There's no specific reason to think it wasn't created. In fact, it seems more likely it was, which is my argument. — Qwex
The term "Intelligent Design" is usually taken as a reference to the top-down short-term creation described in Genesis. But based on current scientific knowledge, the universe did indeed emerge abruptly from an unknowable nothingness, and has taken billions of years to reach its current state of development (some estimate halfway to The End). So I have my own hypothesis of "Intelligent Evolution" (via "bottom-up Darwinism), that is based on Information Theory. It attempts to explain how Intelligent creatures have developed from the initial conditions of the Big Bang, which don't seem conducive to Consciousness : Intelligence In -- Intelligence Out.And so, in other words, top-down intellect seems more likely than bottom-up Darwinism. — 3017amen
If there are an infinite number of universes, there is one where the contents of this entire forum were created by monkeys randomly typing at keyboards. — Douglas Alan
Hmmm, that's an interesting question.A countable or uncountable number of universes? Would there be a difference? — jgill
We cannot answer whether the universe was or wasn't created, we can say 'nothing' or 'something' created us.

There's a lot of strangeness, misjudgements; a higher power, who could merely know more, is a high probability. There is probably existence of other dimensions and locale. This universe, was likely created in a chain of creations.
It's a reasonable suggestion based on all that strangeness.
I think 'some' implies relation and thing, 'anomaly".
Putting two and two together anomaly sounds almost toon, or contra-dimensional - for having what is anomaly power. — Qwex
All right, God created the universe. Where does that get you? — tim wood

What these guys don't seem to understand is while it is possible for matter and energy to appear out of nothing — christian2017
Yes, this is quite true because gravitational fields have negative energy. So even with conservation of mass/energy, it turns out that you can get something from nothing and it could turn out that the entire universe contains zero net mass/energy. — Douglas Alan

Stephen Hawkings essentially stated that in "a brief history of time" in the early 1980s. I don't know what percentage of Physicists adhere to this or if he changed his opinion on this over the course of time. Are you a physicist? — christian2017
I am not a physicist, but I do have an S.B. from MIT. And I did write the software that was used to operate an X-ray space telescope called the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. Alan Guth himself told me (or rather a small room full of people) how to make universes out of nothing. He even proved that gravitational fields have negative energy. The proof is quite simple, should you be interested. — Douglas Alan
