It's an unfair game.
In America you can't bring religion into the classroom. But you can
bring secularism into that class - and all its nihilist, sexual, drug addled
baggage. Secularism declares it is not a religion - but it holds we came
from nothing, for no reason whatsoever, and "no hell below us and above
us only sky."
So secularism can be taught, but "religion" can't.
Yes, that's right. Secularism is NOT a religion. It has no comment on anything supernatural. And no, it does NOT have the nihilistic, sexual, drug baggage you claim. It is simply the idea that religion is not something the government should be involved in AT ALL.
And yes, *science* can and should be taught, even if it disagrees with (some) religious doctrines. Same for history and philosophy.
And yes, time sprang into existence with the beginning of the universe,
whatever that beginning ultimately is found to be.
And if there was a beginning.
Science says the "expanding universe" pushes into "nothing." This same
"nothing" existed before the universe. It was a "nothing" like anything we
can comprehend - not even empty space or laws of physics ---- absolutely
n.o.t.h.i.n.g.
Nope. THIS is wrongly stated. The universe is NOT 'pushing' into anything (even nothing). It is simply expanding. Nothing, as you describe it, simply doesn't exist.
Your misunderstanding of quantum theory is noted. The conservation of energy is still a thing, though.If I could conjure up a unicorn (we are reminded unicorns are in the bible,
but unicorns is just a translation for "horned animal."} out of thin air we
wouldn't necessarily violate physics simply because the universe runs on
probability and all things are possible - just unlikely.
I'm sure that you understand that the Big Bang description, for example, does NOT violate the conservation of energy, right? For one thing, in your unicorn example, we already have time and are going from one time when there is not a unicorn to another time when there is. That is NOT the case with the universe at large: there was no time when the universe did not exist.universe is way more magical than my unicorn appearing. And people,
without thinking about it, are relying upon magic to explain how it all began.
Now, we can ask why there is anything at all rather than nothing at all. But that question cannot be answered at all. Even religious speculation fails at that one (simply brushing the existence of God under the carpet).
