You think this world is a disaster or you do not.

And I'll say it again.

I'm posting as if this world is a PRODUCT of a disaster.

One that occurred in 13,800,000,000 BC when, for some inexplicable reason, the status quo of a tiny atom got upset by a natural disaster.

So you are making up a bizarre mythology that no one believes as a justification for applying a negative label to a version of history that you disagree with.

That's incredibly silly.

How much of that story DO you believe though, Shemjaza?

Do you believe that, at one time, the universe existed as a Primordial Atom (for lack of a better term)?

If you don't, do you believe that that is what was taught at one time?

I would just like to take a moment to thank the designers of this forum for including the option to unwatch specific threads.

That's why it's a challenge thread, Brad.

It is a thought-provoking mental exercise that makes you see science from a perspective that you probably have never considered before.

From the perspective of ignorance you are spot on.

I believe the universe was vastly denser than it became during the Big Bang, but applying personality, life and priority to something that is unknown and possibly unknowable is ridiculous.

If you want to describe the universe itself as a disaster because it and everything in it will eventually "die", then I guess I can see the justification, but describing the beginning changes as a disaster because some hypothetical something from before could be interpreted as being destroyed by the process is unjustified.

You're certainly welcome to your opinion.

Some see the Grand Canyon as a beautiful geological phenomenon; others see it as a terrible crack in the earth, caused by sin.

Do you hate the whole physical world?

It's not really a challenge though. It is thought provoking, I will say that, but in the way of "Why does AV give such a care about something only he thinks about?"

The amount of thought, and how seriously you want to take it, is totally up to you.

You'll get out of it what you put into it.

And, anytime someone stays interactive for 152 posts, I'd argue they're challenged in some way.
