The Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle predicted by theory. So? Theoretical predictions are often wrong. It looks to me like a magic cure.
I get it. You have invested the big bang with the power to create everything out of nothing. You don't have a problem with the idea of creation as...
One of the definitions of volume is "a region of space". Nothing is said or implied as to contents.
Not at all. They are doing some very interesting research there, but what they are doing is not testing the origins of the universe. In order to do...
I make no claim to be anything but what I am. But I am, however, well educated. I have re-read the section I mentioned several times, and his...
That's rich. Your side doesn't have one of those, but I'm supposed to?
No, I consider it absurd to assert that something existed before anything existed. The man said: "The universe at t = 0 is nothing other than the...
I will humor you. It is directly contradictory. If nothing exists then nothing can exist because out of nothing nothing comes. I do in fact believe...
Many people believe that.
Everything did come from nothing, but not by any of the suppositions offered here. I think these suppositions are clung to because the alternative is...
In post #65 I asserted that creation (accidental or otherwise) of everything from nothing is an impossibility. Since then I have been directed to a...
One last question for you: Are you going out of your way to miss the point?
For James. You come at me like a Mack truck. Save it for someone more easily intimidated.
I quote: " The universe at t = 0 is nothing other than the particles’ temporal parts a and b and c. Each of these time-slices of the particles is...
You equivocate. Out of nothing nothing comes is a universal concept.
Yes. We can move on once you have read it and understood it but if you're just going to ignore it, we're not going to get anywhere. No. I am...
Really. The logic is impeccable. Or are you willing to claim that creation ex nihilo is the norm? I am not disputing what we, by long convention,...
the_reason_the_universe_exists_is_because_it_caused_itself_to_exist. Sure. Now perhaps you might give a mechanism to explain how something that...
A note of condescension ? Since you mention semantics you are surely aware that "exist" means to come from or out of. I'll stipulate that time...
Simple: If there is nothing then there is no place for something to come from. You have missed the point. The things you mention happen, but the...
