I regret skimming that wall of text...I think I lost a few brain cells to the big 'ol salvo of stupidity infused with paranoia...and I needed them o so badly...
[QUOTE="Morning_Revival"]Its not as if its a vague question.. Seriously, it means exactly what it asks. Why were we the lucky ones to evolve to be this intelligent life we are now. Why are we here?!super_mario_128
Because we just are. Period. End of story.
Now, if its OK with you, I'd like to quit worrying about things we will NEVER know the answer to and start having some fun :)
It's interesting to think about. Just because you don't care for such stuff doesn't mean others aren't allowed to think about it.
[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]This has been proven false, the black hole destroyes matter.. And that black hole over time can evaporate.sSubZerOo
No one knows what happens at the event horizon of a black hole. They are destroyed at very least in this plain of existence.. The matter never comes out of the blackhole, and a blackhole some day will evaporate/disapear.
but it's also been theorized that the matter and energy comes out at another point. don't speak in absolutes about theoretical astro-physics.
the world will end in 2012 because people believe it will. chaos and anarchy will break out on the day it's supposed to happen, at some point a nuke'll get launched in the chaos and boom, we're all dead.
self-fulfilling prophecy brought on by lack of education and the internets.
[QUOTE="borgmaster"]the second law of thermodynamics, along with other things, predicts what is known as the "heat death of the universe" which means that all parts of the universe will eventually be the same temperature and thus there will be no reactions of any kind and things will literally stop happening. there will still be matter and heat, but none of it will do anything.Engrish_Major
Sure. That may well happen. But that isn't the "end" of matter and energy, thus necessitating the existence of a god. you misread me, eventually all energy in the universe will be converted to heat, because of this there will be nothing but sub-atomic particles floating around. they won't be forming into anything resembling what there is now. the universe will be, for all intents and purposes, a corpse.
[QUOTE="Theokhoth"]Because that would require a violation of thermodynamics and the laws of cause and effect. Unless you want to argue that the universe itself is supernatural and can violate its own laws, or that we don't know anything about the universe and physics at all, it doesn't work.
In addition, the universe Had a beginning and will have an end. Astrophysics have already given us all this.darkhorse286
How would it violate thermodynamics? If I recall, the Law of Conservation specifically states that energy/matter can not be created or destroyed.
Also, the laws of physics can't be completely proven, they are just widely accepted among scientists.
all the laws of physics are there because of consistentcy in all scientific observations, these are constant because we have seen them always, everywhere with nothing to show otherwise. if this universe was created by a higher being then why did he/she/it make it so that it'd die without outside intervention? is god just a f***-up? I personally wouldn't want the creator of everything to be clumsy like that, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
