Some time ago I was given much grief for positing the
idea that the Universe could never have not existed,
(an idea that seems fairly obvious to me).

"not existed"... please define existence? Do you mean
as in universal order or as life seperate from organic
form?

After all this time, and your best response to duh-Mikey's
gibbering is your own brand of quacking?

What other expectations were you holding to?


Think of a giant box of Life cereal. The box is so gigantic
that it swallows everything whole. Except Mikey, whose
brain cavity is not only a perfect vacuum, but also a
wormhole to the Universal Dimension Of Objective
Nothingness. This peculiar quality that Mikey has enables
him to swallow the infinitely huge box of Life. That's why
he's unable to recognize the reality the rest of us inhabit.

Well sure, why didn't I think of that... ???


The last paragraph reads: "So when did time begin?
Science does not have a conclusive answer yet, but
at least two testable theories, plausibly hold
that the universe existed before the Big Bang.

You don't like the concept of the lotus flower (universe)
which grows out of Vishnu's navel, I take it ?

quack, quack, quack

Still struggling with the eternal universe which exists
all around you, George?



I don't offer this as proof of my view, simply proof that
the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe is not a
universally held view as some of you would have had
me believe.

It still looks like all things point to God (thought or idea
that transcends all thinking/universal archetype).

What's that down at your navel? My god, it's a
transdimensional duck-worm! And it's quacking madly.
You're a goner.

Yup, Powell is W-A-Y out there... don't recall saying
otherwise.
