(710 posts)'You're thinking in human terms about inhuman topics
There is no obvious state of "before the big bang" since time was created in it, along with space.'
But isn't that what people who believe in a higher being are saying, that they believe in something that is not a human, something that brought time and space and everything we are right now into being.
If you acknowledge that we are talking about inhuman topics, then how can you have a problem with people believing in a higher being that brought all this.
Like I said, as we can never ever have absolute proof as to what there was before the big bang, then one can never ever disprove that a higher being created it.
Science is good, but science has its limitations. We can have scientific theories, but they are just that. If we cannot prove them through experiments, then they remain theories, and as such require faith.
Which is what believers in religion do, they have faith in a higher being, scientists have faith in an unproven theory.
And it will always remain an unproven theory because no matter how much scientists are able to explain, there will always remain the question of 'what was before that?'
Like I said earlier, one cannot get something from nothing.
How can you be so scornful of people who believe in something higher than humans when you yourself said that these are inhuman topics?
