Origin of the Universe

PICTURES OF CHEESES?
WHY?

I can see that a real conversation is not going to happen

Scientists really wanted this to be the case since it would explain away the 'beginning' problem. But unfortunately they found that the expansion is not only NOT slowing down, it is accelerating. The cause is an even more mysterious 'Dark Energy'.

So No, there is no Bang - Crunch - Bang - Crunch happening. The universe appears to be a One-Shot event.

WTF is a 'one-shot' event?

Something that happens only once.

Like?

Leicester City winning the Premier league

Was unexpected, but who's to say it wont be repeated?
'Swans' replicated leicester's 2015 'out of relegation - into mid-table prog.
Reckon them next season...?

Actually given a good run, swans have a good core of players, I think they're a Wilfred bony away from being a strong mid table team again. Leicester have every chance of finishing top four again next season if they hold onto Kante or replace him sensibly. I used the example more light heartedly than anything. It's been a great year of football (today aside)

Like your mother giving birth to you.

Agreed Foot it certainly does appear to be. Yet there's something intellectually unsatisfying about it as a 1-time event

I did not say 'people create God'. I explained that humans use concepts like 'creation' and 'God' to attempt to account for thir experience of prediction and control of what they see as 'the world''. Your vested interest in 'the Big Controller' uses the concepts 'touch', 'God', 'mind' and 'existence' in a typical conjunction familiar to 'believers'. Without the assumption of religious context in which 'The Big Controller does the touching', the interplay of those concepts would be meaningless. Read Wittgenstein on 'language games' (and he was a believer ! )

I can see and understand you have no intention of learning about God, but to clarify, I mean God as a creator of all things who is sovereign.(As I stated in my original question) Anyway, how do you suppose the world came to be? I figure that as we cannot know how it came to be that a supernatural force would be a logical conclusion.

I'd assume it has an origin? Does not every natural thing have an origin?

That would be assuming there is an infinite number of dimensions or life in different worlds. By infinite I mean space within our universe. Also, from before... How could you assume life would be found other places if life does not just randomly develop or happen?

Occam's Razor aside, Magic still doesn't seem to be a very logical conclusion.

Fair assumption but what proof do you have for this claim that the supernatural is not responsible for the creation of the universe we live in?

Quote:
.... you'd always find life somewhere

Ab, I don't understand the q. In fact it seems that life is a somewhat random event. However the Universe is so big and there are so many inhabitable planets that there's bound to be life developing on millions if not billions of 'em

Mark what's a pillock

How is life a random event and how can something come from nothing? I apologize for not being clear but that is what I am getting at.
