@adzii1 Yeah, well, just because we don't quite understand it yet doesn't mean that everything was created by a beardy guy guarding the gates of heaven. If anything, the universe is 'eternal' and god is just a stupid excuse made by cavemen 10000 years ago.

@fhjhgj65 15 billion years of cosmological evolution is hardly 'suddenly'. There's nothing at all sudden about it. The problem is your brain is locked into biblical timescales, which is why you're not able to envisage a falsifiable natural explanation. So someone thousands of years ago comes up with this 'infallible' supernatural explanation, and given the lack of evidence to the contrary, it made sense then, but given what we know now, only wilful ignorance can support the God hypothesis.

@Trandok A thing that always surprises me is that in the community of astrophysicists, it's the atheistic scientists, rather than the theistic ones, who deny the possibility of a Big Bang theory. They feel that to have a "beginning" of our universe smacks too much of creationism. As scientifically-minded people, we need to be open to possibilities & use our intellect for discovery rather than for ad hominem attacks against people who have incongruent theologically-based belief systems.

Higgs Higgs glorious Higgs :D

As long as they are not doing any more LHC raps, then fine.

@fhjhgj65 It baffles me how ignorant and naive you truly are. You are totally fixed in your way of viewing things; a universe without God is not a valid option for you!

@SirGeorge8600 you're comparing god, to you on your Sims game. surely this just hinders your argument

[SirGeorge8600]

lol I visit a CERN music video and people are arguing about GOD as with 90% of the science videos I watch on here...rarely do they ever talk about the science itself. My gosh, you're not going to become mathematically intellectual by understanding algebra in a calculus course in the same way you don't prove your intelligence by arguing religion. I'm sick of how atheism has become a portal for people to 'prove' their intelligence...the matter almost has faith in itself.

@joshuaB765 well if you were God wouldn't you make evil shit happen? I mean come on...humanity can be so over-rated. It's like in Sim City...boring shit building and making good, but it's fun when you make disasters and shit happen.
