  • i have a playlist that is public. if you are still curious look it up. as far as how everything got here, i have yet to find a vid demostrating the collision of the 2 membranes wich collided in a dimension we cant see, but can perceive mathematically/theoretically. keep asking great questions and question everything.

  • Humanity doesn't have the answer yet. Many things in the universe may never be discovered or even comprehended by humanity for as long as they exist. There may be multiple realities, universes or other dimensions we can't even detect. The things we don't know dwarf the things we do. The things we don't know or can't know shouldn't automatically be attributed to the same mystical entities our ancestors dreamed up. Keep looking for answers. Don't settle for magic. Reality is much more wondrous.

  • please just watch this "Curiosity with Stephen Hawking, Did God Create the Universe?" Thank you Stephen Hawing for being the first Scientist to say god does not exist I believe the human race is finally on the right path but I know that it will still take some time for the religious to admit they are wrong and will not go without a fight.

  • I think this kid is a little confused on what the big bang is, the big bang doesn't say something came out of nothing, it's rather a cycle, of construction and deconstruction. Though i think he needs to learn more things and detailed. But this kid is showing that he is curious which is something we should encourage the children of the world to be. And to use their logic:)

  • Why did the universe come from anywhere? Maybe it came from here. And believing or not believing in god does not give people knowledge of anything, no matter their faith, education or popularity among other people. You are an intelligent young man. I hope you don't make a habit of allowing others to decide what questions you ask based on their thoughts.

  • What an intelligent young man.

  • You must've never read the full big bang theory that is THE universe. please study more

  • In physics it is possible for Something to come out of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, yes it is possible, no laws of physics says it cant. So the big bang is possible. Any questions

  • Simple answer - no one knows. Just live life to the fullest.

  • the fundamental thing that you're doing right here is asking questions.... questions can lead to answers, sometimes though they simply lead to more questions. As for a good religious question: if all religious books (Bible, Q'ran... so on) are the work of one God - why is it they are all written by men and why is it they are so self contradictory.

  • @scopeophile You don't have to believe the Bible was written by God. What's wrong with a book written by people? A person can be inspired by God, witness God in action, etc, and then write a book about it. Judge by reading it yourself. Read the entire New Testament in MODERN English. Don't only take the word of other people. And everyone should study at least once a 'major religions of mankind' course if they can - or read 'the religions of man' or something like that, too.

  • See, that's what I'm confused about, too. I'm an atheist at the moment (because, of course, that can change) and whenever people figure that out and demand my reasoning to how the universe was created, I don't have an answer. I don't believe in God OR the big bang theory. Why do we even HAVE to know? Like, why not just keep living without the knowledge?

  • @thatswhatsheread Because knowledge is power. You can achieve many things with true (scientific) knowledge. Compare our time to the bronze age for example and then you know what time it is.

  • Question everything! Your doing a good job! If you can't answer it, (no one can yet) keep looking, don't settle for a religion. They think they know the answer, atheist are always looking. Good for you.

  • every one is smart in there own way nobody is stupid no matter what you believe Islam Buddhist Hindu Christian my problem with atheists is they brag how smart they are and like to label these believers as morons idiots and none intelligent people in my opinion every one should get along and quit arguing about the existence of gods and its creations

  • @MrDiablolord You probably converse comfortably with plenty of atheists on a daily basis. Dont take atheists on the internet to be like that in real life, and either way, there are assholes on both sides of the field, both Christian and Atheist. Humans are all the same, they just have different ways of expressing themselves. And dont be delusional, there are definitely stupid people out there. Seriously, go watch Cops or court TV or something.

  • @MrDiablolord

    You're a Christian.

  • Smart kid!

  • READ THE BIBLE SON AND THAT WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR. IT IS BEOND US TO UNDERSTAND THE ALMIGHTY,BUT I WILL TELL YOU AN EASY WAY TO NO AS A FACT THAT GOD IS VERY REAL.LOOK AROUND YOU AT ALL THE EVIL THAT IS HAPPEN AROUND US MUSIC,MOVIES ECT,THERE IS NO DOUGHT THAT A GREAT SPEARITUL DESEPION IS GOING ON JUST LIKE THE BIBLE TELLS US WILL HAPP IN THE LAST DAYS THAT WE ARE CLEARLY IN I HOPE YOU FIND THE TRUTH CUZ IF YOU DONT IT WILL COST YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER NO

  • @jwhamilton79 I'm an atheist, but I like Christ. It's asshole Christians like you I don't like.

  • @jwhamilton79 How is evil a sign of God? Should bountiful good and prosperity be a sign of God? Last I checked he was supposed to be a loving God, all good, all knowing, and all powerful. Or am I wrong? Is he actually a vengeful and jealous God? That would match up with the Bible a lot better, thats for sure. Well if thats the case I'd rather not believe in or pander to such a terrible deity.

  • @jwhamilton79 tl;dr

  • Quantum fluctuations provide some real insight into a likely precondition for the big bang. Essentially, even empty space has a chance of becoming a "real" particle through fluctuations in the energy distribution in a region over "time." Energy itself is the potential for something to interact with another something through space, and it's everywhere. Now rewind the expansion of the universe and all that potential is in an infinitesimal space, and all the quantum probabilities shoot up to 1.0.

  • i believe no one fucking knows and dude who made this vid u are on my level religion was made to make culture it is almost like when laws and rules are made there ment to be broken just like being an atheist or believing in a higher power. and theres these christian fucks who have jesus stuck in there ass. the bible is a fucking book and to my consent its a fiction one!

  • I'd suggest looking up Dr. Michio Kaku's lectures and interviews. There are some videos of his that may help you with your question

  • You have asked the right question, and the atheist answer always is 'well there was something before that, and there was something before that...' There has to be a first cause of anything. For over 40 years they've been trying to create a single living cell from all of the materials within a cell - and failed miserably at thousands of these tests. The odds against spontaneous life with all components present are billions to one. The math doesn't work.

  • @jberton73 SO JEBUS MADE EVERY THING WHAT A SCIENTIFIC ANSWER

  • @jberton73 Right, because something coming from nothing due to an invisible man thinking it up and telling it to is so much more realistic.

    Seriously?

    Also, your odds are invented (not by you, I know), and they ignore highly predictable chemistry (the unknown parts do not equate to magic, and whoever convinced you of that sold your brain a big hunk of baloney).

    p.s. Google "quantum fluctuations" and learn the difference between real and virtual. Gods don't even qualify as virtual.

  • @sillygames THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD DONT SELL THAT TO THIS KID LOOK AT THE WORLD, YOU CAN JUST BOUT SEE THE DEVIL AND YOU CAN SEE THE EVIL,THE OBV ANSWER IS THERE IS ALWAYS AN OPPOSITE GOOD AND GOD.IF YOU SEE THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT REALY IS YOU WOULD SEE THE TRUTH(JESUS) IS COMEING TO STOP ALL THIS EVIL AND A JUDGEMENT IS COMEING ON US,AND ROME AND THE WHOLE WORLD ,BUT I THINK WE WILL GET IT FIRST AND WE DESERVE IT

  • @jwhamilton79 RICHLEY

  • @jwhamilton79 lol@spam

  • So this is what Kevin McCallister was doing before the wet bandits got there

  • @rvm429111 so I'm supposed to take a book seriously that bases its title on a work of comedy?

  • Just read it! It is not too hard to understand, and it is real science that answers the question @RonaldvonMitch on twitter

  • I'm proud that there are younger kids out there asking questions and thinking critically. Keep it up buddy.

  • Keep asking questions kid.

  • Cont:- no knowledge of biology,living in abject fear so they were easily dominated. Or, their is, as we have now, science, biology, physics, intelligence,e.t.c. we have reason and logic rather than just a blind faith in a dusty old book translated from dozens of languages. You probably guessed by now that I'm on the athiest side, and it's not my intention to indoctronate you to my views, so don't allow yourself to be guided just use logic and reason to come to your own conclusions, enjoy life.

  • It's an extremely good question, because it means that you have not been indoctronated by anyone, and therefore should be able to use reason and logic to find the most likely cause of life and how it all started. there are fundamently two ways, 1) There is an intelligent designer, whether christian, allah, mithrop, odin, buddha, e.t.c. most of whom have one book written for them by man, who at the time of writing hadn't travelled further than a few miles, had no knowledge of science cont:-

  • @esraretin I've not forgotten our agreement from October. Per Science Insider, a faulty cable connection seems to have been the root of the measurement discrepency, rather than demonstrating a velocity greater than the speed of light. There's still years of testing to be done on the issue, but I would not disagree to a concession at this point. ;)

  • @QuantumGravity i could ignore ur message:) its all my stupidity ,u were rigth. but give me some time please and i live in turkey if i want to send ur money, how could i ?

  • @esraretin I wouldn't call it stupidity, just an overeagerness to throw out some very established science; I suspect that any future fusion of relativity and quantum mechanics is probably going to keep the c-barrier. I'll let it slide, but if you want to donate some money (or even better, some time) to a local charity, that'd be most excellent of you. Cheers!

  • @QuantumGravity thank u. u are awsome. and good idea! i ll do it.promise!

  • We do answer that. The answer is "We don't know". How could we know? That's what's fascinating about it, the quest to find out where it all came from, rather than just be close minded and live out your life never actually considering there's a chance you're living a lie. Atheists could be too, but if there's solid evidence of God's existence, we'll atleast put our hands up in defeat, rather than the Christian method of saying "God did that to test our faith" or "God moves in mysterious ways".

  • This kid is smarter than Santorum! Who titled this video! What makes more sense matter has and always will exist or God always has and will always exist -

  • An intellectually honest atheist will plainly say "I don't know" to questions of that magnitude, as that's the factual state of where our knowledge can take us. There's nothing wrong with 'I don't know'. Pretending we know things we don't might provide quick, easy -feelings- of knowing something...but that's where it ends; feeling informed, rather than -being- informed. 'I don't know'; vital acknowledgements to make on a lot of things.

  • what the fuck you saying?

  • I love it. Some children are gonna turn out alright. But no one knows how exactly the universe came to be. String theory states that it may be a result of two dimensions impacting each other or that our universe came from matter sucked into black holes. Our planets and such formed from excretion, gravity collecting things together. I very much so doubt that this question will be answered in the near future; it is unlikely to happen within our life times.

    Science is wild and crazy, man.

  • 2 planes of existence (think of them as two trucks on the highway) slowly drift "toward" each other and eventually crash and spread apart. the energy from the crash is converted into matter (E=mc2) and then dispersed during the big bang. the big bang is the universe. the expansion of the tiny point of matter is simply our universe expanding. the planes of existence can be thought of as dimensions like 2d and 3d, they always were because it's simply like gravity, just a fundamental force/rule.

  • It's nice to see Anne Heche is still acting

  • Christian: God made the universe!

    Atheist: Who made God?

    Christian: Oh, he didn't need a creator.

    Atheist: Why does the universe need a creator but not God?

    Christian: *head explosion*

  • @TheSamurai712 The only reason my head exploded is cause I didn't get what you said.

  • @TheSamurai712 simple as that dude.God is merely a name for the creator.then its just up to u wehter or not u even believe in a creator,and then wether or not that creator is a simply a force or a thinking being.

  • @TheSamurai712 My basic conversation until recently. Now, I've condensed it down to this: Why does there need to be a beginning, and why do we need to understand it?

  • @TheSamurai712 Then how come Steven Hawkins acknowledges Gods existents I mean he makes a valid point cause he's a person who believes in nothing but science and doesn't care much for religion or for an atheist's believes either fuck what Chris Hitchens said cause he would be the first one to quote something from the bible or else he would look stupid trying the prove a point right?

  • @SIRHENNY1 Hawking denies God's existence.

  • @TheSamurai712 Yea umm thats not what he said in a letter to the pope about a year ago idk why he continues to beef with the pope cause quite frankly if your not catholic there's no reason to like him

  • @TheSamurai712

    Christian: Because the universe began, and God didn't. No head explosion necessary...

    If you think God needs a creator, you are using a flawed definition of God.

    It's about God being outside time, which is a tough thing to understand, whether you agree with it or not.

  • @IWouldArgue Does it have to be an intelligent being which created the universe? A leading theory is that our universe separated from another one, which had separated from another one, etc...

    The one thing we do not know is why it all started. It's convoluted to default to a mystical being, though.

  • @TheSamurai712 Y does a Being more advanced than us have to be looked at as mystical though? Modern advances of tech might seem mystical to an Amazon dweller if theyd never been exposed to it, but its not mystical: just further advanced technologically. But there IS a spiritual aspect to life, too. I dont say this because I just believe what I want or because someone told me I must. I, like millions of others, have experienced it. No I have never done drugs & never needed meds!

  • @IWouldArgue Wow... do you really believe what you just said?

  • @IWouldArgue Moreover, it's an assumption. Prove it's Yahweh, and not Thor or Brahma.

  • @Greatkingrat88 The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Calling upon Thor to make a miracle will have different results from calling on Yahweh in Jesus's name - and doing it IN THE WAY and WITH THE ATTITUDE & HEART that the great spiritual master, Jesus taught.

  • @zenalaus The proof is in the pudding, indeed- and no miracle has been produced in the name of yahweh- or thor, or brahma- that didn't have a scientific or simply rational explanation. As far as proof goes, it only proves that something happened- not that some greater will was behind it.

  • @TheSamurai712 Because God is a magical omnipotent being, and the universe is not. The universe is governed by the laws of physics, but technically God is not.

  • @TheSamurai712 Christians do not get a head explosion from thinking & Samurai does not have the answer. The FACT is that the boy who posted this video is alluding to the eternal Paradox which NO ONE can solve: There can never have been a time when nothing existed: things CANNOT come from nothing. And things CANNOT have ALWAYS existed with no beginning. End of story. NO ONE can solve this so stop with childish ridiculing of other people.

  • The universe got here the exact same way God got here.

  • You're a smart young man. Keep asking questions and continue to use reason above all else.

  • @Thomaseeno Use reason and your heart. Reason involves reading mankind's greatest and most famous texts - including the New Testament.

  • @zenalaus And what exactly do iron age fairy tales have to say on the fluctuation in the power spectrum of the CMB? The prediction on the correlation spectra of the polarization and its coupling to primordial deformations in the metric would be particularly helpful.

  • HUMANS DON'T UNDERSTAND THINGS IN OUR DIMENSIONS.

  • NO ONE CREATED GOD. HE'S GOD AND HE'S FRICKEN COOL

  • how old r u pratt, 11? lolz

  • We don't have a 100% agreed on way the big bang began but

    A) There is the oscillating theory

    B) the multiverse theory

    C) or the theory matter created itself and formed a singularity (remember no laws of science at this time)

    D) the theory every action we take a universe with the opposite reaction happens

    E) or anything you could possibly imagine

    But if I remember correctly C is more accepted because Quantum Mechanics states it is possible.

    Just do research and find it for yourself

  • what is wrong with just saying... it's a mystery. We don't know yet. It's the drive to say we know even when we don't that is problematic.

  • LOL u make me laugh ur like 2 years old i think its funny sorry but its funny lol

  • Its easy. Nothing can come from nothing thats obvious, so before the big bang matter already existed... so... the universe has ALWAYS existed, it had no beginning and will have no end. Obvious.

  • What I don't get is this... If it's so easy to believe God (or whoever) was ALWAYS HERE, why is it so hard to believe that the Universe has also, always been here? Yeah, wrap your little 13 year old head around that!

  • YOU THICK IDIOT! HOW OLD ARE YOU? THink about the multiverse. It ends SOMEWHERE. Then who made it? Imagine there is nothing beyond it. What does existance meannnnnnnnn? Technically anything is possible. PS probablity is only possible amongst a multiverse, not a universe. Think about it.

  • @englishjumper123 do you realize there is no such thing as absolute nothing?

    Even nothing is something.

  • Such a young handsome insightful mind at work (: keep it up kid, we need more thinkers like you!

  • the reason why most atheists don't answer that question because your not asking a scientist

  • Well personally my answer to this question comes from Occams razor, the most simplest explanation is the most plausible, so a self creating universe is the most likely answer to this question. I am sure others have other explanations too, but that is the position I take personally.

  • Well done, kid. You keep asking those important questions and don't get lazy with the God excuse like religious people. Keep your mind and heart open to the light and dark of the world, finding balance between the two is the key.

  • I thought the question was going to be "Why oh why did you put it in her butt?"

    Because frankly that's the one I refuse to answer.

  • To my knowledge to closest we have to knowing what caused the creation of the universe is held with in string theory which is very complex and don't have enough free characters to explain it but if you want to know i encourage you guys look into it

  • The problem with creationism is that it doesn't work because you always end up with the conundrum of who created the creator? For one being to have created everything in the universe it would have to be something of mind boggling complexity in order to come up with something so vast, yet with such minute detail. It most certainly couldn't have been something in "mans own image"

    We don't know, but we're working on it surely has to be the most open minded answer?

  • @gotnygurners I think you mean in "God's own image" and to be made in "God's image" means to be made with the ability to learn and apply, create, invent, love, hate, hurt, be happy, be sad, etc. Intellect. It's basically what makes us different from everything else in the universe. Those are the same attributes of God.

  • The true problem with Atheist's is that they feel they are to smart to believe in a higher power. The more disturbing thing is how they will go out of their way to mock religion when it has been the center of almost every thing in the world today. America weather you like it or not, was found on god. in my AP Bio class, my teacher said this "Just because you cant see science, doenst mean its not there" you can have the same argument for religion. People have their beliefs. People over think alot

  • @kuntyfucstik discovering the author of an anonymous document doesn't shrink either the document or the author (not a bible ref btw)

  • jesus camp

  • hope u die

  • Check our inbox. I sent you a picture of my balls.

  • You're smart and I approve this video. It's good to have questions, respects to you. Religion was sought out to fill in the blanks that humans or things could not fill, and of course, control the masses. I am an atheist and we honestly don't know how the universe was created and neither do other religions; They're all just theories(just like science), and stories.

  • universe always existed,cant create something from nothing..

  • Comment removed

  • @MultiFreebieJeebies ...and your stupid, immature comebacks are for children.

    i think this kid makes no sense and is just babbling, but still, don't counter immaturity with immaturity. 

  • @abadcaseofthebeatles you're kidding, right? Because that's exactly what your doing.

  • @MultiFreebieJeebies he's not a christian, he's a smart kid

  • Creationists are the ones that claim "something" came from "nothing" - Evolution is the fact that everything materialistic and even non-matter, has changed and continues to change throughout history, our current lives, and will also do so in the future. Evolution does not and has never claimed, that matter, came from nothing. The GOD theory is the only theory that claims to have waved a magic wand and "created" everything out if nothing.

  • first oFF, the BIG BANG THEORY is all Bullshit, nothing cannot created something... no man has the right to know what created "GOD", there are plenty boundaries between man and The creator stop wondering... believers know what god wants them to, and Non believers believe what they choose to... end of debate

  • @Parchybangin Wow you're close-minded and stupid. Try thinking about it all, for several years.

  • @Parchybangin Physicists don't claim that it occurred out of nothing. The original mass of the universe, according to theory, was less than 1" in diameter. The amount of energy in that mass is mind boggling. It had no choice but to explode. Who made the mass? No one. It is eternal, in a sense, because time as we know it did not exist before the singularity.

    Once you have a degree in physics (or at least a much better understanding of it), then you can call it bullshit.

  • And one more thing after reading more of your babble. God is good? He will heal us? Really!? Of he's so good and has a master plan, why is half the world struggling with poverty? Why are people dying for no reason. Why do some people see their entirely family killed right in front of their eyes and are left with nothing?

  • @GdaleKing Half the world is struggling with poverty because WE DON'T SHARE with our brothers and sisters. we don't care more about other people than we do about ourselves. People don't die for no reason, and as for people's families dying, men kill other men, not God. God gives us free will to do as we please. He offers us an alternative, a chance to be a part of a future Kingdom that knows no war, no pain, no suffering, no hunger, no tears, no fear. Just fairness and love. Free will to choose.

  • @jennahwithanh your arguments are full of hate and anger and most especially, the misunderstanding of who God is. And that's probably due to some bad grapes ruining God for you by, let me guess...talking about an everburning hell, continual torture if you don't believe in God? someone at some point told you you were a sinner or that you weren't good enough for God? well, I'm sorry if any of that is true for you, and I pray that God sends you some love and understanding. <3

  • @jennahwithanh

    Why did your god interfere many times in human affairs in the Bible but did nothing during the Holocaust?

  • @atheistgeezer Because God had "some" purpose for that, which is just too complicated for us humans to understand.... Or, because he isn't there TO intervene.

  • Comment removed

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere

    I'd go with he just isn't there.

  • @jennahwithanh I agree on the poverty point: this is a problem that CAN be solved by man. People don't die for no reason? I hope you don't mean that God intentionally allows infants to be be burned alive in fires, or people to be tortured for weeks/months (just to name two examples) for some "divine" plan.

    Jesus said “There be some STANDING HERE, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28), so the kingdom is running late.

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere He means the generations of those people will not die off, silly.

  • At Jenna, so with you choosing that you'd like to believe that God created you with a special purpose for himself why are so many children born retarded or with major birth defects? You sound extremely arrogant and ignorant. Not a good combo. No go fuck yourself.

  • @GdaleKing wow. relax. wound up pretty tight. listen, God created every single one of us with a purpose, not just me. Not just "Christians", not just "good" people. I am the least deserving person of the grace of God, I can't even begin to tell you what I've done, the things I'm now ashamed of. But He picked me to know Him for some reason, and He does it to others who want it too. But He won't force anyone. I'm truly sorry you're so angry. I used to be really angry too. But He took it.

  • watch the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, it explains everything.

  • @ChapogiGuy that's a hilarious movie. "I think I'll go have a lie down somewheres." lol

  • christians have trouble understanding the word infinity and forever

  • who would dislike a video of someone who's just asking some honest questions???

  • to paraphrase arthur c. clarke: "either there is a god, or there isn't one. either prospect is equally frightening."

  • deep questions; a kid after my own heart. cheers, bro! answers aren't really the point. we experience things and are aware of our experience. that's it. we are the cosmos observing itself. the singularity, in becoming aware of itself simultaneously spawns opposition and reconcilliation. all else stems from this: the 1 (singularity), the 2 (opposition), and 3 (reconcilliation). answers are concrete; awareness relies on cycles, like the breath in your lungs.

  • Comment removed

  • If anyone posts to you saying they know where the Universe came from or how the Universe came to be, they are lying.

    The current scientific explanation is the singularity. That might change 50 or 100 years from now as science is self correcting.

    No one has a 100% answer and Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson says man knows only around 6% or everything.

    Our sciences are primitive in relation to the size and age of the Universe.

    Good for you for questioning and keep questioning as no one has the real answer.

  • You're a clever kid, colour me impressed. You've a good head on your shoulders. Keep thinking as clearly as you are now, and there's hope for the species yet. =]

  • (Continued)

    ...via reason and science, NOT religion. Religion is not, nor has it ever been, a reliable path to truth.

  • At this time, no one has an answer to the question of "how everything got here", or in other words, "What caused the big bang?" A few things:

    1) No one has yet demonstrated that there NEEDED to be a first cause.

    2) The first moment of the big bang is considered the first moment in time. Thus, "What happened before the big bang?" may be a nonsensical question because how could something occur BEFORE the first moment in time?

    3) If we ever answer this question, I suspect it will have been found

  • I for one, know how the universe began. But before I can help answer your question, I need you to complete a degree in Physics at university, preferably at the masters level and even more preferably at the PhD level. Once you have done that, come back to me and I can give you your answer.

    Good luck!

  • One question thiests never answer:

    If god cares about humanity, why does god let bad things happen to good people?!

  • @Lucifera4 Then I'd have to ask you what your definition of "good" is. Where do you get your standard for what makes someone a "good person"? And if it's not God's standard of what constitutes a good life, then He isn't really letting "bad" things happen to "good" people, is He? Besides, "bad" things are all in the way you perceive them. I take hardships and struggles in stride, because I always come out stronger from them. Why do you think they rid gold of impurities by trying it with fire? :)

  • @jennahwithanh My definition of 'good' is not being a 'bad' person. Always helping people who need and deserve it, never saying bad things like swearing (swearing makes no sense, it is like slang language), fighting - unless it is self defense or hunting for food, not acting like an annoying child. Stuff like that.

    What is YOUR definition of 'good'? :)

  • @Lucifera4 Well, I don't really have a definition of a "good" person, since there isn't a single one that exists. We're all "bad" really. If you hate someone, it is bad. If you talk badly about someone, it is bad. If you take something that does not belong to you, it is bad. If you lie, even a "little white one", it is bad. If you look at a woman/man to lust after them sensually, it is bad. If you want what someone else has, it is bad. So we're all bad. But God is good :) He will heal us.

  • @jennahwithanh The only difference between us all is if you believe that or not. That's all.

  • @Lucifera4 and I totally agree with you about the swearing bit. Swearing makes one sound ignorant and trashy.

  • A philosophical answer:

    We can map the entire universe as a point on a line. The line represents time. Take that line and (doing the same process) map it onto another line as a point; except now there isn’t really a line, just a point. A point has no before and no after, so the question [universe comes..] is no longer applicable.

    Why this universe exists and not another? All possible universes exist separately with no spatial links (or any links) between the universes by definition. 

  • The universe did not "get here", it has always been here. It is beginningless. Time is not a property of the universe it is an artifact of our senses. Humans have a limited ability to perceive the universe, which allows us only to perceive reality within the continuum of time and space. The universe - by definition, is unbounded. It has always been, it will always be, it has no beginning, it has no end.

  • How old is this kid? He should be jacking off and smoking and playing video games! Not being concerned with existentialism! Trust me kid, enjoy this time when you can eat boogers and punch people your own age without being arrested, because being an adult SUCKS ASS!

    Sure we can drive cars and drink, but we drive cars to take us to shitty jobs and drink so we can forget about our shitty jobs. Trust me kid, if I could go back to being a child, I would in a fucking second. Thunder Cats! Ho!

  • You're much to young to quantize an answer to questions no one on this earth has a truthful answer to. Mankind had developed religion to quell the fear of death for the weak and uneducated to promulgate. They promise them a non existent afterlife for control and monetary purposes. If there were a God who loved us, then ask yourself why there are billions of microscopic bacterial viruses just waiting to devastate our bodies with disease to destroy us, earthquakes, typhoons and tsunamis to kill?

  • @lifeschild1 age is just a number he is capeable of answering anything that is asked

  • @ServantofGod2012 Your response is baseless and without merit.

  • @lifeschild1 so is your's it seems

  • @ServantofGod2012 Yours not your's....is the correct grammatical response textually speaking. Get off of the net and go back to school.

  • @lifeschild1 whats your point in responding to me anyway? what do you hope to gain?

  • I was subbing for a teacher who sits with a few children in a science class, and the teacher told them, blatantly said, "If you do not believe in evolution, with all the evidence there is, missing links, all that, then you are just ignorant, really." told 5th and 6th graders this. They were ignorant if they did not believe in evolution. And this is in a very, small, exclusive school with about 100 students. Imagine what higher populated school's are teaching your children. evolution is a THEORY

  • @jennahwithanh When will this "Just a theory" business be put to bed? I don't condone how that teacher supposedly handled the evolution question, but evolution is the best explanation for the data. Do you believe in the explanation for how gravity works? Well, even THAT is still called a theory! A theory in science is not a "guess". That's a hypothesis. The theory of evolution is supported by so many areas of science, especially genetics, that it can be called a fact.

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere everyone uses that "gravity is a theory too" response, so I kind of expected that. lol I'm not here to argue, I was just putting in my two cents just like everyone else here. that's the beauty of the freedom of speech that we have for the time being. all I'm saying is that I know I was created by a loving, attentive God, not formed from some soup. I was given unique glory by God Almighty. <3 separate from everything else in this Universe. that is all.

  • @jennahwithanh Hi there, Jennah with an h! Free speech is, of course, a wonderful thing, but the point still remains: The word 'theory' in the scientific world is not used the same way that we would use it, as in a hunch or a guess. All theories can be overturned with contradicting evidence, but when it has hung in there for over 150 years, such as Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, then it is tantamount to being called a fact, like the theory of gravity.

  • Comment removed

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere Another thing I wanted to ask was, how come the 'gravity is a theory, too' doesn't get any traction? That is, it's true, so why doesn't it make people stop saying that evolution is "just a theory"? Maybe it should be called a Theory (with a capital 'T') to differentiate it from a theory (lower case 't') that really does mean a 'guess' or a 'hunch'. Even the former pope accepted evolution as fact, John Paul the Second. And he was kind of religious...

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere Religion and God are two entirely separate ideas. Religion says "do" and Jesus says "done". And the Bible discredits "Pope's" anyhow, so let's nip that in the bud now. Basically, I would MUCH rather believe that a loving, intelligent God created me with a special purpose for Himself than believe that I evolved from soup or from an animal who has no reason within himself. Nothing happens by chance. I've looked at evolution, and I've looked at the Word of God. I choose God :)

  • @jennahwithanh Hello, again! Yeah, the idea of the pope is all about keeping control of "the church". My point in bringing that up, though, was to show that it is possible to believe in God and still accept evolution as fact.

    And I, too, used to believe that God was all-loving until I REALLY read the Old Testament and the story about Satan's wager with God to prove that Job would lose his faith after all of his children were killed (with God's permission!). How sick is that?

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere [Cont.] As Francis Collins (head of the Human Genome Project, and devout Christian) said, even if NO fossils had ever been found, common ancestry can be proven through genetics. And to me, I find it MORE beautiful and awe-inspiring to know that I am not just metaphorically related to all living things, but ACTUALLY related to all living things. What aspects of evolution did you have trouble accepting, other than the idea that it doesn't require a god?

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere Hello, me again.. :)

    You say nothing happens by chance, but it does. The fact that you are not exactly like your parents proves it. DNA copying is imperfect, and it's a good thing, otherwise none of this would have happened. Remember, evolution by natural selection is not random. It's the DNA mutations that are random. Most changes are neutral, but sometimes an advantage is gained, such as a longer neck (Giraffe) or a slightly larger brain, etc.

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere well, as for saying the Pope believes in God, that's a whole other issue. Not even going to go there right now. There has not been any "disclosure" on evolution as of yet. Just a lot of propaganda and money to back it up. And as for the book of Job, it's one of my favorite books. I read it often, there's so much in that book. Supposedly the oldest book in the Bible canon.

  • @jennahwithanh I'm scratching my head on your reply, I have to say, Jennah. Even if you don't believe the pope believes in God (?), certainly a LARGE percentage of his 'followers' do, and accept his acceptance of evolution.

    What "disclosure" are you talking about? There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of books written about evolution and how it works over the last 150+ years!

    And what money? How many tax-free church dollars are spent on "debunking" evolution?

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere And speaking of the age of the bible, doesn't it strike you as odd that the bible, our guide book to life and the key to our salvation, takes well over a thousand years to get written and 'finalized'?

    And when I say 'finalized', I'm talking about the group of men who got together in the 4th century (over 300 years after Christ) and decided what was to stay in there and what had to go.

    Sounds to me very much like a human endeavor, not divine.
