Isn't it possible that the universe simply always existed or that it sprang out of nothing?

IMO, the latter is impossible. Nothing can create something, if you get what I mean. Something has to exist to create, transform, or evolve.

People have trouble wrapping their heads around this. But while a singularity has no volume, it has infinite mass/density. It is not nothing.

No offense, but that doesn't make any sense to me. I know it's a belief that is accepted by many, but it is just not logical. If a "singularity" has no valume, it cannot have mass nor density. If something has no valume it simplydoes notexist in thenatural cosmos nor can it randomly appear. The closest thing tothat thatis logical is a supernatural being creating an object of mass possessing volume andhaving previously not existed.

Wow.Linkin Park sure wentdownhill fast. They went from pioneering Nu Metal (and being pretty decent) to making soulless pop-rock. I did like What I've Done, but they had better songs back in the days of Hybrid Theory and Meteora

Tru dat. Meteora was the best. Nearly every song in that album rocked. Like many others here I've kind of "grown" out of LP, but Hybrid Theory and Meteora are good albums.

Funny. lol

I'm an agnostic, though I like pantheism and solipsism, even though the latter is hard to swallow. I don't believe a belief in a God is necessarily a bad thing. It's simply an answer to the unanswerable question. I'm happy enough believing in an afterlife and a deity, and I certainly don't believe I'm 'simple minded'. Also, this thread will not end well.super_mario_128

Well, I'm not very familier with pantheism (but I do know a little bit about it), but I have no clue what solipsism is.

hail satan?nimatoad2000

That sure was in-depth. :lol: (Just being funny here.)

I am curious to hear what everyone's oppinion on theism is. Are you a theist or atheist? Do you believe there is more harm that comes out of theism than good? Is it a belief that was good to have in the past, but now in the age of science is too simple minded? Now, I don't want this to get out of hand. Let's just share our oppinons and discuss them. Sure we can debate some ideas but just be polite and don't critisize.

Okay, so let's talk. :P

Squier Stratocaster is a decent learning guitar. If you have some extra money you can go for a Fender.Kaze_no_Mirai

Don't listen to people who say it's better to learn the acuestic first. If your heart isn't in it, DON'T do it. You will most likely get discouraged. The electric guitar is a great instrument for learning, just as the acuesctic is. Go for it.

Hey, Anamosa, good to see you.:) I haven't seen you in a while.Crushmaster

Hey buddy. ;) I'm just stopping by every-now-and-then. It's good to see you staying busy for The Lord!
