Of course you miss the option that makes the most sense: In a higher dimensional space, the universe is a chicken turd and was created when a finite and non eternal but higher dimesional chicken had to defecate. Any one that has tried to clean up bird crap will verify that something that is not eternal can create long lasting things.

So you agree that the universe was created by an outside being? That was the point of the argument.

I didn't say it was disproven. However through logical inference specialists in the field of cosmology seem to agree on it.

You miss my point. I believe that the universes creation is only interesting to us because it is our universe. I am simply suggesting that its creation is a perfectly mundane occurence. How about making it a rock slipping and falling in a higher dimensional space so that no other being is involved? My examply was also supposed to be a bit of a joke.

I am very dissappointed that this link didn't connect to the source of these arguements. I was really hoping to find what was at the root of all this lunacy. I don't appreciate you getting my hopes up.

And the IDEA that there MAY BE an intelligent designer is too far out for people that think this way? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned: 5. The Universe was created by something finite, not eternal.

It's odd to me all the assumptions we make about a creator if there is one. A creator doesn't have to be all powerful, all knowing, eternal, pure good, pure evil, it only needs to be something existant beyond our universe.

Yes, it really is. The universe is just too vast and our time in it has been much too short. Anything concrete regarding all the theories that currently abound could be centuries (if not millennia) away.
