Something Eternal

[Matt R.]

Hi,
I agree. If our universe is finite, and it has not always existed, it had to be created in some way. I choose to believe in God, and have mostly a deistic view of God. I simply think this is the most likely explanation for how our reality came into existence. Of course there are an infinite number of other possible exlanations, and they are all untestable. I just happen to believe that with the complexity and inflexibility of the physical laws in our universe, that a "conscious" (not necessarily like our own) force is the source of our reality.

PS- Haven't read Hawking yet, but I intend to. I'm interested to see his explanation of the Big Bang.
