A Teensy-weensy bit!

Not at all.


Rubbish! I proposed three alternatives.

1) God created it.
2) It is endlessly expanding and contracting
3) It was created in a single event which resulted in equal amounts of
"matter" and "anti-matter".

I can prove that two of them are impossible.

Please do so.


If you have an alternative proposal, then you should put it forward.
Simply stating that I am wrong is the behaviour of an idiot. I know
that you are not stupid, so why don't you offer us some evidence to
back up your position?

I have already stated (more than once) that I don't think we have enough
data to draw a viable conclusion. If we did have, this sort of thing
wouldn't be the on-going subject of debate that it is.


Is it compatible with the notion of 'god did it' being an inescapable
conclusion? If we don't have enough information to draw a conclusion
other than 'insufficient data', then how can any other conclusion be
'inescapable'?

Think about "beyond reasonable doubt"????

What?!? If the conclusion is 'insufficient data', then *no* other conclusion
can be drawn! If we don't know, then we *don't* know - any attempt to imply
that we do know is little more than fantasy.
