What's your point?
What is the source?

My best guess of what their answer will be-god did it.

Yes it surely does.



Hmmm.....that could be the case. What say you TKramer?
Well, I'm not depressed. I'm just willing to admit that we might not exist. Is that so hard to imagine?

I don't really see a reason to ascribe some sort of "meaning" to life either. I don't really believe in religion, but assuming that there might be some sort of afterlife, and a belief in God is the only key to the lock, I'm willing to make a mental "belief" in God, not one from the heart, or from any sort of real faith. If there isn't, I haven't lost anything--because I'm not willing to change my life to make allowances for religion. I "sin" and don't really care. I don't let it bother me. Too many people worry about life, and I'm not going to do that, I just take it one day at a time. I don't worry about the future or obsess about the past. I don't see a need to question everything, or to examine every little detail...as it's ultimately unimportant.

Well, isn't that my point? Perhaps nothing ever "came to be"...because none of it exists. The only reality comes from the way we perceive it. A blind man doesn't perceive the sky as blue, so for him, "the sky is blue" is NOT a fact, is not his reality. And if we're not even here...

It's much safer to go through life as if none of it exists. And less worrisome.

It is always a Supernatural source of power.
Whether you beleive in God.
The Big Bang theory.
Or just look at the tiniest forms of matter.

Mr.T is right when he says we just don't know what the reality is.
But he has gone quite far in his assumption that everything may not exist.

The knowledge is not incredible.
It is quite simple.
If you are willing to accept the truth.

But, you can't just automatically fill in the gaps of knowledge with "Goddidit".

As I expected, you don't know what you are talking about.
You do understand what the definition of supernatural is, don't you?
Basically, it is something that exists outside of the natural world.
Quarks clearly exist in the natural world. Just because the subject of how quarks work is too complex for you, it does not mean the source is supernatural.

Again perception is NOT reality, it would not change the fact and reality that the sky is blue ( unless you live in Seattle LOL), just because he cant see it.
