• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Lawrence Krauss: "A Universe From Nothing" - YouTube

So I've been thinking about this video, and since this is a theory, I figure I can use a theory.

What about the Higgs-Boson Particle? If Higgs is right, then dark matter wouldn't have "mass" or "gravity", and therefore would not "weigh" anything. Therefore, all their calculations would be false.

I think that the point was to show that a model can be constructed to show how everything came to be without a god.

True, but if that model was constructed using false rules it pretty much means nothing. Maybe a new model won't be able to do as such, or it will be able to do so with fewer guesses.

Well it was an extremely logical model, unlike that of religions.

Hi, Lawrence krauss is unfortunately very deceptive in his writing and lectures, when he speaks of nothing he himself admits he is not really speaking of nothing. Krauss's arguments are very flawed in several ways.If anybody wants to debate the validity of his arguments with me they are more than welcome to contact me on skype at jamesiscool47.
