    Yeah true, but my version had space battles, explosions and possibly even lightsabers (if I don't get sued) :)

    And don't you dream of a day when chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned?

    You all are just silly. ;)

    Don't you know that the big white bunny created everything? That's why he gives us easter eggs and chocolate on Easter day. I mean really... duh! ;)

    I still believe the egg came first. Just saying.

    Ben, what a huge can of worms you've opened. Is this my influence? Giggle. :)

    Tut , Hawking's attempt to find an 'Everything Theory' is just so much pulling at 'strings'.

    Probably... genetic mutation being what it is means that probably something besides a chicken laid the egg.

    But so is God.

    I find it amazing that people that believe in the almighty God base their belief on a book written by men. God didn't write it. Jesus didn't write it. It was a bunch of men that wrote it.

    I wrote a book, it's about a duck that talks, has a star on it's back, and plays video games. Even books based on fact are blown way out of proportion.

    It's a book. Yes, it's called the bible (snazzy title), but it's a book. If you're basing all your beliefs on a book written by mere men, than you would logically have to consider other books written by men. Not all books agree with "The Bible". So who do you believe?

    You're putting a lot of faith in a book. Just saying.

    Alt . My comment to Tut was a play on words. Hawking is trying to tie a bunch of what are called 'string theories' together into one unifying theory to explain everything. An ambitious project for us mere mortals.

    If I did not have the Bible I would still believe in a creator of the universe God . Many humans who have never read the Bible share this belief so it is more than just a book.

    :eek: I'm getting to it. Really I am. I promise.

    Hey, we can't hijack Ben's thread, he'll kill us and the bunny too. :eek:

    I'm not saying I buy Hawkings theory any more than I buy the bible. It's all just theory in my opinion.

    I respect that you believe what you do. I once believed too. A series of events changed my beliefs. I still believe a God created the universe, or at least had a hand in it, but I don't believe he's a loving presence guiding our lives and looking out for us. Just a difference of opinion. :)

    For the present discussion I was not invoking the God of the Bible beyond the believe in God the Creator .[Except my reference to Romans 1:19-22]

    You say I still believe a God created the universe, or at least had a hand in it. Then we are in agreement .

    But He brought you into MY life. That was Him looking out for me.

    Abraham taught that God is infinite. Gautama taught that God is within each of us. Now Hawking is trying to say God is an equation. Ambitious of him.
