The dating of strata in Australia and Canada may be incorrect. Then there is no missing billion years of strata.
If you want to claim that you would need to come up with evidence for it. They do appear to have strong evidence for the dating that they gave it.

In other words you are already clutching at straws.

How can you test the Big Bang?

You would probably be better off asking a physicist. But the model makes predictions and it can be tested by those predictions.

Can we measure an infinite universe?

I would not know. We can measure expansion of that universe. Again, it would be better to ask a physicist.

What was before the cosmic inflation event?

Again, ask a physicist.

Can we assume anything about the deep past?

Assumptions are not allowed in the sciences so I really do not know what you are talking about.

By the way, what you just did is called "Moving the goalposts". In other words you as much as admitted that my claims about the periods before the Cambrian. Why make such an error?

your responsibility to support it with finding the truth by seeking it

Matthew 7:7
Nope, that is not the way that it works.

It appears that you are claiming that your Buddhist concept of God is an immoral one. Christians usually at least try to claim that God is not playing hide and seek.

you must find the truth in religion


remain atheist and we'll see
Once again, if there is truth in religion it is the duty of the religious to prove their claims. Not the other way around.

You seem to believe only because you want to believe. You have no reliable evidence. Tell me, will your version of God punish those that do not find him? And who has found him? It can't be both the Christians and the Muslims since they disagree with each other quite strongly. It can't be the Jews and the Christians or the Jews and the Muslims either for the same reason.

you are like a spoiled child who wants everything handed to them


rather than seeking that which is true (which is not easy)

Nope. Not true at all. What makes you think that I did not look. I am sure that I did a much more thorough search than you did. You have a belief but cannot support it. That almost always means that a person is wrong.

our view matters, about the afterlife
Why would it matter? Since you refuse to even try to support your claims I am now treating you as being wrong until you do. Do you want to continue to admit that you are wrong by posting nothing?

the method of science does not apply to religious concerns


your insistence on evidence has not alleviated your ignorance


you will only clash with people here without result
I am not the ignorant one here. I am not the one that makes claims and never supports them. And one needs evidence for any rational belief. Otherwise people will simply believe what they want to believe. That appears to be your case. You have some strange beliefs that you cannot support. And yet you expect others to believe you. Not everyone is incompetent in this world.

What is your personal version of God? What do you think that God is like?

are you aware the afterlife is a reality?


are you expecting to not exist…?
Why assume that an afterlife exist? If it is a reality then that would mean that you can demonstrate this fact. If you only have mere belief it looks like your own personal pipedream.
