We dont know yet, but at least we are trying to find out.
We dont just invent some lie and go on with it.

And by the way, only idiots answer a question with another question.

Teaching by asking instead of telling?
Yes, thats exactly why I said it.
Only idiots without a clue use it, to not look ignorant.
"I dont know the answer to his question, so I'll put a condescending expression and think of a harder one, fast!"

This works better: answer the question, then ask your question. On, and on.

My dear tardling, there is no point in trying to answer questions to which there is no possible answer.

Will we ever have to capacity to prove or disprove God's existance?  Do to what most agree to be his present nature, No.

Will we ever be able to see beyond the beginning of the Universe.  Do to what most agree to be it's nature, No.

Both questions are meaningless.  Where does God begin and the Universe end.  I think of the words god and Universe as synonomous.

Good answer why didnt you try that the first time?

By the way, dont you are not allowed to use a word I invented.

I thought the implications were self evident.  That happens alot where you are total jenius, such as I.

I figured that referring to you by your own patented, tongue-in-cheek insult, it would be that much easier to defeat you.  
ie: Superman and Kryptonite.

The problem then is, if God and the universe co-exist eternally, and the earth is a chunk of said universe then god can't have created the earth. Therefore the bible is lying.

Thus we can disprove the existance of god based on the case and parameters for his existance laid out in the bible.

Whoa, I never said I was a Christian or believed in the Christian god.

By God, I mean Universe.  By Universe, I mean the Tao and the multitude of things.  To me these are all different word for the same thing.

I'd just like to point out that I have been noticeably absent from this topic, seeing how it's been beaten to death... actually, quite beyond that into something that resembles a month-old sailcat rotting on the highway.

[Kieran]

...and before you ask, a "Sailcat" is that flattened critter on the highway (preferably a cat, can't stand the fish-eyed things) that has been run over so many times it is as flat as a pancake, and once dried can be thrown around like a frisbee.

I have a tomcat that kills rats and places them on my front step and this morning when I went outside to get the newspaper I stepped on one of his offerings and rat guts squished between my toes. I almost vomited but made it to the hose and rinsed off the various rat organs stuck between my toes. Man it was so gross. I hate rats.

[Cobra]

Heh, my sister's cat does the same thing.....leaves them on the front porch as presents damn near every day.

Drives her husband and the dog's bananas......not sure why, it just does.

There is nothing 'natural' about a progression from simpler to more complex.  Stuff rolls down hill.
