still comparing concepts to reality..
no, the ball isnt in my court. you just got dunked on and you're still trying to figure out who did it.
Everything that exists today must have been created at some point. Since this "creation" seems to break the law of conservation of matter, it makes sense to me that a powerful entity facilitated such an event.
If indeed matter did come from nothing then invoking god would be a valid explanation for why.
(Or are we headed for the classic "we will introduce a powerful entity whose nature is unfathomable and incomprehensible in order to solve the problem of existence by rendering it unquestionable" manoeuvre?)
What's all this arguing over "Regions"?People shouldn't care about what region they are in.

Man, I hope I live long enough to be around for the discovery of a quantum theory of gravity...)

i think science and god are coexisting just fine at this point, maybe if we find out there is a multi-verse, and have a little more understanding of certain things it will be the case.
you all can guess all you want (simple beginnings) i believe in god, and i will guess science will uncover certain things, and it won't hurt my rational belief in god one bit
anyways, i think we've only found out how much we don't know, and there's some sort of god for mankind involved.
it seems to me shit is connected through the energy fields, so there not really coming from nothing. after i thought about it, shit like that doesnt seem any more crazy than atoms.
