why??

[Jamesey]

Apparently the latest theory on how the universe was formed, is that there wasn't a "big bang" but two (for want of a better word) "brains" came together and fused.

There is also the theory that there are actually 11 dimensions, but because we are stuck in 3 dimensions, we can't see the others (Just like if a paper cut out man was stuck to a piece of paper, he would only see one dimension)

Frankly after hearing this, I'd be more inclined to believe in religion! Oh come on - that idea is barking!

A small point, but the theory is that two "branes" fused, the term "brane" coming from "membrane".

These theories are based in physics and mathematics, so they are much more credible than the religious mumbo jumbo, no matter how abstract and "barking" the ideas may seem.

Ahh thought she said "brain" hehe.
Nah, still crazy

Then again, she thinks there are countless parallel universes, maybe there is one where Huddersfield Town won the title, or perhaps that is taking barking to new heights

But, do you get the feeling that a god had a hand in it all somewhere along the line?

A very good question and I simply don't know.

I'm sure that there is no "interventionlist" god, who has any affect or influence on us. However, there are plenty of unasnswered questions, especially concerning what happened before the big bang. Our physics and mathematics break down at that point, so it's difficult to know anything about that time (although strictly, "time" didn't exist then)!

However, it is possible that some form of "higher intelligence" was at work. It's difficult to conceive that the universe is here as a billions to one chance occurrence.

I've read plenty of books on this sort of thing. One of the best was "6 numbers" by Martin Rees. It explains how 6 physical constants (eg, the speed of light, the charge of an electron) have caused us and the universe to exist. If any of these numbers were just fractionally different, nothing would exist. How were the values of these numbers set?

That was what Imagine was saying, a few posts back. That must be the book he was referring to....

not the same book but sounds very similar ,

i done a google search to try find the author, i couldnt believe just how many books videos etc with the same title, so i failed to find, but maybe my dementia will give me a break at some point

Cheers for that.

Well we will certainly find out one way another some day lastlid.
I married a beautiful woman who is adamant that God brought us together and only God will part us. Every night before sleep she thanks God for another day and in the morning thanks him again. She also thanks him before all our meals.
During all our problems with the UKBA during the last year she kept her faith and prayed constantly and as you all know God once again come up trumps.
I unfortunately lost my faith some years ago although I do occasionally question myself.
I married a beautiful woman who has an inner beauty that I have never before come across and I put a lot of this down to her faith. She tends to see the good in nearly everyone and has a remarkable outlook on life.
I PRAY she never changes .

Thanks for sharing that fella, that is really respectful, and the love for your woman really comes out in that

We can be different, but respect and love for all she is, is paramount

ohh that is so sweet!!

ohh that is so sweet!!

I agree Wayne...
The woman in that video made it to heaven because she very kindly donated her organs too the sick and needy.
Very sweet indeed.
