Yeah, time without a clock (watch) doesn't exist — Limitless Science
how can they tell that the universe is expanding if they haven't even seen the edge of the universe yet? — Limitless Science
No one can answer the question "why is there anything at all. — LD Saunders
Ok, gfo ahead and give us a rational, coherent explanation why nothing, as opposed to something, would be the default position? — LD Saunders
Why is there anything at all? Why not just nothing? Let's first define the exact opposite of nothingness! The exact opposite of nothingness is: 'everything existing' or 'all existing things'. Well, since I solved it, the answer lies within why nothingness can't be. Just imagine if there's nothing existing at all, how can the word nothingness mean anything? The word nothingness has no meaning if there's nothing existing at all. If there's nothing existing at all, the word nothingness can't exist either. If there isn't anything existing at all, there isn't anything that can support the fact that nothingness should be and not everything existing. There simply can't be nothing existing at all. We and everything around us exists without a beginning because nothingness can't be at all. — Limitless Science
Like I stated, you'd fail. No, it is not the simplest position to say nothing should exist. That's simply an assertion you made without any support whatsoever. — LD Saunders
Something always existing is supported by the very fact that we exist now, and out of nothing, nothing comes, so, if anything Occam's Razor is against you. — LD Saunders
You are simply claiming "I assert that there should be nothing as opposed to something; therefore, this must be true." — LD Saunders
I did have support from Occam's Razor: nothing is the simpler model; there are less moving parts; everything is explained for because there is nothing to explain. — Devans99
Our universe contains massive complexity; can you not see how strange that should be? All this matter, energy, space-time and the physical rules that govern it. Why is it here?
It so far removed from the simple solution of nothing.
So it could be God. In that something impossible has happened and there is something rather than nothing. What can you do but attribute the magic to some sort of Magician; IE God?
