I had the equivalent of a rabbit condo in one room of my house. The shit was contained with their domicile. I beleive it was 3 rabbits. Nice house pets.

If you believe in the big bang and all that followed for a billion years, then you cannot believe in the Book of Genesis, for mans existence is not a billion years old.

The question whether our universe was a consequence of intelligent design of some being, or it came into existence by accident cannot be answered one way or the other. There are views – religious and scientific – about it but there is no definite knowledge and probably never will be.

I choose to believe it is what it is, and not to believe in some magical being that waved his wand and *poof* made the universe.

I do believe in the Book of Genesis. It is the most logical and scientific explaination. Time is relative to the observer and whether 6 quadrillion or 6 trillion or 6 billion or 6 thousand or 6 seconds is irrelevant because to get the infinities of the universe energy had to move faster than the speed of light.

It can be answered and should be answered and HAS to be answered for the discerning mind. Maybe you simply punt on it but there IS an answer.

A rejection of the real answer and an ostrich's view. Yet you apply the existence to 'poof' by chance existence. Your view is no better than my view except I have a rational explanation and you choose to just say 'it happened.'

Yet your answer is magic. Nice try.

Your fault is you believe your explanation is rational when it is not. It is your opinion, which are like assholes.

My answer was not magic at all but a reasonable, logical and scientific explanation. Whereas you have none. Thus my postulation is clearly superior for there IS an answer to the question. You simply throw you hands in the air instead of using your mind.

ad hominem. I must be winning the debate.

By that logic energy would have to move at infinite speed. Of course you are completely wrong, the universe is not infinite.

What about for you?

But it sure isn't your answer.

E-man <> rational, a truism.

God DID move the infinite universe into infinity instantly. And the soft parts (matter/energy/galaxies) were moved out faster than the speed of light, thus the appearance of billions of light years when if the universe evolved then stars should be popping into the sky all the time. They do not.

You like those danceing bananas. And I see you added commentary to the Gort ape. Ah Cat. You have become the ultimate paparazzi stalker critic. Eman does tend to grow them in the mushroom shack.

You are going totally senile! As that NASA link indicated there are new stars being formed. However because the density of the universe is so much less than it was shortly after the big bang, there is much less clumping of matter and new star formation. The universe is still expanding (can you say Doppler red shift? I knew you couldn't).

I do! I have to admit that I wasn't a big emoticon fan before but the dancing bananas have given me an epiphany.

Which you fertilize with your infinite supply of bullshit.

Only one dancing banana this time, you're going to get hungry.

I believe that is the religion conditioning most of us have been subjected to.
