    The thing is that you just said that you think that the universe was created.

    Create. It's a verb, see, someone or something must be doing it for that sentence to make sense.

    You're implying the first part of the sentence by saying the second.

    for the record something can be created spontaneously from nothing and by nothing e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_polarization
    but thats a gay argument. the last sentence was a last minute edit which i didn't even think through, so i'm not bothered that its a bit inconsistent and that i didn't choose my words carefully

    Since someone started dropping Wikipedia articles, I call upon:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hume
    and
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction

    All science is based on assumption. If you drop a stone you assume it'll fall down, but how can you be sure that the next time we drop it, it won't fall upwards?

    Scientists once said atoms were the smallest possible particles, those idiots

    My fave bit was when we larfed at the medievals because they thought that light came in particles.
