    Either there's always been something, or once there was nothing.

    I find it impossible to wrap my head around either concept.

    Science also disproves religion and gods.

    There is a theory that when the universe reaches it limits of expansion, it will start to contract (Big Crunch) eventually returning to the state it was in immediately before the Big Bang. So forcing another Big Bang.

    Then there is the multiverse theory, and Dark Matter and multidimensional string theory. All of which appear to have been made up by some hippy out of their mind on LSD.

    I must admit, I've only just started watching his programmes... I think I saw his previous one and that was the first.

    It's certainly very interesting and the visuals definitely enhance the programme.

    But what I pondered wasn't so much what is out there undiscovered, or the incredible variations through space, or our scientific theories, or how little we know or understand. Instead, I found it curious that despite only using a fraction of our brains, we have such ego and hubris as a species to think we can understand everything and sometimes change it. Yet much of our species is living dismal existences, with curable diseases, that we're still so primitive to fight and kill over lumps of soil, or purely for nominal differences of view... And render that land useless for long periods while doing so, ignoring other living species. That we fail to acknowledge existential risk, and display even less ability to react and adapt swiftly.

    We're a curious curious species. And one that will only feature for a very short period in the context of space and time.

    Sadly I think you might be right.

    Really scary that throughout the vastness of space and the countless millions of planets and stars we on earth to our knowledge are the only planet with life on it. Even primitive life seems to not be present on every other planet. Well to our knowledge.
    I doubt any of us will ever get any answers to the many questions. That will be left to our future relatives who we will never know.

    Well you listened to Brian Cox’s unbelievably irritating voice droning on so that’s your persistence genes right there.

    I'm not sure you're right, so far science has discovered no evidence to prove that God exists. It's impossible to prove beyond any doubt that God doesn't exist.

    I say that as an atheist. My problem isn't actually with God, it's with the scumbags who have waged wars and subjugated the masses in his name - whether he exists or not.

    We don't know if the universe had a beginning or if the big bang was even that beginning.

    I mean common sense rules out all the Gods humans have made up.
    You are correct though science can not disprove the existence of God. Just like science can not disprove the existence of fairy's.

    Where it all gets really trippy is if you start looking into the free will debate.

    You've made me want to look into that now. But I don't know if I should. Am I doing it because I want to or because you've planted the seed?
