to be worthwhile and we'll be little more than worker drones.
Oh god I've gone crosseyed. I told you I loved looking this stuff up
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
