[quote=Anonymous]OP here, to consider I could be wrong:

Scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the theory that the universe exploded into being out of nothing.  Either no one created something out of nothing, or someone created something out of nothing.

Sagan's claim that "the Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be" is a statement of faith.  No limited human being could state with certainty what was, or what will be.

The statement "there is no such thing as absolute Truth" is an absolute statement.  Belief in that statement flies in the face of reason.

Either no one created the universe out of nothing, or someone did.  Either one could be true.  As limited human beings, none of us could know the answer with 100% certainty.  Which position offers more evidence?

As for the experience of Love...that is the real question, isn't it?  Even if a First Mover is reasonable, we are free to reject it, and make our own destiny.  Even if our intellect accepts evidence of order, and genesis, there is enough ambiguity for us to reject the evidence.  That is freedom.  Because love should never--can never--be forced.  God the ravisher, versus God as Love.

It is possible I am just weird, high, psychologically disturbed.  It is possible motion always was, and always will be. It is possible X and not X.  But what does the available evidence point to?

And is this question worth asking?  Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living.  We should ask these questions.[/quote]
