[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 73125267, member: 241055"] You don't yet know what claims I 'begin' with. Any other origin myth would 'explain' it just as well - as would, "It's magic". None are explanations in any meaningful sense, they're just unsupported claims. We've discovered quite a few apparently illogical things are real - that mass and relative velocity distort both space and time; that the speed of light is constant regardless of your acceleration or relative velocity; that events that one observer sees as simultaneous, another observer may see as not being simultaneous; that particles can be in multiple states and/or places at one time; that the 'arrow of time' (and perhaps causality itself) is an emergent phenomenon; etc. That some concepts seem absurd or illogical or contrary to common-sense is a poor guide to whether they may be realised or not. But there are plenty of scientifically consistent hypotheses that involve an eternal universe or multiverse; or that involve a temporally closed universe, i.e. one where time begins and ends with a finite extent between the two, but no 'before' or 'after'. For an example of a scientific approach to the question of why there is something rather than nothing, see, '[URL='https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.02231.pdf']Why is there Something rather than Nothing?[/URL]' Scientology is just another religious scam, invented by a con-man. Perhaps you mean '[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism']scientism[/URL]'? Scientism is more a philosophy than a religion - it has none of the characteristic identifying criteria of religions. [/QUOTE]
