Big Bang is Scientific fact. We know this because the universe is constantly expanding as the video above explains. including two Americans who recently won Nobel prize for photographing the Big Bangs reflecting radiation from high powered telescope.

This points to an inevitable conclusion of a beginning to the Universe. But does this support the atheist position?


American physicist Heinz Pagels had this to say.
"This unthinkable void converts itself into the plenum of existence-a necessary consequence of physical laws. Where are these laws written into that void? what "tells" the void that it is pregnant with a possible universe? It would seem that even the void is subject to law, a logic that exists prior to space and time."



The nature of existence is stupifyingly complex, to believe that everything came togethor from mere random Chance at all is absolutely absurd.
that from one speck of that unimaginable void came planets and stars and life from what? and life that evolves itself to think where it came from?
How bizarre and random.

You have deflected the topic to bashing you and your beliefs. All but a few have forgotten the demand of a Muslim to censor us.

Not a wise plan, there.
so you think I or someone else will ask them to censor bashing of Christians?

Re: Blasphemy as a forum rule violation

The link is a riot! Here are some gems:

....

Goldenpalace.com says it will take the sandwich on world tour before selling it and donating the money to charity....
Nice round the world boondoggle before the money (what's left of it, that is) goes to charity.

It scared her:

....

Last week, Mrs Duyser told reporters the sandwich had brought her luck - including winnings of $70,000 at a casino near her Florida home.

I went to take a bite out of it, and then I saw this lady looking back at me. I hollered for [my husband]. It scared me at first

"I went to take a bite out of it, and then I saw this lady looking back at me," she said, according to the Chicago Tribune newspaper.

"I hollered for him," she said, gesturing to her husband, Greg. "It scared me at first."...
Now, there are spinoffs:

....

One seller is even offering a "Virgin Mary" sandwich toaster - though the item description includes the caveat that the item "may or may not reproduce the Virgin Mary image".
I had no idea....

Since it should be painfully obvious to anyone that Steve cares less than zero for your prayers, it seems the only reason you would post this is to let everyone else know what a wonderful guy you really are. Otherwise I can't see any point to it.

You are not getting it, are you. When you take your break, ponder it a bit. Then ask again.

(hint: Which religion(s) is(are) showing tolerance, here?)

Re: Blasphemy as a forum rule violation

One observation of mine since joining this forum: The only persons I have seen show outrageous intolerance when posting claim to be Christians and Muslims. Not all, but the ones showing intolerance are.

It's pretty bizarre.

[edit] We can't forget the occassional Nazi, but it's hard to pin down what religion they are. [/edit]

What's really cool is that, if you accidentally slice your finger while cutting your Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich©, you can always fix yourself up with one of these:

Re: Blasphemy as a forum rule violation

The cat butt just sold on ebay for a whopping $1.7 million.

And dog people are the only "true pet owners" (tm). No such thing as balance when faced with that fact.

(snakes are OK, too.)

OK fine, Prime Mover. Universe had to come from something, Something was god.

You're begging the question, where did GOD come from? If he's just...eternal, well, why couldn't the Universe just be eternal?

You're doing argument from order but it's still the same. The Universe has to be orderly, or we wouldn't be here to see it.

And Universe isn't orderly, on the whole, in any case

Re: Blasphemy as a forum rule violation

Curiosity got the best of me and I looked up Jesus food. Someone has quite the sense of humor:

Jesus Crepe
Posted in Friendly Atheist at 6:46 pm by Hemant Mehta

Kyle made crepes for his girlfriend over the weekend. But the result was not what he had expected.

When they looked at their food, both were shocked by what they saw.

As Kyle explained via email:
Quote:
Very clearly it is the image of Jesus!

He looked so happy and joyous we found our hearts filled with wonder.
I can see why. It’s uncanny, the resemblance....

Wow, if you think one of the goals of Islam is the eradication of Christianity, you really don't know squat about Islam. I would highly recommend you stop reading whatever drivel it is that you claim to be your sources for information regarding Islam.
