J2k4-Your efforts were fine. I had thought of posting something along those lines, but glad I didn't. You pulled it off way better than I could have. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.![]()

You know, it's odd:
When I was in my late teens or early twenties, I would have gotten on the original train and proceeded with much haste to the engine, just so I could be the "engineer".![]()
These days I find it preferable to wave as the train leaves the station so I can get home to the important stuff.
So, if everyone will both excuse the expression and resist the urge to take it as a double entendre:
Big Bang, My Ass!!

In a Primeaval form? Before the Big Bang Theory that is.Originally posted by UKMan@10 November 2003 - 19:44
My own personal opinion is that the answer is so simple, it defies logic:
Space has allways been there and there was nothing before that because it has allways existed!
I believe that "God" is an explanation of something we can't explain.

No, not in a primeaval form. I mean it has allways existed - there never was any beginning, only to our own galaxy of course, but not to the whole universe. The universe (IMHO) was allways there, so there has never been a beginning so therefore no primeaval form either.
There again, i suppose you could conclude that our own galaxy or part of it was formed by some big-bang - a creation of sorts. These big-bangs have been happening since who knows when - a continuous creation of galaxies through time.
Your views about God are widely shared with many. Many think that we (the human race) have created him just to justify our existance and give us a meaning to life. The only thing that i cannot comprehend in that theori is that i cannot accept that life and nature and everything we see and feel and experience has no purpose. Its a common enough ego trip i suppose, but thats my thoughts anyway. Its too beautifull to be non-essential to something.

I once tried to understand the following theory:
Divide something in two indefinately - that must be possible, because you cant divide something into two nothings. That kinda explains our limitations.
It has to travel half the distance, by which time the target has moved...etc etc into infinity.
Think i'll stick to my knowledge that i'd die....![]()

Yes, all based on the paradox of Zeno ( he used a turtle in his original text)
Modern maths solved that with limits, you know, that 8 on its side.

Ahh the good old Co-op![]()
How far can you run from the co-op with something you've stolen before someone catches up with you - i'm beginning to understand![]()

Until you run out of breath? (and what is a co-op???)
nice subject i think this comes in with my theory that things can always get bigger an things can always get smaller and within all that there will always be matter so there is no begining and no end so no start or no endOriginally posted by UKMan@10 November 2003 - 19:44
If you believe in the Big Bang theory, then explain what came before that - and in that case, what came before that. If you dont, then what is your opinion or belief?
My own personal opinion is that the answer is so simple, it defies logic:
Space has allways been there and there was nothing before that because it has allways existed!
I also believe that (if there is a God/Creator/Thing/Entity/Whatever - whatever your definition is) - he is only OUR God/etc/etc and that other Gods/etc/etc exist in other universies or/and Galaxies.
Please keep this on a nice level with good deap discussions and no trashing please. Everyone has a right to their own opinion without being flamed - including lil'ol'me![]()
