Doing the same thing expecting different results is a sign of insanity.Let's test your theory, shall we?
If a [whatever I want] is created ex nihilo, raising the amount of mass/energy in the universe accordingly, is it wrong to deny it on the basis of not having evidence of same?
Nope -- doesn't make my challenge a failure.
So much for your theory then.Doing the same thing expecting different results is a sign of insanity.
I dont have a ”theory”, I stated a fact.So much for your theory then.
Then test it.I dont have a ”theory”, I stated a fact.
You got the answers from me that the OP merited.Then test it.
And while you're at it, feel free to vote in my pole.
Like five others did.
Fair enough.You got the answers from me that the OP merited.
Is it wrong to state categorically that it did not happen? Sure, just as it would be wrong to make the claim that it did happen without any evidence. But that's not the reason we would deny such an event. Stating that such an event goes against everything we know about physics =/= stating categorically that it didn't happen, it merely says we cannot see how it is possible if our understanding of physics is correct.If a marble is created ex nihilo, raising the amount of mass/energy in the universe accordingly, is it wrong to deny it on the basis of not having evidence of same?
See why I call these things "challenges" now?Is it wrong to state categorically that it did not happen? Sure, just as it would be wrong to make the claim that it did happen without any evidence.

What's your point?
If a marble is created ex nihilo, raising the amount of mass/energy in the universe accordingly, is it wrong to deny it on the basis of not having evidence of same?
Scientifically marbles do not pop in and out of existence. They SHOULD because quantum physics should apply to large objects as well, but they don't, for some reason.
Which, of course, you can't.If we can measure the corresponding increase in energy in the universe,
No, I don't. So allow me to ask again - what's your point?See why I call these things "challenges" now?
Unless one is omniscient to the amount of mass/energy in the universe before and after an object is created ex nihilo, one cannot scientifically claim evidence of same.No, I don't. So allow me to ask again - what's your point?
So a marble gets created but there's no evidence of the marble being created?If a marble is created ex nihilo, raising the amount of mass/energy in the universe accordingly, is it wrong to deny it on the basis of not having evidence of same?
What evidence would you expect it leaves? plasma cloud? ion trail? microwave background? time crystals?So a marble gets created but there's no evidence of the marble being created?
It might displace other matter.What evidence would you expect it leaves? plasma cloud? ion trail? microwave background? time crystals?
It's all in the OP.Mainly I just wanted some clarification on your challenge.
Excellent. We now have you admitting that the bible is not evidence. Was that the challenge?Unless one is omniscient to the amount of mass/energy in the universe before and after an object is created ex nihilo, one cannot scientifically claim evidence of same.
Put another way, we have no evidence God created the Earth, and must rely on His documentation.
A marble is created ex nihilo.Excellent. We now have you admitting that the bible is not evidence. Was that the challenge?
